Mollie Daniels, alias Mollie Watson, a
woman 81 years of age, committed suicide
In house on Seventeenth street and
Avenue c this morning using carbolic
acid as the instrument of death. She
drank large portion about 9:45 a. m. and
died about noon. AS soon as her asso-
ciates saw what had happened they
phoned the police and doctor, who, upon
arriving, saw that there no hope for
recovery. She came to Ensley about a
week ago from Bessemer. Coroner Brasil
er investigated the death this afternoon.
Thesrelatives of Hugh Grady, the we'll
known musician were shocked this aft
ernoon by a telegram announcing his
death in a hospital at Tuscaloosa today
Tony Meehl Immediately after the receipt
of the message used the long distance
phone and soon found that the message
had been sent to the wrong people and
that 1t was another Hugh Grady that had
died. Mr.. Grady's mother resides in
Ensley, and she was overcome by the
shock until the matter was cleared up
Mr.. Grady is in Tuscaloosa at this time
and this fact added to the credulity of the
telegram.
The local authorities have been trying
to find out who the person was who was
found dead near the rock quarry below
inc steel hill three or FOUR Gays ago Win
the head entirely severed 1t could not
be determined whether the person was
white or black, SO badly was it decom-
posed. The head cut off at the
shoulders. How the person came to his
death is mystery and who it was is a
deeper mystery.
