MORPHINE PROVES FATAL
TO CAPTAINS WIFE
Mrs. Frank Reynolds Recently Had
Recovered From an Attack
of Influenza.

A hypodermic Injection Of morphine
proved fatal to Mrs. Ethel Reynolds,
war worker and wife of Capt. Frank

She died at Emergency Hospital be-
fore midnight.
Mrs. Reynolds first husband was a
brother of Capt. Reynolds. He was
killed in action in France, and. it is
stated, the widow became anxious to
go to France as a nurse. She studied
to be a nurse, working in a hospital
in Boston before coming to this city.
When she concluded she would be I'M
able to get, to France she decided to
engage in other war work.
Accepting a position as clerk in the
Office of the quartermaster depart
ment, Mrs. Reynolds was able to pay
week end visits to her husband at
Camp Lee. She suffered an attack of
influenza, recovered and left the hos
pital the latter part of last week.
Last night occupants of the house
feared something wrong and sent for
the police. The door leading to Mrs.
Reynolds room was forced open and
the unconscious form of the woman
found.
