A CRUEL HOAX.
Alleged Double Suicide of
California Couple
Proves Simply Foolish Joke Of
WOuId-be Smart Friends.
Neither Of the Parties Feel Inclined
To Laugh at "Joke."

Los Angeles, Cal, Sept PA hoax,
complete in every detail and execut-
ed in such a way as to defy discov-
cry at the time, was perpetrated upon
the Los Angeles newspapers, Satur-
day night, when double suicide of
Niles G. Folsom, a Los Angeles at
torney. and Mrs Thelma Bartse. of
San Diego, was announced. The per-
petrators acted with malice, accord
ing to the authorities, and vigorous
search is being made for them, to-
day.
The story said Folsom and Mrs
Badtse leaped to death in an automo-
bile, which Folsom had driven over
Topango Pass in the Santa. Monica
mountains.
Folsom is alive and well in this city
and Mrs. Bartse is said to be in San
Francisco. Folsom declared he had
no idea who the perpetrators of the
hoax could he.
A man giving his name as X. Ma
son, a member of the National Guard,
first gave the report Of finding the
bodies, but the real X Mason de-
cIared he was not in the mountains
bogus Mason is now being sought by
the police.
Folsom. who is living with his
mother at 1116 Third street, Santa
Monica, said:
1.-The published account of my sup
posed suicide must have been inspired
by some person who wished to do me
harm. I have no enemies that / know
of and l cannot for minute believe
that anyone l know would cause such
an article to be printed.
''It is fact that | know the chorus
girl and | also knew the Bartse wom-
an mentioned in the account. My re-
lations with both of these women We're
purely that of friendship and neither
of them considered me as other than
a friend
"At the time I was supposed to be
engaged in carrying out this suicide
pact, | was at home in bed. 1t was
said that l drove the machine at full
speed OYER the cliff. This is dramatic,
but it is not based on any fact. I
cannot even drive an automobile"
