TABLETS PUT WIFE
 IN SLEEP 0F DEATH
Young Insomnia Sufferer Dies as
 Husband Hunts Work

New York, Nov. s.-Mrs. Roy l.. benncr, 20, of 60 West 5lst street. a bride of month. died in Bellevue hospital yesterday afternoon of an overdose of veronal, taken to induce sleep. Her husband. 26. is alone in the apartment they had fitted up with such brave hopes.
 The couple were married in Chi- cago after a courtship of year. He was a 'bookkeeper and she a. tele- phone operator in Chicago business house. They decided the city of op- portunity was New York and came here with savings enough to live comfortably several months.
 Roy began search for job. He found none, but this bothered them little; they were too happy and still had plenty of money. Then attacks or a nervous trouble which produced insomnia recurred to the young wife. The New York atmosphere seemed to intensity them. After many sleep- less nights veronal was advised by physician. Twelve ten-grain tablets were obtained, Tuesday night one had no effect Her husband said he left the apartment Wednesday to hunt position, telling his wife not to be discouraged by the failure of the tablet, but to take only one more.
 When he returned Wednesday eve- ming his wife was sleeping, he thought. Late that night she seemed feverish and he tried in vain to waken her. Alarmed, he called a physician, who had the young wom- an taken in an ambulance to Belle vue.
 There 1t was at first believed she would recover, although she remained In coma, but yesterday she died with opt recovering consciousness. The empty vial was found later, showing she had probably taken all the re- tables at once.

 Need Houses For Workers.
 The principal purpose in MT. Neff's appearance before the Chamber, was to ask the cooperation of that body in providing for housing of the new workmen.
 In times of past business booms, the town has found it difficult to ade- auately provide lodgings for the ex> traordinary influx of factory opera lives. Several local boarding houses did thriving business as did restaur- ants while there was much, activity in building lines. gs
 Both the factory officials and the Chamber of Commerce feel that, since the complete transfer will not be effected for few months, much can be done in the meantime to place the town in readiness for the recep- ton of many additional residents. @After a discussion as to the best methods of handling the situation, it was decided that a committee of the Chamber be appointed to confer with heads of the industry and devise ways and means of providing for the new workmen. President McKernan of the Chamber was authorized to name the committee and he selected as chairman, c. H. Newton. w. Cook and A. A. McCloud were selected to serve with MT. Newton and as presi- dent of the organization. MT. McKer- nan will be a member of the con- mittee.
 Meetings will be called regularly, the first to be held in the course of a few days.

|DISHGURED HEAD
 IS FOUND IN WOODS
Staten Island Discovery Shows
 Up New Murder

New York, Nov. 3.--The head of a
 man apparently about 70 years old was found yesterday in a patch of woods on Staten Island, near Travis vile.
 The eyes had been gouged out, the teeth extracted, and white cross had been chalked on & tree at the spot where the head was discovered.
 From the condition of the skull, tectives thought death had occurred a month ago. There were scars on the bearded chin and a hole in the top of the head evidently made by a bullet.
 The spot where the head was found was about 500 yards away from a thoroughfare.
 The discovery of the head records the fourth dismembered body found in the greater city within the space of little more than a month Detec- tives were impressed by the fact that in two cases parts of bodies found were wrapped in oil cloth. which re- called the unsolved Guldensupp mur- der of 25 years ago and the Long Island mystery of 1921 when the torso of an unidentified woman, bound in oil cloth was discovered in a pool of rain water near Jamaica, N. Y.
 The police are still without an iden- tification of the headless body of a man found floating in the East river in the latter part of September.
 On October l, g. mans head wrap ned in an Italian newsnanar wos found in the woods near the Bronx Geological gardens. A few days later the torso was found wrapped in oil cloth about a third of mile from where the head was found. On the 10th of October the left arm and the left leg were found in vacant lot four miles from the gardens
 Two legs and an arm of & large were found wrapped in news paper and oil clotl1Sin Brooklyn on October g.. No identification has been made.

MENTAL ANGUISH
 DIVORCE GROUNDS
Bay State Supreme Court Makes
 This Ruling

Lynn, Mass, Nov. 3.--The supreme court of Massachusetts decided that mental anguish Is sufficient ground for divorce in this Commonwealth. The finding was made in the action by Mrs Ethel Quinn Curtiss of Shelf field. Berkshire county, and Brooklyn. N. r., from Roy A. Curtiss of New York, son of the late Frank Curtiss. at one time a principal owner of the Third Avenue elevated railroad.
 The decree was granted on the grounds of cruel and abusive treat ment, the supreme court overruling the decision of Judge William Cush- ing Waitt of the superior court. who dismissed the libel on October 26. 1921.
 Judge Waitt ruled that the facts found by him did not constitute cruel and abusive treatment within the meaning of the term. as used in the revised laws. and upon these facts he was not authorized to enter a de- cree for divorce.
 Judge Waitt, however, said that 1t is impossible to avoid inferring that a cause for divorce does exist, which should involve uncomfortable consequences for the husband and for the other woman at the hands of the criminal law He reviewed circumstances in the Curtiss home, as testified to by Mrs. Curtiss and members of her household.
 The full decree of the supreme court, everything Judge Waitt. is eX- pected to be filed today with the clerk of the Berkshire County court.
 Miss Ethel Quinn was prominent society woman in Brooklyn, N. r., at the time of her marriage to Curtiss. June 5. 1907. The elder Curtiss had a country estate at Sheffield. and at one time was a. power in the Mahaiwe National bank, at Great Harrington. He was elected representative to the House of Boston, from the Great Bar rington- Sheffield district.
 At the time the libel was brought | by Mrs. Curtiss. she caused an at tachment for $1Oo,oo0 to be placed | in her husbands property. She sought the custody of their four children.
