Suicide Explanation
OF Models Deaf h
Secuted by Mother
Boston Girl Planned To Be
Married; Never Heard of
Larsen, Says Woman Who
Cets Here From Jamaica

Mrs. Sara Herrick. mother of Pau
line Virginia Clark, the young model
Of Boston who died Of poison given to
her by Otto Haldor Larsen, student
Of the Massachusetts, institute of Tech
nology, ten days ago, arrived here yes
tcrday from Kingston, Jamaica, on the
United Fruit Line steamship Metapan.
She was in an extremely nervous
condition when the vessel docked, a
condition brought about through lack
of sleep during the trip from Jamaica
and to the shock caused by the cable
message announcing her daughters
death.
Mrs Herrick, who is employed as
housckeeper of the Titchheld Hotel at
Kingston, did not know that her
daughter had committed suicide until
so advised by reporters who boarded
the vessel at Quarantine. She refused
to believe this version of her daugh
ters death and announced that,
through counsel she would seek to
disprove the assertions of the police
of Boston.
at is contrary to the facts concern
ing my daughters life to say that she
committed suicide said the mother.
81 received cable message announc-
ing her death and | took this steamer,
which was the first available one out
OF Kingston. The day before the cable
reached me I had answered a recent
letter written to me by my daughter.
she wrote in her usually cheerful style
and conGGed to me that she had be-
come engaged to be married. She said
she WAS exceedingly nappy and was
l., III !,
much icy and that she wanted me to
live with her when my work at the
hotel was ended.
My daughters mode Of life was Of
the finest. She was bright and
cheerful girl and had everything to
live Tor. 1t is incredible that she
should END her life"
Mrs. Herrick said that in her cor
respondence the daughter never men
toned the name of Larsen, nor had
the mother ever heard of him, she said.

WASHINGTON. March "a (By the
Associated Press).-A new develop
ment in radio by which music, news,
lectures and other forms of speech can
be received by attaching the usual re-
ceiying instrument to the electric lamp
and eliminating the antenna as well
as relieving the congestion Of wireless
broadcasting in the air, was announced
to-day by Major General Squier, its
inventor and chief signal corps officer
of the army.
The first public demonstration of
the new wired wireless" was held in
the Signal Corps headquarters to-day.
The whole operation of installing the
device for receiving consisted merely
of removing a bulb from a lamp on
General Squier's desk, inserting the
receiving plug in the same manner as
the electric fans, vacuum cleaners and
tiat-irons have been attached to the
lighting circuits. The broadcasting
station, 1t was explained, was connect
ed to the lighting circuit through a
lamp receiver at another point.
