GRIEVING WIDOW COMMITS
SUICIDE IN WEDDING GOWN
"The Man | Love Is Cone" She
Said in Note.

NEW YORK. Sept. 6.-Charles c.
Cordes and his wife. Bertha Cordes.
we're so inseparable through all the
years of their married life that their
friends often wondered II the one
would ever be able to live without
the other. That is why, when Mr..
Cordes died In June it was deemed
wisest that her young nephew, Fred
erick Zimmerman, should enter the
household that she should not be
quite alone in her sorrow.
The young nan was called away for
a few hours late yesterday afternoon.
1t was a little after 5 o'clock that he
let himself into the house and finding
all the lower floors deserted, ran ur
the stairs to his aunt's room
He tapped at the door, and, getting
no response, stepped in and switched
on the lights. Mrs. Cordes lay dead
on her bed. Her hands were folded
on her breast and she was dressed In
the wedding gown she wore when she
and Charles Cordes were married In
1901. The air was heavy with the
odor of escaping gas and a tube
stretched to the dead woman's mouth
from the gas jet.
She left a note saying; 1.-THE NAL
love is gone
