SOCIETY WOMAN
SUICIDE IN Lake
Mrs. Walter B. Smith Ends Life
with Strange Rite.
kNEElS OVER TINY MOUNDS
Small Boys Attracted to Her Actions
by Thinking She Is PIayins-Run
for Police When She Walks In Lake
With Rope Around Her Neck.

'oT FoiiCe Wnen one walks IN Lake
With Rope Around Her Neck.
Chicago, Sept. 9.-After making two
little graves in the sand of the lake
shore, placing in tin can of flowers
at the head of one and praying over
the toy graveyard she had made, Mrs.
Walter b. Smith, one of the wealthiest
and most attractive young society ma
irons Of Lake Forest, tied a weight
about her neck and leaped into Lake
Michigan. Her body was washed
ashore about 3 O'clock.
Mrs. Smith was the daughter of Hi
ram r. Mccullough, vice president OF
the Chicago and Northwestern rail-
way. She was the wife of Walter B..
Smith, stock broker and member Of
the Chicago, Onwensia and other ex-
elusive clubs. Her father-in-law, By.
ron L. Smith, is president of the
Northern Trust company and is close.
ly identified with some of Chicago's
largest financial houses.
Boys Watch Last Rites.
About 1880 o'clock two little boys,
boys, playing agonl the shore at the
edge of Lake Forest City park. at the
foot OF Deerpath avenue, saw wo-
man make her two tiny graves in the
sand, put some flowers in a rusty tin
can and place them at the head of
one of the graves, and kneel over the
little mounds as if she were praying.
The strange lady then began to tie
a rope around her neck. Then the
boys were frightened.
"She's going to hang herself" whis.
pered one.
Lets run-let's get policeman "
said the other.
So the little fellows found a police.
man. But when they went with him
to the place the woman was gone.
II guess she's gone home" said the
policeman.
1t was not more than fifteen minutes
after the boys had witnessed the
strange scene on the shore that Rein.
hold Lien went dow to the beach to
battle.
Thinks Body Was Clothing.
Lien walked out to the end of the
pier, about 100 feet, and saw what he
took to be a bundle OF clothing, lying
in about eight feet of water. He
thought is was cast-off clothing. and
did not attempt to recover it.
About 3 o'clock the east wind and
the waves had carried the bundle of
clothes to the shore end Park Police.
man Martin Sweness saw It. He went
to the edge of the water to examine il
and found it was woman's body.
Cord Tied Around Neck.
And around her neck was found the
cord which she had been tying on
when the boys got frightened and ran
The loop was still fastened, but not
tightly enough to choke her One end
hung down, frayed and raveled. and Il
Is believed that she had tied a stone
to it so that her body would sink, but
that the cord broke from the weight.
The cord was Of binder Irvine.
