Mrs. lavina Reese Found In Her Bal
timore Home With Frac-
tured Skull.

Baltimore Nd. Sept 24.-Mrs. La
vinia Reese, widow of John S. Reese,
who, with his wife, were well known
in the fashionable world Of Baltimore
some few years ago, was found dead
under very unusual circumstances In
the sitting room of her apartment.
An autopsy showed that her skull
had been fractured. The BODY was
found lying at right angles across
couch, blood was oozing from cash
on the back OF her head, and the wall
and floor bore blood stains.
Whether foul play was committed is
a matter of conjecture. 1t was said
that Mrs. Reese had been imbibing.
and number of empty whisky bottles
scattered about the apartment bore
out this assertion.
Mrs. Reese's husband died in the
city poor house, although she was a
wealthy woman.
