Tired of life" as her friends be-

bolic acid Tuesday morning and died
shortly after physicians arrived from

Mystery surrounds the exact cir

been the cause.
Mrs. Joseph c. Upchurch, mother
of the young woman, had kept the
carbolc acid in a closet for house
hold purposes. She had always kept
the closet locked, according TO a
statement made to the police, but
Tuesday morning left the key on q

A few moments later she found her

frantic mother summoned the Grady
