MRS. DEARY
A SUICIDE

Mrs. Blancle Deary, wife of w. NJ
Deary, carpenter, committed suicide
AT her home az the corner OF T1ldsn
street and South Missouri avenue late
yesterday afternoon by taking a large
dose o. carbolic acid. She took the
poison at about AIS and although ev-
cry effort was made to save her life,
she passed away at 7:1S last night.
She was AZ years old and leaves a
large family of children, two daught-
ers being married and living in Utan
and Arizona.
The rash act was threatened by
Mrs. peary just before she took the
dose, but tle family did not think
she world carry out the threat. She
poured at least TWO ounces of the ac-
id i'm a cup. walked out of the house
and as she started back drank all but
little of the deadly poison. Then
she told what she had done and was
soon ia the agonies that this drug
produces. Her son ran TO a neighbor
and there found Mrs. Charles Brown
and Mrs. 5. II. Hobbie. The former
went tc the rescue and the latter
phoned for a physician, tnen going to
help Mrs. Brown. The two women
gave alcohol and eggs and when the
Physicians had arrived the stomach
was pumped and washed out. But
was so large, however. ii prevented
, quick work, and life remained three
hours after the taking of the poison.
Owning TO statements made as to
the cause of the suicide il was con-
siderel advisable to Aold an inquest,
and this was set for one-oclock this
afi ernoon. The evidence at this in
quest is given below as the most au-
thentic source of information on that
point.
The Deary family are Iowa people,
Mrs. Deary being a native of Keokuk.
They have lived in California three
or -four years, until coming to Las
Cruces nine months ago. Six months
ago hey moved to Roswell but inten-
ded 10 remain here only temporarily
and later move back to Iowa. Mr.. and
Mrs. Deary nave been married 26
wears and have seven living child

The Committee on City affairs mad
no report to make on the numbering

In connection with this a comrnun-

fused on the ground that certain
streets had no sidewalks and houses
were not number; also because of the
lack OF street signs.

w J. Irwin had only hearsay tes-
timony, as did also Roy Woofter. the
city marshal.
Harry Deary, the 10 year old son,
said that ne came home after the TAX
ing of the poison He said his parents
quarreled now and then, but not more
than the average, he thought. His faith
er was drinking little yesterday, he
said. 1t was his mothers habit, he as
serted, TO fuss at mis- father whenever
he drank and that his father listened
to it a. long as he could and if their
mother did not quit he would get up
and so out of the house. He said his
mother was in the habit of having
ner own way and that his father let
her have her own way all the time.
His mother. he said. had been de-
spondent since she was first sick last
winter and had threatened to kill
herself over in Las Cruces. She Lad
said that sne was going TO drink the
first bottle of carbolic acid she found,
and since then, he, the witness, al
ways destroyed any acid he found a
bout the place. Mrs. Deary was mid
wife and the bottle in this case had
BEEN bought for disinfection work
For that reason, the boy said, he mad
let ii stay in the house. 1t had been
in the house three days. The Deary
family had had adj the necessities of
life since coming TO Roswell. He and
his father mad had plenty of work.
The coroner's jury returned to the
office of Justice Welter and signed a
verdict that Mrs. Deary came to her
death from the effect of taking car
bolic acid. the act being of her own
volition

thought of him as being excited rath-
er tnIn intoxicated.
Charles Brown learned of the af-
fair upon coming home at night. The
people of the neighborhood told him
and lie started over to the house and
met the second son, who told him, ae
said, that his mother mad taken pois-
on and that IL was his fathers fault.
The nsighbors had told him. he said.
that a woman had taken poison and
that there was a drunk man over at
the Deary house.
Mario Deary, a girl of ten, said she,
papa and little brother were in the
house when her mother took the pois-
on. Her father and older brother had
been away all day and upon ner faith
sr's return her mother accused ni7n
of having been drinking. Her father
denied the accusation. They had no
quarrel, the little girl said, but her
mamma said she would take carbolic
acid. She said her mamma was angry.
but sLa did not know what about. Sne
said that her parents had not had a
fuss fer a long time. She said that she
believed her mother and thought ner
father was drinking. He was not in
the habit of cursing about home, she
said, hut that he did last night. After
the mother mad taken Inc poison, her
father said she ought to die, the lit
tie girl said. Il saw her take it, tes-
tiiied Marie. she poured il in a gran

Carroll Deary, the eldest son, told
of his mother taking the poison. He
and his father had made a trip to
Dexter that day to see about a job OF
work. Together they had taken two OF

noticed nothing strange about ais ac-
tions excep. that he was greatly ex-
cited. She attributed the fact that he
swore and talked roughly to the fact
mat ne was excited Sne stated siie

habitually. Mrs. Deary was uncon-
scious when she arrived, she said, and
