Of ,heir home here to-day Frances was
found dead lying on the floor, while
the body Of the sister dargled from a
piece os clothes line made fast above n
door leading from the dining room TO
the kitchen. Tho first indications were
that Frances had died from natural
causes and thai Isabel had hanged her
self In a parcxysm Of grief This theory
was dispelled when a small box was
found in tho dining room on the cover
Of which had been written these words

This led to the belief THAT the two
women had carried out suicide pact.

body being cut down by the sister. But

found on the other body. which leads
