Gould and his Anna, the Duchess De Talleyrand, who charged thelr eldest brother, George with mi nagement and declared his actions had caused a shrinkage of $20,000,000 in the estate. | NEWINGTON NEWS | A special town meeting was ot- |tended by about 50 voters last night |at the Grange hall.

NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 24, 1924 WOHAN SUICIDE AMAZES FRIENDS Believe She Had Delusion of Being Blackmailed New York, Dec. 24.—(P— A de- lusion that she was a victim of a blackmail plot was given by police today as the probable cause of the suicide of Mrs. Estelle Marr Boll- man, 31-year-old divorcee, who left an estate of more than $47,000. Mrs. Bollman was found dead with a gas tube in her mouth and a rather vague note she had written said she was being blackmaliled by a man who owed her $50,000 but she ‘would rather die than pay a cent. The note mentioned a scandal the man threatened to reveal. Benjamin A. Matthews, her at- torney, who was directed in another letter to give her estate, consisting of land in Florida, jewelry and securi- ties, to her brother, George Marr of Baltimore, discredits the blackmail thréat. He says Mrs. Bollman had been in a nervous condition recently and there was nothing in her life that in- dicated any scandal. He declares the $50,000 loan was repald and that he knows, of no blackmall threats against her. Police discovered among Mrs. Bollman's effect & broker's memo- randum dated December 22 which listed securities worth $33,000, and a balance of $14,000 in cash. This they held as evidence that the loan she referred to had been paid. The body was found by Mrs, Eve- lyn Withee, the.housekeeper, who sald Mrs. Bollman had taken the apartment six weeks ago. Mrs, Withee sald Mrs. Bollman often sald she had a “story” to tell, but always checked herself at the point of tell- ing it, saying: “You have your own troubles, I shouldn’t trouble you with mine.” Mrs. Bolman lived in Baltimore about 20 years ago and was divorced two years ago from George Pearson Bollman, a prosperous retired bust- ness man of Pittsburgh, who says he has no knowledge of any blackmail threat against his former wite.
