Mrs. Olive Brewington Hangs
Herself at Her Home.
Worry Over Financial and Fam
lily Troubles the Cause.
LEFT NO WORD BEHIND
Body Was Cold When Found by
the Son.
No Inquest Will Be Held by the
Coroner.

Despondent over her failing health.
her financial troubles and the failure of
her son Paul to give her the proper at
tention and support, Mrs. Olive Brew
ington. age 81 years, committed suicide
last night by hanging herself from the
rafters of the summer kitchen at her
home, 1882 Morris avenue. She left
nothing behind to reveal the cause of
her deed. The body was found this
morning by the son and it has been
taken into the hands of the undertaken
for burial.
Mrs. Brewington was a widow, having
been married three times. first to Jas.
Piper, who died after the birth of q
son, Charles. Then to William Brew.
ington. who also died after d few years
OF married life. The last marriage to
a certain John Stone ended very un-
happily in the divorce courts-Stone be-
ing addicted to the drink habit and re-
fusing to support his wife. 1t is thought
that these matrimonial troubles also
contributed toward the final terrible
deed of the woman.
When Mrs. Brewington was found
this morning she was hanging from the
rafters OF the summer kitchen which is
just behind the main kitchen of the
house 1t Is closed with close lattice
work and is where the woman always
did her washing. She had been washing
yesterday and the tubs and different
articles were around her. She had ap-
parently stood upon a small box used
for placing the washing tubs in better
position and tying rope around her
neck she kicked the box from beneath
her feet and in a very few minutes she
had strangled to death. She was not
found until the body was cold this
morning at 6 o'clock when her son
Paul. 20 years of age. came down stairs.
He arose from bed thinking that some
thing was the matter as his mother
was not busily engaged in her house
hold duties down stairs. He hunted
around the house and finally met the
CHASTITY sight out in the summer kitch-
en-.
Lived With Sons.
Mrs. Brewington lived in the big
house at 1882 Morris avenue alone
with her two sons. Paul Brewington
and Charles Piper. She has lived in
this house for the last fifteen years
and she is we'll known by all the resi-
dents of Lowman Hill. Nothing but
good was heard of her this morning
quired as to the probable cause of
the suicide. She was hard working
woman and has always been very well
liked. She was kind hearted and
would do anything for anyone in
trouble. The neighbrs tell many in
cidents of her charitable inclinations
and her many helps to the poor.
The three reasons for the suicide of
the woman are all claimed. separately
by different neighbors. Some said
this morning that she has been in
very poor health and has worried
over this for many months. Mrs.

Late yesterday George J. Gould, one
of the trustees of the Gould estate, was
called to the stand by Mrs Gould $

for Howard Gould?' he was asked
We have never divided the estate"

estate?'

Gould, in the same tone in which he
might have spoken of eighty cents.
Then Howard Gould is in receipt of
amount?"
Yes. The principal is held in trust
during the life of the six children. He
has life interest in one-sixth of the
property -----.5s--
Mr. Shearns asked what Howard

life Mrs. Gould received all told about
the income of one year.

ernment Inquiry.

New York, June 15.-There was an
abrupt decline of IS a share in Aneri-
can Sugar Refining stock during the
first hour of trading on the stock ex-

attributed to the litigation of the COM

one time the stock fell from 127 to 123

DIT. Gradenwitz; Mr.. Ernest Runner Of
Berlin, we'll known by his inventions in
the field OF wireless telephony and teleg-

first demonstration apparatus which may
be said actually to solve the problem. The
