Mrs. John Stott Drank Car
bolic Acid and Died
Within an Hour
TRAGEDY AT UPPF- .,o@
GRANITEVls e;
Leaves Five Children, the
Youngest Of Whom Is
Only a Baby

Crying II have done it, ] have done
it," Mrs. John Stott ran into Daniel
Ryan's yard at upper Graniteville late
yesterday and fell to the ground before
she could be assisted into the house.
Over in the Stott's barn a few rods away
an empty bottle of carbolic acid after
wards found explained the woman's fren-
zed actions. Once in the house she sank
into chair and lost consciousness.
Death came an hour later, after DR..
n. i. Avery of East Barre and Health
Officer DR.. 4. Ii. Bailey had used heroic
means to save her life. Two ounces of
undiluted carbolic acid is the potion
which Mrs. Stott chose to end her life.
To neighbors who had been in touch
with the woman for few DAYS prior to
her demise, her death was not wholly
unexpected Family troubles are said to
have weighed heavily on her mind and
more than once she had threatened to
end it all. Wednesday she came to this
city and purchased a bottle of carbolic
acid at one of the drug stores. Return
ing home, she announced determination
to take the poison soon" and near
friends who believed that the condition
woman to a rash end. sought diligently
to locate the bottle. That she was in
earnest when she made the promise is
shown by the fact that careful search
OF the premises before her suicide failed
to reveal the bottle.
Mrs. Stott was at home when her hus-
band returned from work in the late aft
ernoon. Almost as soon as he arrived,
she left the house and was seen to enter
the barn in the rear. There, it appears,
she uncovered the bottle from its hid
ing place and drank of its contents.
Then, realizing the enormity of her act,
she rushed across the lot into the Ryan
yard, where her shrieks conveyed to the
Ryan family the first inkling of what
had taken place. She was assisted into
their house and while members of the
family were applying such emergency
remedies as were at hand others were
hurriedly summoning physicians. Dr.
Avery was the first to arrive and he
was followed quickly by DR.. Bailey.
Mrs. Stott was unconscious by this time
and past aid. The poison is thought to
have been taken around 4:30 o'clock and
death came shortly after $50 o'clock.
Never once did she fully regain con-
sciousness. So far as a superficial ex-
animation would disclose, her mouth was
badly burned and the doctors first
theory that she had taken carbolic acid
was substantiated when bottle bear
ing the label of that deadly toxic was
found near the barn.
Mrs. Stott was around 35 years old
and leaves her husband and five dsugh-
ters. the oldest Of whom is Ia years old
and the youngest but babe. Her par
ants, Mr.. and Mrs. Johnsie Vivian, live
in Graniteville, and she also leaves two
sisters and two brothers. One sister is
Mrs. James Murphy of Graniteville, and
The other lives in New York state Two
brothers, Arthur Vivian and Charles Wv
an, reside in Graniteville. Her maiden
name was Kate Vivian. Her husband is
employed as a quarryman by Boutwell,.

Little Short of Declaration of
Hostilities.

declaration of hostilites, was uttered
to day by Premier Venizelos of Greece

demanding a cessation OF the prosecution
of Greeks in Turkey and a repair of the
damages caused them and their inter-
ests. The expulsion of Greek subjects
