SEEKING DEATH,

Mrs. D'Essi Commits Suicide by
by Drowning at Atlantic
City.

Atlantic City, N. j., November o,
Mrs. Emily DEssi native of France
and a resident of Philadelphia fifty
eight years old, walked into the ocean
at South Carolina Avenue and drowned
herself. She had taken off her outer
garments and laid them in a neat pile
on the beach. The clothes were discov-
cred by boy, which led to search
The body was recovered after 1t
had been In the water for several hours.
No one witnessed the suicide. so far
as known.
News of the finding Of the clothing
spread quickly through the hotel dts
trlct and along the Boardwalk. De-
fore the police had arrived to take
charge of the search several hundred
people had rushed to the scene of the
tragedy. Fashionably-gow women
left their olling chairs on the Board
walk to join the throng on the strand
and peer over the breakers. trying TO
catch glimpse of the woman's body.
In Winter for Hours.
For an hour the anxious people on
the beach watched the drag for the
cody. II was finally discovered by a
life-saving crew almost square away
from the spot where the garments were
found. The crew hastily put back to
shore. Physicians. who had been sum-
moned, attempted to resuscitate the
woman. It was found by close exam
ination that Mrs. D'Essi had been in
the water for hours.
When the women saw the dead wo-
man tenderly carried from the beach,
her features fixed in half smile and
long gray wisp of hair showing from
under the overcoat placed over the
body, many of them cried They were
led from the scene.
The body was placed In the hospital
ambulance and taken to an undertake
ing establishment. There 1t was claimed
by Philadelphia whose identity the
police refuse to make known
Too Late to Prevent Tragedy.
Upon information gathered by the
authorities 1t was learned that Mrs.
DEssi left hotel on Arch Street.
Philadelphia, about 10 o'clock Monday
morning and came to this city.
She registered at beach front hotel
at the foot of South Carolina Avenue
There she sent ltters TO tn man who
claimed the body, declaring her inten-
ton of ending her life. He came to
this city on the first train after re-
ceiving the letters. but was too late to
prevent the tragedy.
The police gathered from this narra-
tive that Mrs. D'Essi recently returned
from Russia. There she had been
nursing a sister, who is slowly dying
from an incurable disease. A short
time ago she lost her husband, and
shortly after her only son died. II is
believed the woman became mentally
unbalanced when she realized that
the illness of her sister was fatal.
This sister is said to be her only sur
viving relative.
Before leaving the hotel early yes
terday morning the woman expressed
her trunks and other luggage TO New
York. An effort will be made to re-
cover them. The man who assumed
charge of the body will bury Mrs.
d Essi from this city at Pleasantville.
