The newspapers got stories in
which she was pictured as calling
him a money-seeker and cad and he
was accusing her of intimacies with
Battling Nelson, the pTizefghter.
The longest period of rest the girl
enjoyed was after the count was
gone and forgotten. For over a year
she was allowed peace. Then she
married Joseph Howard, vaudeville
actor, a few weeks ago, and the pa
pers raked up all the old scandal
Things were quiet with the How
ards until yesterday, when ITma took
a notion to follow her husband into
Omaha, where he was playing. What
happened has not been discovered by
the Omaha newspapers, but they
quarreled. The name of the woman
who was playing opposite Howard
was mentioned and the bride of a few
weeks left the theater sobbing.
She hurried to her room in a near
by hotel and killed herself with a
small revolver. 1t is believed that
she could not endure the publicity
she expected if the trouble with her
husband was made public.

WAS CHICAGO GIRL HOUNDED
TO DEATH-BY NEWSPAPERS?
The Chicago papers printed their
last story about Irma Kilgahen today.
The girl who has been bounded by
reporters for five years, whose every
important action and each little fam
lily trouble has been played to the
limit" by the papers, killed herself
last night in Omaha
The suicide came just when the
newspapers of Omaha scented a lit
tie scandal because Irma had slipped
into the city Unexpectedly and sur
prised her husband, Joe Howard, &C
tor and song writer.
Her life and death is a fair sam
pie of what the scandal-grubbing
newspapers can do when they de-
eide to make a person or family
news"
In the belief that the public would
like to read of the doings of an eT-
ratio young lady with money and
good looks, the papers played so
heavily on her dOings that the family
house at 1880 S. Michigan av. was
almost constantly haunted by neTVy
newspaper reporters.
Miss Kilgallen, as she was always
known to the papers, made an awful
mistake in marrying a count who
had habit of getting into scrapes
in which the police often figured.
He was rather a cheap specimen of
Belgian nobility, and when Irma cast
him off penniless he talked readily to
the press of the city and her status
with the feature-seeking papers was
fixed.
The divorce was replete with sto-
Ties. How the Count Jacques Won
MOurik de Beaufort had thrown his
young heiress-wife over the banister
of the KilgaIlen home; how they tried
to enter society here; how the count
was whipped by the girls father; all
was sensationa1ly told by the Chica-

quaintance with them in the Boston

The girls were arrested in the loop
with two fellows. They told Judge Uh-

In explaining how they came to be
in the Delaware cafe they declared
that Busch, the owner, had firted
with them in the Boston, Store and
had invited them to come out to his
place.
