"She looked like she might have
been school teacher" said Solen-

and started up the trail, and seem
ed so absorbed in it that she paid
mo attention to anyone and never
stopped as she passed.

LONDON, Feb. Ton the Verge
Of death from the effects Of chloral,
which she swallowed with evident
suicidal intent, Mrs. Florence
Schenck Wilson, formerly a belle
OF Virginia, is under the care Of
physicians and nurses here today.
Mrs. Wilson's attempt to take her
own life was made in a well-known
West End hotel. Despair because
her husband, Charles H. Wilson,
manager of Alfred Vanderbilt's rae
ing stable, refused to see her, is
given as the cause of her deed.
Three weeks ago she came to

whom she had parted in Paris, evi-

sad to have been in straitened cir

to both him and Vanderbilt for aid.
Last Thursday she appealed to him
in d letter in which she said:
II have no one to turn to but you.
All the world Is against me. Fail
ing to hear from you by tomorrow,
will let the lights go out, and in
the dark my heart will be for YOU"
She did not receive a reply from
Wilson, and Friday evening swal-
lowed the poison. That she was
not killed almost Immediately. the
doctors believe, is due to the fact
that she took too much of the drug.
When Wilson did not come to her
aid, she retained John B. Enever, a
solicitor, to tring suit against him
for support. Wilson's counsel claim
