Proposed Reference to Parents.
SAYS WOMAN SHOT HERSELF.
Chicago Woman's Identity Shielded
Because of Her Health.

CHICAGO, November 5.-The .mys-
terious Mrs. Mcpherson" who is a wit
ness in the investigation of the death bv
shooting of Miss Nellie Harris, at Wa
pakoneta. Ohio, is Chicago woman.
married, well known in society. and
about nifty years of age.
This much was divulged today by Sid
ney S. Gorham. who returned 10 his
office here after attending the inquest at
Wapakoneta as attorney for Mrs Lillian
II. Mcfarland. with whom Miss Harris
was living at the time OF her death
My reason for shielding the identity
of Mrs. Mcpherson is by no means an
efforS to conceal any crime or wrong
action on her part, said Mr.. Gorham.
1T is solely because her health is deli
cate, and she is in a highly nervous con-
dition. That was the reason that she
left WapakOneta. Mrs. Mcpherson as
sisted Mrs. Mcfarland when the latter
rushed to the dying girls aid. She was
very nervous, and il waS at Ni$ VI
FarIands suggestion that she left the
scene to compose herself. In view of her
iIl-health, | believe that the Wapakoneta
coroner will send an examiner here to
take her deposition. She is willing to
tell all she knows"
Mr. Gorham said he was convinced that
Miss Harris shot herself.
