Jack McFadden, who was asleep in his
room at the time, awoke, and he went
to Miss Rumble's room, finding the
door locked. He at once notified the
police. The officers had to force the

lying on the floor with revolver in

center of her forehead. They took her
at once to the Queen S Hospital.
Deputy Sheriff Rose found a bundle

| had more to contend with than anyone
else. She then went on to berate some

one dollar, and that he played upon her

have caused her to become almost
