BUTLER IN HER FAMILY, J
ST. Louis, April 2.-Mrs. Julia Ger
hart, formerly a social, leader, di-
vorced from Charles B. Gerhart, a
wealthy real estate operator, has
committed suicide.
After her divorce Mrs. Gerhart had
married L. w. Kellogg, a negro.
formerly butler in the Gerhart
home. The marriage was kept secret
for time, but friends of the woman
learned of her wedding.
Then she became an outcast. She
was no longer welcome in their
homes. She was as one dead. But
she had to go on living, her disgrace
known to the world.
Mrs. Gerhart attempted to bury her
identity in an obscure rooming house.
But the negro husband, who took
pride in his white wife. followed her,
At first the rooming house keeper re-
fused to admit him. Then she, too,
learned of the relation between the
black man and white woman. She
was ready to- ask Mrs. Gerhart KEEL
logg to move.
With this last refuge taken from
her, the respondent woman took
poison.
Kellogg, even after his white wife |
was dead, wanted the world to know
of the relation that had existed be- |
tween them. He appeared at the po- |
lice station and asked, with evident |
pride, if he was wanted in connection |
with her. death.
Mrs. Gerhart and/the negro were
married in st. Paul in November,
1872. Since that time the woman |
has been morose. She and her hus-
band did not live together.
Yesterday morning she bought
four ounces of bromidia, and took
half the contents of the bottle. An
