Former Augusta
Girl Suicide
Took Poison First

Information In the Boston news
napers. Monday morning, TO the ef-
feet that the body of q woman found
In the Connecticut river. near Crom-
we'll. Conn, Friday. had been tdenti-
fed as that of Mrs. Evelyn Bradeen,
%, wife of Philip Bradeen or Cam
bridge, Mass, recalls to local ac-
ouaintances that Mrs. Bradeen Is the
former Mrs. Lloyd Shapleigh or TINS
city. She lived here about two years
ago and conducted a gift shop az
the Webster house on state street.
The body was identified by her SIS
fer. Mrs. Anne Nye of Holyoke, Mass.
II is understood that Mrs. Bradeen
disappeared from Holyoke several
weeks ago, after leaving a note at
Smiths Ferry, saying that she mad
committed suicide because OF des-
pondency over i'll heath.
Mrs. Bradeen had been living at
Holyoke with her sister for aDoul a
year, and during that time, accord
ing to Mrs. Nye, had attempted 10
take her life on three occasions. MRS.
Nye communicated with the ponce
here when the body was found. stat
ing that she believed the description
of the woman and her wearing ap-
parel was that OF her sister. The
body was taken to Holyoke tonight
for burial.
Coroner L. A. Smith. who had in
tended making q chemical analysis
of the contents of the stomach OF
Mrs. Bradeen to determine the cause
of death, stated tonight that Mrs.
Bradeen had taken poison before
jumping into the river and that 1t
was unnecessary for him to make
further investigation.
. Following the discovery OF the
body Saturday the police were con-
fronted with the strong belief, al
most a certainty. that Mrs. Bradeen
was a victim Of murder. Great
strength was found In this theory
because of the lack Of water in the
lungs, leading the authorities to be-
lieve that death had not been by
drowning, accidental or Intentional.
With the discovery she had taken
poison, before jumping into the riv-
er this puzzle was solved.

The question Of what to do with the
backward child, the perplexing problem
of educators since schools began,
seems almost to be answered at last
by the results of an experiment made
in q Boston public school.
During pleasant weather.. backward
pupils from all grades in the school
carry on their studies in an outdoor
class room specially constructed for
this purpose in one corner Of the
school yard.
Sunshine and fresh air, together with
hot Horlick's Matted Milk served dur
ing recess, morning and afternoon,
have worked wonders.
The pupils are brighter and more at
tentive. They are gaining weight,
averaging an increase of three pounds
the first month. Their eyes and COM
plexions are noticeably clearer. And
they are more ambitious to learn.
