PROBING MYSTERY
OF WOMAN'S DEATH
ycstieatlon of Circumstances OF
Mrs. Gooding's Poisoning.

Justice OF the Peace Stanley A.
Hanks and other officials, are this
afternoon probing into the case OF the
death of Mrs. Hannah w. Dugdale
Gooding. wife of g. w. Gooding of No.
10 Shelmcrdine court. who took a
quantity OF oil OF tansy Saturday eve
ming and died from the effects of the
poison at $50 Sunday morning.
That the woman committed suicide
there liz no doubt In the minds of the
authorities. but there arc certain cir
cumstanccs surrounding her death that
Justice Hanks believes call for q rigid
investigation. especially in view of the
fact that DR.. S. G. Paul, city health
commissioner. declined TO issue burial
permit or permission to remove the
body to Provo until the investigation
started Sunday by Justice Hanks is
finished.
From the accounts CLEANED so far. 1t
is evident the woman took poison be-
cause her husband was about to leave
for Arizona to look after some mining
claims. Goodlng. who is machinlst.
has been out of employment for some
time and on Saturday he told his wife
he mad received word from Arizona 10
the effect that mining claims he had
there were attracting attention and
that 1t would be necessary for him to
leave at once In order to take adyant-
age of any opportunity that might
present Itself. Mrs. Gooding, accord
Ing to the husband. begged him not to
go. but he insisted that 1t was
absolutely necessary.
Gooding told Justice Hanks that his
wife said she was going down town
shopping and that she would leave
the key under the mat so he could get
into the house if he returned before
she did. He said he came home early
In the evening. found the door locked
and found the key under the mat.
II entered the house" said Gooding"
and at once was attracted by groans.
1 rushed into the bed room and found
my wife lying on the floor Sne told
me she had taken poison and / found
a note written to me stating she was
tired of life. There was a bruse on
her face which was inflicted when she
fell against the door. I hurried for
physician and called DIR. J. H. Robin
SON."
DR.. Robinson called into consultation
DR.. S Ewing and the two worked over
the woman for several hours. but
without avail When n burial permit
was asked for and DR.. Paul aPprised
of the circumstances, the permit was
denied.
Asked for an explanation of the key
being under the mat and the door
locked from the inside, Gooding stat
ed there was pass key in the house
that unlocked all the doors and his
wife undoubtedly used that to lock the
door after placing the key under the
mat.

Last Night of Exhibit Gives Noisy
And Hilarious Farewell to
Successful Exposition.
PRESS PROVES GREAT FACTOR
Splendid Record Made I'm Attendance
And Sales at First Auto Show
OF Salt Lake.

The auto show has passed into his
tory Amid a din of noises. ringing
of bells. the footing of horns and the
sweet strains of the orchestra. the In
itIal automobile show in Utah recorded
one of the most successful events In
augurated in Utah. Manager "Bill'
Rishel proclaimed that "all the rules
and regulations are henceforth de-
clared null and void" This seems to
have been taken by the enthusiastic
crowd as license to break loose with
every available nolse-maker. vieing
with their neighbors in attracting tho
most attention from the throngs OF en-
thusiastic visitors.
Confetti was strcwn in liberal con-
fusion, automobile horns punctuated
the rattle and noise. while glaring
signs at different booths heralded the
successful endeavors OF the local
dealers in effectlng sales during the
show, OF course. flowers were in evil
dence and the worn-out salcsmen who
had been on the qui vive for the en-
tire week now forgot their business
cares and Joined in the merrymaking
for the balance of the evening.
MANY PROSPECTS"
President L. NJ. Raymond was beam
ing with appreciation at the success
of the event. 1t seems to have sur
passed the sanguine expectation of the
most enthusiastic vendors of these
gasoline wagons. People who were
not regarded as hopeful buys" devel-
oped into good. live possibilities and
scores into real life customers At
the opening of the exhibit things took
on a very deep blue aspect and the
pull-up-and-quit idea was very strong
ly felt by some OF the exhibitors. Here
the undaunted courage of Manager
Rishel was effective. He threw out
hopes to the boys and never ceased
booming the show until people far and
near began to really expect something
and on visiting 1t saw things in a little
better shape than they anticipated and
left with the happiest thoughts of the
auto show
The concensus of dealers Is that
square deal was given every exhibitor
and the uniform courtesy displayed by
the management Is sure to cement tho
friendship existing between the auto
mobile fraternity. Indiscriminato
praise can be given tho individual
exhibitors for tho manner In which
they conducted thoir solicitation for
business and tho attractive way in
which their booths wcre arranged.
