silks she was to have worn in Hamburg,
Germany, where she was to be mar
ried to Capt. Christian Laurens, of the

Miss Lagerquist arrived on a visit to
her aunt, Mrs. Freda Asmus, about
three weeks ago, in order to get her
trousseau made. The aunt and the
girl were inseparable companions. The
girl made arrangements to leave for
Germany on July II.
She had finished most of her pur-

Revolver In Drawer.
One trunk was ready. Suitcases and
two other trunks were open in the
room. Miss Lagerquist suddenly re-
membered that she had not packed a
lace foulard gown. She searched in sew
eral drawers, but could not find 1t.
Finally she looked in an upper drawer
and observed the glistening barrel of a
revolver.

preached the girl and at that instant

in something in the drawer. There was
a report, and the girl fell dying. The
bullet penetrated the left side of her
head.

boy, whom she ordered to summon a
physician. DR.. J. d. Padgett reached
the house a few minutes afterward,
but the girl was dead.
Death Accidental.
Policeman Meyers called DR.. Newell,
of the Washington Heights Hospital.
He said the young woman had died
few minutes after the bullet pierced
her brain. Coroner Feinberg decided
that it was a case of accidental shoot
ing.
The Munson line has been notified of
the girls death. They will in turn
send a message to Captain Laurens.
Mrs Asmus asserted that she did not
know where Captain Laurens was. She
said that the revolver belonged to her
husband, and that she had forgotten
