The mystery surrounding the death of Mrs. May E. Ingersoll at No. 207 C street northwest early yesterday morning, as published in yesterday’s Star, was solved by Deputy Coroner Glazebrook, when he made the autopsy late in the afternoon. Arsenical poison was found, and the con- clusion that death was caused thereby, from a self-administered dose, was reached. Frederick Ingersoll, husband of the un- fortunate woman, reached the city from Baltimore yesterday morning, and when he learned of what had happened he has- tened to the morgue, reaching there at the time the autopsy was being performed. His wife’s sudden death had affected him to a marked degree, and, while he declared their domestic life had been happy, with the exception of some little differences, he was certain that she had committed sui- cide. On two previous occasions, he said, she had made such attemp but failed, and the last time she warned him that she would succeed if she ever made another effort. Mrs. Beck, in whose hous was committed, and others in the house, exhibited a feeling of surpri! and almost doubted the truth of what the autopsy showed. In the room there was no evi- dence of poison to be found, and the young woman,they said, had not seemed despond- ent. She did worry considerably, however, over the report that her sister had died. Persons in the house had become very mvch attached to her, and Sunday night, as stated in yesterday's Star, she was up with the members of the household until a late hour. When she asked Mrs. Beck the evening before her death not to call her in the morning, she probably went at once to her room and took the fatal dose. When found her body was cold, and life had eyi- dently been extinct for several hours. Mr. Ingersoll stated that his wife was born in Milwaukee, and he married her in Chicago about nine yeirs ago. When the coroner had given a certificate of death Undertakers Perry & Vinson took charge of the body for the husband. The latter had not decided this morning what disposition he would make of the body. ——__. GIVEN TRANSPORTATION. the suicide Henry R. Crane, Suffering From Dis- ability, Reeeives Aid. A young man named Henry R. Crane, whose home is in Wilmington, Del., was discharged from the Emergency Hospital this morning. He had been in the hospital more thar a week under treatment be- cause of a badly burned arm. The injury was inflicted while he was handling chem- icals at his home in Delaware. Being ithout means, he applied to Sanitary Offi- cer Frank for transportation. He said that when he was burned he went to the Dela- ware Hospital in Wilmington, where he re- mained three weeks, but was discharged before he was cured. From Wilmington, he says, he came to Baltimore and tried sev- eral hospitals, but as he was without funds none of them would admit him, and then he came here, “I went to the Emergency Hospital,” he said to the sanitary officer, treated fine.” Skin from his leg, he said, was grafted on his arm, and while he is not entirely weil, he is able to return home and go to work. He was given a ticket and put on a morn- ing train and sent home. ———— CHARGED WITH FALSIFYING. Serious Accusation Against an Em- ploye of Pension Office. George B. Fleming, a special field exam- iner of the pension office, was arrested here yesterday afternoon on a bench warrant issued from the United States district court of Iowa, charged with falsifying his ac- counts. He was taken before Judge Cole, who released him on bail in the sum of $1,00) to await a hearing Friday next. The accused man was indicted in Iowa recently by a federal grand jury, it being charged that in his August accounts he wrongfully included an item of $20.25 for livery hire. > Agati Destroying Shrubbery. To the Editor of The Evening Star: It is gratifying to see that some persons are courageous enough to denounce the re- moval of the shrubbery from our parks. ‘There is another view to take of the mat- ter, however, and that is, why any une man can have the audacity to go on public property and destroy hundreds, yes. even thousands of dollars’ worth of embellish- ments without any warrant or authority. If he is under bond, it should pay the toss, for some of the plants in the Capitol grounds ¢ame from a long distance, and are said, each of them, to have cost the government several hundred dollars.

Alvey of the Court of Appeals presided over the opening exercises of the law department of the National University, held last evening. There was a large gathering of members of the faculty and students. Judge Alvey, in a few remarks, laid es- pecial stress upon the individual applica- tion of the students to the work before them. He announced that in his lectures on constitutional law he would describe the constitutions of other nations and com- pare them 4 our own. Judge C. Cole delivered an address, Cc. paying attention to the necessity of reforms in the law, and especially the need of ex- pediting triels of cases. This could be reached, he believed, by a more thorough education of both the bench and the bar. Addresses were also made by Eugene Carusi, Jackson H. Ralston, Henry E. Davis, Walier F. Rodgers and Charles C. Tucker, all members of the faculty. The regular course. will begin tonight. a Were Given Other Quarters. “Sleeping” was in reality the charge on which Lewis Brown, James Green, John Grayson and Robert Marshall were ar- rested last evening, but today in the Police Court the information set forth “va- grancy.” “I found these fellows asleep last night in Heat alley,” was all Policeman Hollin- berger, who made the arrest, had to say. Heat alley is in the rear of the Corcoran building, at 15th street and Pennsylvania avenue, and is a Mecca for tramps and “‘vags,” who consider it a luxury in cold weather to sleep over a large number of steam pipes. The defendants failed to give a satisfactory account of themselves and went down for thirty days. ——_—_ Thrown From His Horse. A colored man named Henry Robinson, who lives at No. 1315 15th street northwest, was thrown from his horse on N street northwest between 6th and 7th streets, about 6 o'clock yesterday afternoon. He landed on the concrete pavement on his head, and the shock was so great that he was rendered unconscious. After re- ceiving medical treatment he was removed to his home in the patrol wagon. ——_—-.—__ Sent Down as Vagrants, ; Edward Holland and Clara Taylor, both white, were today sent to the work house house lat> at aercemntr terres by Policeman Harrover, who sions recently by placed. them, uner-axvest om the charge WILLS FOR PROBATE, ‘Three Instruments Filed With Regis- ter McG!
