Both Republicans and Democrats

Woman Note Blame!
Hotel Death Leap on
BIiehted Marriage

A blighted marriage caused a
30-year-old woman to leap to her
death from the seventh floor Of the
Ambassador Hotel, letters in the
hands of police revealed today.
The woman, Miss Frances Ger
son, Of Cincinnati, jumped from
a window on the K street side OF
the hotel at Fourteenth and K
streets NV, about 2 am. yester-
day. The body struck cornice
of the High Hat cocktail lounge and
landed near the street curbing.
Deputy Coroner Richard M. Rosen-
berg issued a certificate of suicide.
Police said Miss Gerson registered
at the hotel shortly after midnight
and sat down at the desk of her
room to write an eigh-page letter
detailing her reason for wanting
to die. The letter was dated 12:40
am. They said Miss Gerson told
this story:
In 1896 she married a man identi-
fed as Ray L. Medler OF the TOO
block North Wayne street, Arlington,
and lived with him about six years
before learning he had dissolved a
former marriage with a Mexican di-
vorce. That divorce was not legal.
Although she still loved her hus-
band, Miss. Gerson divorced him
and married another man in Gin
cinnati about two years ago. Mean
while, her first husband wrote to
her, saying he still loved her and
asking her to join him.
Miss Gerson came to Washington
and since June % had roomed at
1884 Fessenden street NV, while
working as a secretary for novelty
firm.
She met her former husband Sat-
urday night and learned that he
had given up the idea of recon-
ciliation.
