i & STUDENT ENDS LIFE AFTER GIRL'S DEATH Larsen Before Taking Poison Writes Full Description of Miss Clark’s Suicide. By the Associated Press. ‘BOSTON, March 20.—The body of or Larsen, Norwegian stu- husetts* Institute of who. ended his life ves- wallowing the poison left Virginia Clark, divorcee, smmitted suicide two days When she before, in a morgue nere today awailing opsy. Medical Examiner | Magrath had anticipated this formal- fty Ly saying that suicide was ob- vious. In the case of Miss Clark also the same finding was announced. Whether there was a pact between them, however, was still in doubt. In several letters by Larsen, found on his body when it was aiscovered in the Fenway behind the Museum of nesArts yesterday, were statements at he prepared the poison originally for the woman of whom he was en- amoured. 1d took the Vial containing what left after llen dead among her su after Miss Clark’s death it} and 1 on his proc- | ained in reference s dig om the party and his subsequent hiding.

Two letters. signed by Larsen, as- gerting that Miss Clark had tong in- tended to commit suicide and that Larsen had supplied her with poison, Were received by a Boston newspaper and Medical Examiner Magrath sev- eral hours after_his body was found. In the letter to the medical examiner | Larsen said that Miss Clark requested him several weeks ago lo procure some poison for her in order that &he might take her own life. “She had long before decided on this course.” he said she told him. “I agreed to do this,” the lefter con- tinued. “extracting from her the promise tiat she would not use it until her mother came home. She Eave me her promise and 1 prepared for her a solution of strong poison.” The_letter related how met Miss Clark six weeks ago and they had become intimate friends. It said that Miss Clark told him of her excessive depression and of various incidents in her life. “I wondered how she resisted so Jong the temptation that death really is.” the letter added. Feared Girl Would Break Word. The letter then described how he suspected that Miss Clark was going to break her word and take the property it me poison among her guests on Wednes- day night, and, although she again promised to defer her act, she sud- denly stood up and drank the fatal poison. T alled a doctor and attempted to assist her,” the letter continued. “When I saw that she was dead. 1 1ot because 1 would not give myself up to be grilled by non-understand- ing police. 1 took the remainder of the poison with me.

Pictures Girl's Death. “What happened Wednesday after- noon and night 1 will shortly de- seribe: 1 called Miss Clark on the phone about 6 o'clock, she asking me to join her and her friends as soon as I could. I arrived at her apartment at about 7 o'clock, where I met two gentle- men, Mr. and Mr. . neither of whom I had met before. Present also was Miss Clark’s lady friend from Worcester. The two gentlemen left shortly after my arrival to procure a pint of whisky, with which they soon reappeared. At 10 o'clock, Mr. —— went to the auto show and came back about 11:30. Shortly before that Miss Clark had telephoned Mr. who came to the apartment shortly ter. 1. this time music had been ed.

Miss Clark, however, per- sonally made up some sandwiches and partook herse)f in the meal. round 1:30 Mr. reclined on @ couch. Mr. —— was conversing with Miss Clark and I with the lady from Worcester. Found Girl Dying in Chair. “I had a suspicion that Miss Clark had told her friend about theypoison and also that she contemplated to break her promise. I took the phial, but Miss Clark saw it and tried to re- gain it. I gave it willingly back to her after having made her affirm her promise not to use it until after her mother came bac Few minutes later, while I was in the hall 1 heard Mr. cry out for me. Rushing into the parlor I found Miss Clark dying in a chair. 1 tried to make her throw up the poison. but meither mine nor Mr. efforts succeeded. It was then I, knowing the effects of the poison, notified by telephone physicians and then left the apart- ment, unnecessary to say. in order to avoid questioning by non-understand- ing policeman. I preferred to wait until my testimony would be of value; then give it and take the rest of the poison, as I intended to do already before I had the privilege of The parties in Miss Clark’'s apa ment, the letter said, were not wild revels, but were only for the purpose of killing the moroseness of her life. Tn his letter th the editor of a Bos- ton paper, condemning the printing of stories of scandal, he advised that the editor also take poison, “when your inferiority becomes too conscious in your mind, if you have one.’ It was Larsen's first love affair, friends say. He came to America in 1918 as one of ten students sent to America by the Norwegian govern- Tient to study American engineering emethods. Until last January he knew no girls, and applied himself dili- gently to hix studies. Then he met Miss Clark and their attachment grew Eteadily Quarréls between the voung woman and rich friends over Larsen's popularity resulted, Lar- sen’s friends declared, and when she was driven to choose between Larsen and love and rich friends and luxury, she chose Larsen. Asked Chemist for Poison. At the start of his letter to the medical examiner, Larsen said: “In order that the disgraceful com- ment of certain Boston newspapers upon the death of Miss Clark may be given_a chance to come to comple- tion, I take the liberty in this way to tell what I know about the trag- edy.” A portion of the letter follows: “Miss Clark was not a ‘society Pbelle’ of the ple re-seeking type. Her charming parties were given to kill the moroseness her life had pr cipitated in_her. Defiant of societ. too strong to ask for help or pathy, she had long ago decided upon how the end should be when her many devoted friends no longer could SPECIAL NOTICES. meeting Miss Clarke, whom I truly estimate to be one of the world's finest women."” The letter closed with these words: “I have never quarreled with my friend, Mr. .. I knew him able and myself unable to marry Miss Clark, and therefore never knowingly appeared to be his rival. Anxious to Stop Seandal “Sir—1 wish it would be possible to stop the scandalmongery of the newspapers.” In the letter to the editor of a newspaper Larsen said: oston “Your insatiable desire for dals will cause you incessant grief whenever you meet discreet people. Let me advise you to use—(naming a well-known poison)—when vour inferiority becomes too conscious in your mind (if you have ‘one). Take my advice. Mr. iditors’! Discharge th» man or men_ that wrote about the latest ‘Back Bay scandal'. Neithér to you nor to the public can they give anything but an after-dinner digest- ing-agent. And for that purpose—(the aforementioned poison)—is better and sweeter than the venom of your col- umns.” Letter Sent to Wreng Paper. ‘The letter to the ‘newspaper was addressed in the body of the letter to “The Bosten Traveler's editor.” In a statement making public Medical Examiner Magrath said “The original of this letter was enclosed in an envelope addressed to “The Boston Herald, Boston’. From my inquiry into the matter it is obvious that the writter did not have in mind the Boston Herald nor the Boston Traveler. In the Jetter to the medical ex- aminer Larsen referred to the Boston Telegram’s ill-written comment. SPECIAL NOTICES.

By the Associated Press. AHMEDABAD, British India, March sked by the magistrate on Sat< prior to being sentenced to six years' imprisonment, whether he pleaded guilty to all the charges made against him by the advocate general, Mohandas K. Gandhi, the non-co-operationist leader, replicd in the affirmative. The advocate general pointed out that the articles of Gandhi printed in Yoyng India formed merely a part of the campaign to spread disaffec- tion openly, to systematically render | government Impossible and to bring about sits overthrow. Jt was true that the articles insisted on non- violence, hut he asked what was the lue of this “if you incessantly teach disaffection agaiust the government and openly seck to instigate others to_overthr Thereupon, Gandhi made a long statement, in which he admitted that t ing disaffectio} against the existing system of government had become almost a passion with him. He declared he took all the blame for the disorders in Madras, Bombay and Chauri Chaura; but he added that if he were liberated he would keep up his work. Non-violence was-the first and last article of his faith; he bore no ill will against any single administrator nor any disaffection to- avard the king’s person. Gandhi said he was in court to submit cheerfully to the highest penalty which could be inflicted, and that there were only two courses open to the judge, either to resign if he felt the law he was called upon administer was evil and Gandhi was or to inflict the most severe P 3 he belicved Gandhi's ac- tivity injurious to the public weal. tly Life. addressing Gandhi Lives Sal The judge in said it was impossible to ignore the fact that in the s of millions of his countrymen Gandhi was a great patriotic leader and a man of high ideals, leading a noble, even a saintly life, but hip duty was to judge him as a man wno admitted he had broken the law and commfitted what to the ordinary person must appear to be a great offcnse against the state. The judge quoted the case of the agitator Tilak of twelve years ago and announced that- he would pass the same sentence on Gandhi as was imposed on Tilak, namely, the simple sentence of two vears' imprisonment on each of the three counts, making six_years zltogelhe(. Gandhi in replying thanked the court for his courtesy. He said he considered the sentence as light as any judge flicted. The news of the sentence of the co-operationist leader spread like wildfire through Ahmedabad and crowds besieged the offices of Young India to read Gandhi’'s statement. There was no disorder.

URGES DELEGATION FORFETE N BRATL Mr. Hughes Asks House to Authorize Mission to Centenary. A distinguished mission should be sent by the United States to Brazil to attend the forthcoming centenary celebration there, Secretary Hughes today told the House foreign affairs committee. He urged passage of a resolution authorizing the appoint- ment of a delegation of five which would visit the Latin American re- public during the exposition at Rio de Janeiro to express the friendship, good will and felicitations of this country. “It would be unfortunate,” the Sec- retary Baid, “if the celebration were to pass without a worthy representa- tion from the United States. The peo- ple of Brazil would consider it quite extraordinary if the United States did not send 2 mission, inasmuch as this country has been represented at other icelebrations in Latin Am . amd Brazil paid speci honor to the Unit- ed States during the centennial cele- bration at Philadelphia in 1576.” Recalling that on the occasion emperor visited the United State: Hughes said, he knew the people of Brazil would be extremely happy if the President could attend their cele- bration, adding that such a vi “would seem impossible” on account of the length of time required to make the trip, the Secretary said the ersonnel of the mission should be ipecially distinguished.” He pre- dicted that the delegation would spend a week at Rio de Janeiro. Congress has appropriated $1.000,000 for an exhibit at the exposition, which will be held later this year, and commission has gone to Brazil to | supervise erection of a building and the arrangement of the exhibit.

S. Germany Sees ' Declining Genoa Parley as Death Warrant to Any Aid. By Wireless to The Star and Chicago Daily wa. Copyright, 1 BERLIN, March 20.—Germany has learned another lesson. For the last three years the government and the people have placed their hopes of financial assistance on the United tates. Up to now nobody could fig- ure out why the assistance was not forthcoming. The Berlin newspaper Der Tag claims the:credit of solving the prob- It ®ays: declining the invitation to Secretary Hughes declared that the United States would keep away from European economic affairs until the obstructions resulting from the present reparations policy of the allies were removed. By applying this statement to German affairs one must arrive at the conclusion that the United States is unwiling to extend credit to us or take part in an in- ternational loan to us until the pres- ent cabinet’s ‘policy of fulfillment’ hows favorable results. That means, in other words, that Germany must abandon her present policy. which is entirely too optimistic as to what the United States will do.” MAY WIDEN WOODLEY RD.
