MISS MARY CLARKE TOOK LIFE
ON JERSEY COAST, POLICE SAY
State Investigators Claim Womans Diary
Reveals Plan for Suicide When
Fortune Was Spent.

According to the state police. Miss
Clarke many years ago was teacher
and later a nurse. Her family was
of extremely moderate circumstances.
and as a young girl she many times
yearned for the things which only
the wealthy could afford. Then sud
denly, Lady Luck came knocking at
the door. brother. long absent from
home and almost forgotten, struck
gold in California and not many
months passed before the brother re-
turned to his home. Less than a
decade ago the brother died, and
part of the estate was left to Miss
Clarke
Fortune had come to her over
night. and with yearning to travel
to enjoy the life which she had seen
others lead from afar. Miss Clarke
made a secret vow to herself to live
life of luxury until her fortune
was gone, and then, when that for
tune was finished, her life would
he ended. a life that would experience
for a few brief years at least the
thrills that gold can buy.
Diary Tells Secret.
For in diary. written in small
note book and found at the bottom
of a much ,ha ndled trunk. the wom-
ans determination to live n life of
luxury and then commit suicide when
she had been relieved of life's where
withal, was made matter of record.
And in her plans to end a life that
had been lived on foreign shores
as well as at home Miss Clarke had
carefully discarded all traces Of her
Identity. State troopers, Ii is said,
talked at length with a woman who
conversed with Miss Clarke on the
train which carried her from Cam
den to Cape May. The report Of
those State troopers who investigated
will reveal that Miss Clarke declared
that she was melancholy and that
she had not long to live.
According to members of the Coast
Guard stationed at Cape May. the
body Of the woman was found at
point on the beach midway be-
tween high and low tides, and 1t
is declared by the authorities that
she committed suicide by walking out
into the surf at high tide to a depth
of possibly 3 feet and then, exhausted
and faint at heart, laid down to die
while sixty-mile gale with rain
and sieet, spent its force over her
ia st ebbing life.

WILDWOOD. n. j., March 9.-The
hand of fate that sways the destinies
of mankind dealt harshly with Miss
Mary Clarke. middle-aged Pittsburgh
and Washington woman. who was
found frozen to death after tenn
pestuous surf had hurled itself over
her body on the beach at Cape May.
y. j., on January 10. Miss Clarke
ended her life after fortune of many
thousan nds of dollars had dwindled to
two $40 bills.
State Troopers Illingsworth and
Jesch of the New Jersey State Con
stabuIary. after an investigation GOV.
ering several weeks and hundreds of
miles. will. in their report to Judge
Henry b. Ware, presiding at the his
toric Cape May courthouse. today
reveal a tale rivaling Aladdin and the
Arabian Nights.
Judge Ware several weeks ago
ordered rigid investigation to be
made after William u. Thompson, a
coroner of small village adjacent to
Cape May, had declared that the Pitts
burgh woman was murdered.
Planned Years Ago.
The report. first Of all, will reveal
that Miss Clarke ended her own life.
That the act was premeditated and
that the sole reason for her action
was planned years ago when suddenly
the woman changed her mode of liv-
ing from one burdened with the hard.
ships OF poverty to a woman upon
whom the great god Gold had looked
with favor.
Despite the rumOrs at first preva-
lent that Miss Clarke was member
of IA socially prominent and wealthy
family Of Pittsburgh. a letter received
by Coroner Thompson several weeks
ago from Joseph r. Fisher Of Pitts
burgh gave the avthorities the first
inkling of the true status of the
case.
Fisher advised Coroner Thompson
that he had been appointed executor
of the estate and that after a thor
ough investigation had found that
Miss Clarke's estate was twenty dol
lars in cash. Fisher asked that a
portion of the money forwarded by
him to Thompson for expenses in
cident to the funeral of the woma II
be refunded. But the corner, who
still stuck to the theory that the
woman was murdered. has so far re-
fused to grant the request Of Fish
er, cousin of the dead woman and
himself in limited circumstance.
