WOMAN ENDS LIFE

LOS ANGELES, Cal. Jan. Eff
people had called on me | might have
been spared TO bring up my children.
but now it is too late. God forgive
me; | am not in my hght mind"
This is the note found on a dresser
in the room In which Mrs. May Davis
was discovered yesterday afternoon,
dying from the effects OF bullet
wound in her head and carbolic acid
she had swallowed.
She was the young, pretty and we'll
to-do widow of Alfred Davis, who COM
mitted suicide in this city three years
ago, and the weapon with which she
had sent the bullet into her brain was
the same one with which he had kill
ell himself.
That the deed was premeditated and
that all precautions had been taken by
the woman is shown by her sending
her two children, Stella, aged II, and
Ralph. aged 5, with a note to neigh
Dor, G.. X. Barber. at the willows,
more than mile from the Davis home
at Sixteenth and American-aves. The
note read as follows:
Il want Mr. Barber to be the ad-
ministrator OF the children's property.
Send them TO my brother, Henry
Steele, IS SOON as possible at lonia.
Mich There is about $500 in the
bank II will take three months TO
settle matters. Pack children's keep
sakes In box. My bedding and clothes
ship east when children 60"
Mrs. Barber opened the note and at
once Mr.. Barber started for the Day-
is home and Mrs. Barber telephoned
the police. 49,
Although left in conceivable cir
cumstances, Mrs. Davis had never re-
covered from the shock Of her husS
bands death. and constantly worried
and brooded over her troubles. She
was a former resident Of Ionia, Mich,
where her brother, Henry Steele, still
lives.
