turn shortly before IL o'clock. Mrs.

when the latter left her to do some
shopping. What caused the girl to
take her life is unknown 10 Mrs.
Jackson. She had been cheerful for
the last three days.
Chief of Police Arthur j. Boyle, of
South Orange Township, and PATROL
man Jacob r. Helf, who investigated
the case, found in the girls boudoir
several pictures of young men. The
chief is inclined to believe that
despondency, caused by the fact that
the girl was not permitted to leave
the jackson home, led her to end her
life.
The revolver with which the girl
killed herself was the property of
Mr.. Jackson. and was taken from a
bureau drawer in his room.
The girl has an aunt, Mrs. Clara
M. Recketson, who lives at 43 Nelson

The body was viewed by DIR. M.
