Fletcher, forty, society leader here, committed suicide some time last night by drinking prussic acid. Her mother, Mrs. Eva Henley, sixty-nine, finding the dead body of the daughter, drank from the same glass containing the poison and died within a few minutes. Coroner Paul Robinson found no evidence of a sul- cide pact. Mrs. Fletcher, who was well knownh in New York, was the wife of Stough- ton .A. Fletcher, President of the Fletcher American National Bank of Indianapolis, a leading Indiana cap- italist and manufacturer who is well known in New York financial cirgles. Mr. Fletcher was in Chicago when his wife ended her life. Long in Ml Health. Mrs. Fletcher had been in ill health for some time. She had spent much time recently in New York, consulting specialists. but without obtaining much relief. Since her return she had suffered renewed nervous attacks, and her friends said they believed her suffering and her loss of hope of re- covery the cause of her suicide. Her heavy social duties, incident to her wide acquaintance, had been a severe strain on her, friends said. Coroner Robinson, and others sum- moned when the servants heard Mrs. Henley scream, agreed in the belief, it was said, that Mrs. Fletcher must have been dead six or seven hours when her mother found her. The Coroner declared that Russell Stahl, the butler, told him that when he came into Mrs. Fletcher’s rooms, in response to a summons from Mrs. Henley, Mrs. Fletcher’s body was ly- ing on the floor of the dressing room, and Mrs. Henley was stooping over it, rubbing her daughter’s hands. She told Stahl, he said, to get some stim- ulant. Mother Found Dying. When he returned Mrs. Henley was not there. She was found a few minutes later lying on the floor of her own room. She was then in a dyl:;xg condition, Dr. Robinson was told. Surviving Mrs. Fletcher are her husband and two children, Louisa, seventeen years old, and Stoughton A. Jr., fifteen. FIRE WARDEN GIVES WARNING TO PUBLIC -_— Notice Is for People to Be Partici- larly Careful Abou: Forest Fires, New Haven, March 24.—State For- est Fire Warden W. O. Filley today jssued ®a warning against fires, prompted by the fact. that Fast Day falls on March 25. He says: “Conditions this spring are very similar to those in March, 1910 when Fast Day came on March 25 and 63 fires burned over ten thousand acres of land in Connecticut, with an esti- mated damage to timber, buildings, and other property of about $40,000. “The bad record for that day,” Mr. Filley says, “may be laid to the weather conditions and thoughtless use of the holiday. Unless we have & change in the weather the condjtions of 1910 will be practically duplicated, and there is no indication that human carelessnesas will be less prevalent. “The winter has been very open with little spow. The accumulation .of dead leaves and inflammabile ma- terial in the woods has been thor- oughly dried out by the wind and sun. And that is needed for a big bonfire is a careless smoker. Contin- ued warm weather will lead many people to the woods during the next few days. Everyone who smokes in the woods is capable of setting them on fire even with the best intentions.
