Mrs. Rose Osgood Brilliant, whose hus

n, committed suicide in New York
Thursday. left here this afternoon to &C
to York. Pa, where her husbands body
was taken from New York and where
| the funeral will take place tomorrow
| father Whitman Osgood; her mother
and her aunt, Mrs. c. E. Clifton.
The letter written to Mrs. Brillhar,
| by her husband and found lying neaI
him after he had killed himself, and late,
mailed to Mrs. Brilliant by. the New
York authorities. was received by her
father here yesterday and opened and
read by him.
Letter Gives No Clue.
Mr.. Osgood declared that the letter
| threw no light on the suicide Of Lieut.
Brilliant; that it was an affectionate let
ter saying that the young officer hoped
soon to be home. There was no sugges-
ton that he was contemplating suicide
in the letter, which contained not more
than fifty words. After saying that he
hoped to be home soon, Lieut.. Brilliant
asked after his wife's health.
The letter was carefully written and
sealed, showing no signs Of haste or dis
order.
Mrs. Brilliant has been so unnerved
since the news of her husbands death
reached her that she saw no one today
at her apartment in the Cairo except
members of her family.
No Navy Department Inquiry.
The Navy Department will accept the
report OF the suicide of Lieut.. Brilliant
from New York. and will make no fur
ther investigation of the matter, it was
stated today by Acting Secretary of the
Navy Beekman Winthrop
"Appreciating the sorrow the I'M
fortunate affair must cause his relatives,
the department has no desire to keep
the suicide of Lieut.. Brilliant in the
eyes of the public" said Mr.. Winthrop.
In the opinion of Mr.. Osgood, the
suicide Of Lieut.. Brilliant came as the
result Of overwork. He pointed out that
Lieut. Brilliant had worked hard over
the inquiry which followed the collision
between the Dolphin and the motor boat
Culprit Fay. and that after this strain
he had continued his work as inspector
of ordnance at the navy yard without
taking rest. Mr.. Osgood declared that
the continued overwork had brought on
nervous breakdown.
