ENDED HER LEE WITH BULLET

The funeral of Mrs. Martha Welch
took place at 130 o'clock from her late
fSme, near Colt Station, Md, on Sun
dey afternoon, and was largely attend
ed. The interment was made in the
Townsend M. E. Cemetery.
While respondent on Friday of last
week, Mrs. Welch, who was about %
years of age, and while her husband,
Michael WEIGH, was resting on bed
upstairs, wrote two notes telling of her
intention to commit suicide and leaving
the notes laying on stand in the sit
ting room, secured rifle which her
husband used for hunting purposes. and
while lying on couch in the parlor
sent bullet through her breast, which
resulted in her death few moments
later.
Her nine-year- old daughter. who soon
realized that her mother had shot her
self, hurried upstairs to inform her
father who quickly rushed to a neigh
boris home to tell of the shooting and to
get them to return with him to render
any aid that might be possible under
the circumstances. When a physician
arrived soon afterward, life was found
to be extinct, the woman having lived
but few minutes after the shooting.
An investigation by the authorities re-
vealed that the despondent woman had
deliberately planned to end her life,
after having been in melancholy state
of mind for several weeks. 1t was moi
thought that her condition was such as
to warrant any fear on the part of hei
relatives and friends of her taking hei
own life. Mrs. Welch was the young
est daughter of Mrs. Mary Lingo, OF
New Castle.
