BICHLORIDE VICTIM is DEAD.
Makes Frantic Plea For IAfe As Death
Draws Near.

Winchester, Va, Feb. Just a
week from the time she was brought
! TO the hospital here, from her home In
RappahannoCl1' County, suffering from
the effects of having taken 20 1-2
grains of bichloride of mercury poison,
Miss Nirgie Partlow is dead The girl
had taken the poison twenty-four
hours before she entered Memorial
Hospital. 1t Is believed that IL eff
fective measures had been adopted al
the outset, her life might have been
saved.
Miss Partlow was under the care
Of DR.. w. p. Mcclure. Her physi-
clan took the greatest interest In her
case and employed every means pos
sihie o. save the young girls. On
Wednesday Miss Partlow was told
that she was going to die. The au-
thorities of Rappahannock County
wanted her dying statement. and it
was necessary that she be told. She
burst into tears and begged that her
life be saved.
The only reason the girl gave for
having taken the bichloride tablets.
which were given to her by a male
relative. was that her life was I'M
happy and that she wanted to end It.,
Her ante-mortem statement was taken
by Attorney II Gray Williams, OF this
city, at the request Of Common
wealth's Attorney II. G. Moffett, OF
Rappahannock County.
