The Waterbury Democrat., 1933-12-19

But instead she found the room full of policemen and on the floor the body of Marie,sa small pearl handled revolver beside it. It was fully minute before Mrs Brady regained her power of speech.
 ''The poor sweet thing!" she muttered, almost like a prayer. Who could have done it?" One of the group stepped forward.
 You're Mrs Brady? I'm De-. tectiye Sergeant Hopper" he said. wed like you to tell us something about Miss Conway if you can. The manager said you take care of her apartment and have done other work for her. We know she was an actress who had played a few small parts, and that she was from the West, but can you tell us the names of any of her friends?"
 Well, there's Miss Nelson and Miss Harding that live down the hall as were in and out a lot. She didn't go in for having lot of people about all the time like some of these others that every morn- ing you find glasses and bottles air cigarette stubs all over creation to clean up after"
 And who else came to see her? Any men that you know off"
 'No sir. She was quiet like I said and wasn't given much to going out with men,"
 Don't you know of any men who came to see her?"
 NOBODY BUT MIR HARRISON WHO LIVES ACROSS THE HALL
 "No sir, nobody by MT Harrison as live across the hall. They being neighbors were friendly like and used to go out to the pictures and such together."l
 Whats this Harrison's full name? What does he do?
 MT Arthur Harrison, sir, and he works in Wall Street in q brokers office. A nice young man he is too, choice to take care of his rooms, sir, he's. that neat"
 Hopper turned to the other, Joe you get hold of this Harrison and see what he has to say. Bert you question Miss Nelson sand Miss Harding. It's an out and out sui eide without a doubt-her finger prints on the gun plain enough and powder marks on her forehead. Bring them all here at noon for the inquest"
 Tt just don't seem possible that that poor lamb could up and shoot herself, that'h what it don't" Mrs Brady said sorrowfully.
 Looks like she did though" the detective replied. "You never can tell. Thanks for your. help, Mrs Brady. Will you please come back at noon for the inquest?"
 At noon Mrs Brady found Miss Nelson, Miss Harding, and MT Harrison also at the inquest. Mr Harrison look so shaken by it all that she wishede she could go make him a cup of good strong tea to perk him up. No one had heard the shot and no one had any idea why Miss Conway should want to take her life. Her rent was paid in advance and her check than a thousand dollars. Her girl friends admitted that she was moody at times and that, she kept pretty much to herself. Harrison was questioned more than the oth- CTS. He and Miss Conway had been good friends, nothing more, for almost a year. He had last seen her two evenings before when they went to g. play together.
 They had not been in love.
 Nothing of the kind. As a mat ter of fact he was engaged to marry the daughter of a partner in the firm he worked for. No, Miss Conway had never said any thing to him about another man. She was a rather strange, moody girl, though, and had been some- what discouraged because she had not been able to find work recent ly. Yes, he had seen the revolver before. The girl had told him she kept it because she was afraid of burglars.
 The jury returned verdict of suicides
 Mrs Brady went on about her work, depending more on habit than on any heart for the task.
