PARTNER
Love TANGLE
Voluntarily Visits Police and
Her Story Strengthens
Theory Of Suicide.

BOSTON. July A.-New light has been
thrown on the death Of DR.. Celia p.
Adams by the voluntary visit to police
headquarters Of DR.. Mary A. Campbell.
osteopathic partner of DR.. Adams. who
had been missing since the death of DR..
Adams and the shooting OF her friend,
DR.. w. e. Harris. by her fiance, DR..
Eldridse d. Atwood. DR.. Campbell told
the police her partner was really deeply
In love with DR.. Atwood.
After DR.. Campbell left police head
quarters. Captain Armstrong, who II in
charge Of the investigation. said: "Dr.
Campbelrs Views coincide with those Of
the family"
The companionship Of Or. Adams and
Dr. Atwood was distastefui to members
OF DR.. Adams family. They felt the
difference In their ages was bar to
marriage. Dr. Adams was thirty-two
and DR.. Atwood 10 twenty-three. with
parents. former Instructors. partner.
and friends united in opposition to her
love affair. DR.. Adams brooded. She
was extremely nervous. Hard work
contributed to her state Of mind. and
these were all contributory causes to
the condition Of mind that may have
led her to commit suicide.
The discovery OF a previous love affair
Of DR.. Adams tends to confirm the now
accepted theory Of suicide for love. DR..
Adams was engaged to a Dr.. Shedd in
Seattle several years aGo. He fell from
building and was killed.
Meanwhile the police are continuing
their search for the vender Of the fatal
potion.
DR.. Harris passed q comfortable and
encouraging day. according to reports
from the city hospital.
DR.. Atwood. who 10 held on a charge
Of assault with intent to kill. has made
no formal statement since his alleged
story to the police at the time of his
arrest that he shot DR.. Harris because
Of the latter's relations with DR.. Adams.
