DOUBLE SUICIDE
STILL A MYSTERY
Man Hides Contents OF
Letter Left by Mother
and Sister.

Mystery surrounding the suicide OF
Mrs. Louise Goeller and her daughter
Elsie, found asphyxisted yesterday
morning in their rooms at 1854 west
S.xty-ffth Street, deepened yesterday
afternoon when Albert Goeller an
ished reading a letter left for HIM by
his mother and sister.
Before the letter had been turned
over to him he had volunteered to
make public it's contents. He sat IN
an open window of the Municipal
Building, smoking a cigarette and
clicking his heels against a radiator
beneath the sill while he read the
closely written pages. As he crammed
the manuscript into his pocket he sud
denly altered his determination to re-
veal its contents. and strolled leisure
ly out of the building with the casual
comment:
Gentlemen, the whole thing is still
as much of a mystery TO me as ever"
No Ill-Feeling, He Insists.
Goeller stoutly denied that there
had been any ill-feeiing between him
self and his mother and sister. Yet
he said he had not seen either Of them
for several years. and his wife, living
in Hackcnsack. \. j.. said that the
elder Mrs. Cooler had strenuously OBJ
jected to he on's marriage.
Those who lew Mrs. Goeller in the
West Sixty-ff i Street lodging house
said she and her daughter had fallen
heirs 10 a comfortable income at TIL:
death of Albert Goeller. sr. who COM
mitted suicide in his Hackensack
home seven years ago, and that they
had spent much OF their time in recent
years touring Europe and America.
When Mrs. Goeller went 70 live ct
the lodging house, five weeks ago, il
was said, she asser,~d that she was
anxious none Of her money should be
left to a certain young man." and
that for this reason she and her daugh-
ter had spent most of Mr.. Goeller
sr.'s, fortune in travel. Only 81 in
cash was found among the effects of
the two women by the police. There
were no bankbooks. A long envelope
from the New York Life Insurance
Company, believed to contain 4
policy she carried with that company,
arrived at Mrs. Coolers room by mail
after her death.
Mrs. Goellcr and Miss Elsie nado
careful preparations for death. They
hacked all their clothing-fashionab
cut garments of the best material-in
their trunks. and then fastened tw)
new gas tubes over their mouths.
Young Goeller, who seemed no more
perturbed when he reached the scene
of the suicide than he was later as he
read the letter left by the mother and
sister, did not claim the clothing. Dis
ccvery of the suicide was made by
Mrs. Helen Amos, housekeeper of the
lodging house.
Mr.. Goeller, ST., was the editor of
German newspaper in Hackensack.
Young Goeller is treasurer Of the Coe'
Mortimer Company. at 81 Chambers
Street.
