her husband for non-support. For fail
ure to obey the courts order to supper.
his family, an attachment for contempt

ENDS LIFE AT
LOVERS HOME
Tilted Cir! a Suicide at
Mount Vernon, N. 7.

Mount Vernon, N. Y, June 19.-The
body of a young woman who shot and
killed herself Saturday night on the
lawn Of O. p. Miller's home, directly
under the dining room windows while
the family were at dinner, has been
partially identified as that of Elsie
Oswald Of Philadelphia, who has been
living recently at 824 West Ninety
sixth street, New York.
A letter about which the coroner
does not care to say much, but which
is said to have been addressed to Oil
yer John Miller, the twenty-two-year-
old son of G. P. Miller, contained the
request that If anything happened to
the writer her father, John Oswald,
of 382 Leverington avenue, Philadel-
phia, be notified. Mr.. Oswald talked
with the Mount Vernon police over
the phone and on hearing their de-
scription of the young woman said
that probably 1t was his daughter.
Mr.. Oswald said that he would come
to Mount Vernon today.
Much secrecy Is being observed re-
garding the suicide and the matters
which preceded it. The Millers, father
and son, had a long conference with
Coroner lies, and the young man made
q statement to the coroner, most of
which the latter declines to make pub
lie. Neither father nor son will be
seen with regard to the shooting.
