VALDEZ WOMAN DEAD, SUICIDE
 AGREEMENT

Seattle, Wash, May 5. - Weary of life that had been made hard by financial reYerses, MT. and Mrs. J. A. Wilkie, who came here two months ago from Valdez, decided last night to let death end their troubles.
 With their suicide pact made, they turned on the gas in tha sleeping room of their apartments, and then, in each others arms, lay down on the bed to await the great adventure.
 When occupants of adjoining rooms smelled gas this morning, they investigated. The door of the Wilkie apartments was locked. It was broken down.
 Mrs. Wilkie was found dead. Her husband was unconscious. At the hospital to which he was remoV- cd, it was reported this afternoon that he was dying.
 Further than that they came here in February from Valdez, no facts in the life of either of them are known.
