ton" She was assigned to a room on
The third floor. A belboy brougn {
her light meal at about 1880 O'Clock.
She was not seen alive again.

that the woman's death was accidental.
About 12:45 o'clock this morning the
occupant of room on the second floor
noticed water leaking through the cell
ing and notified the clerk. Hotel EN-
pl0yes went TO the third floor and saw

lieve that death was accidental, and
that it was due To drowning"
1t was after 1870 o'clock this morn
ing. and after ne had talked with Mr..
Crowninshield on the telephone that
Dr. Magrath made public the woman's

on the hot water. When she stepped
into the tub she fell on her face, for
some unexplained reason, and before
she could cry for help she was
drowned.
