dam, and that once Noble heard her
say in the presence Of callers: My

sometimes at old things like the
law and religion when they say;

tempt at suicide last week by taking
poison. A physician told the officers
that he had been called in and found
that Noble had taken some drugs and

herself. Mrs. Noble is believed to
have sought, even after her marriage
with Noble a reconciliation with her
former husband, Walter Suydam, and
to have told him of the fatal mistake
she made in running away with the
young plumber. Mrs. Noble will be
buried in Philadelphia in the family
