MISSING WOMAN IS |
PUzzLING POLICE
Servant Girl Leaves Note That
She Will End Life With
ChlOrOf0rm
Doubt Is Cast Upon Her Story,
However, by Her Strange
Actions

Whether Mrs. Eva Sweigart, alias
Murphy. has committed suicide or is
simply trying to frighten her relatives
is a question that is puzzling the po-
lice, and Detectives de la Guerra and
Black are making an effort to clear
up the mystery. They have searched
Golden Gate park for her body but
have so far failed to find any trace
of it or of the woman, if she is still
alive.
The woman had been employed as a
servant in the home of Mrs. Douglas,
1851 Stanyan street, where she was
known as Eva Sweigart. She packed
her belongings on Sunday morning and
left the house On the wash stand in
her bedroom three letters were found.
One was addressed to Mama, Mrs.
Albert Harris. 1112 Twenty first street,
Seattle, WASH and reads: "Goodby
mama, Elsie. Oma and Alta. Joe de-
serted me and chloroform is all that
will end my trouble. | hope you will
forgive me and hope the children will
all do better than / did. Eva"
Another was addressed Husband. Joe
L. Murphy, Oakland traction company,
Oakland" and reads: 'Goodby Joe,
dear. You caused it but forgive me,
your wife, Eva A. Murphy" The third
was addressed to Mrs. o. Hansen, 1921
McAllister street. San Francisco" and
reads: We'll Ollie. goodby. | die
happy. Forgive and forget, your sis
ter, Eva"
The police were notified and the let
ters handed over to them. The woman
is described a. % years of age, feet
, inches in height, of slender build,
light brown hair blue eyes and weigh
ing about 10 pounds. She wore a blue
suit and brown dude hat What looks
suspicious to the police is the fact
that she packed her effects and took
them with her. II is argued that if
she contemplated suicide she would not
have taken the trouble to carry her
effects away with her.

Gates Central Clearing House

BOSTON, Oct. 1S.-Making proba bly,

retirement from the Office of treasurer
of the United States on November /,
Charles II. Treat of Washington to-
night address the Bank officials as
sociation. He said, among other things:

bank or national clearing house bank,
1 am still convinced that the people
would not accept any currency that
does not have the governments guar
antee behind it."

postal savings banks should be estab-
lished. so that the money savings of
the people might absorb the output of
some $4,000 900 of per cent bonds
and thereby safeguard the government
credit.
