FOUND DEAD IN HER CHAIR

Orlando, Jan. 15.-The friends OF
Mrs. Francis Drake were shocked and
grieved to find her dead body In o
rocking chair In her bed room yester-
day morning, death having come
sometime Saturday night.
Mrs. Drake usually spends her win
ters at the fremont Hotel, but when
she arrived Friday she took rooms at
Mrs. E. F. Sperry's on East Pine st.
She did not go to her supper on
Friday night, but nothing was thought
of this, as she had stated she seldom
ate supper, Sunday morning when the
girl went to her room to arrange 1t,
Mrs. Drake was found in her chair,
dead. She evidently had begun a
toilet to go to supper, for her hair
was freshly arranged, but she wore
her dressing gown, and leaned back
in her chair as If suddenly taken i'll.
Her face however indicated that
death was instantaneous, and pain
less. Rigor Mortis had taken place
when Mrs. Drake was found, but DR..
]. s. McEwan was ummoned at once,
and said that death was due to heart
trouble and had taken place several
hours before she was found, and cor
oners inquest was unnecessary.
