CHICAGO WOMAN SLAYER A SUICIDE Miss Stopa Takes Poison After Eluding Police Detroit, April 26.—A quick acting and deadly sceured from a corner drug store and taken in a hotel room here late yesterday, ¢nded the career of Wanda Stopa, a Polish immigrant girl, who became a lawyer, and also u gay figure in the life of Greenwich Village in York. Miss Stopa died as Chicago pelice were seeking her in connection with the slaying of Henry Manning, aged carctaker at the home of Y. Kenley Smith, wealthy advertising man Thursday. The woman, according to the police, in a jealous rage, went to the Smith's residence for the purpose of killing him and his wife after he had refused to obtain a divorce, and shot Manning when he attempted to protect Mrs. Smith, Mystery surrounded the death of Miss Stopa in Detroit. She registered at the hote! under the name of Glas- | gow. A guest at the hotel saw the woman in the writing room and ! thought he recognized her from news- | paper photograph. He looked over her shoulder and saw she was writing & letter to Mrs. Inez Frank, manager of the hotel. When the assistant manager went to the place where the woman had been sitting, she was gone, according to hotel attaches. Accord- ing to the coroner the letter was not among Miss Stopa’s effects when he was called. . § Dies From Poison Shortly after the hotel clerk was told that Miss Stopa was there, a call cdme from the room occupied by the woman who registered as Glasgow, saying ghe was ill. A house physician who went to the room, rapped, and recelving no response, opened the door, just in time to see the woman fail backward on the bed. She within a few minutes. On the dresser was a bottle that had contained poison. The coroner's office was notified and the body was taken to an under- taking establishment. The woman was fully clothed, expensively but plainly, No report of the suicide was made to the police, according to offi- cera, Three hours later police were noti- fled by Chicago officers that Miss Stopa had heen seen at a hotel in De- troit. They were told to look for her #ls0 under the name of Glasgow. After looking over the hotel register they discovered the woman had com- mitted suicide, At the undertakin, establishment police detectives identi- | fied the woman as Miss Stopa. According to the coroner, Miss Btops had no baggage except a small pag containing lingerie and me tollet articles, A letter, signed “Ken- and addressed to “Dear and and an address book were found’also. Thg letter threw no light ,on the tragedies in Chicago or De- troit. The address book showed the names of a number ofeprominent per- | sons In New York city, many of them | writers or artists, | poison, Elaine New Glascow Absolved Chicago, April 26.~~Almost at the time Wanda Ilaine Stopa, the immi. | grant girl who became Chicago's | youngest woman lawyer, took polson in Detroit yesterday, a coroner's jury héve returned a verdict blaming her for the siayving of Wenry Manning, caretaker at the home of V. Kenley | Smith. | Tt was a mad infatuation for Smith, | disclosed in her letters, that prompted Miss Stopa, who had decided to aban- | don a legal career and devote her- self to writing, to come from New York to Chicago to kill him after he | had stopped $150 monthly payments | to defray her expenses in New York's artists colonies, Smith when informed of her death reiterated former statments that he believed Miss Stopa “highly emo- tional.” He did not testify at the | coroner’s Inquest, but Ernest T, Wood, | middle aged taxicab driver, who drove Miss Stopa to the Smith home was ealled, Wood failed to explain his | delay of more than a day in giving | his information to the authorities, Sigmund Glascow, father of Viadi- mir “Ted” Glascow, who posed as Miss Stopa’s husband, declared that | the girl was “good, studious, am- bitious and serious.” He sald he had | not seen his son since the marriage, | three years ago. Wood's story, according to the po- Mee, apparently absolved Glascow | from connection with the slaving. At first it was thought that he drove the ‘ automobile. cert, TTOPen | §VOICES IN THE AIR ) TIVETISTIPIIEPIICPIPITIIIY ‘ WSB (Atlanta Journal—Atlanta, Ga.)
