Circumstances All Point to the Fact That She Wrote Her Death-Inviting Letters to Herself. She Once Hinted at Having a Secret Sorrow That Possibly Charles A. Ruggles, a Redlands S tudent, nlay Explain. After long months of brooding over the unhappy ending of the one romance of her life, Anna Biythe Holywell, the n teen-year-old Berkeley ‘co-ed,’’ sough surcease in death. Hers was a gloomy and despondent nature at best, to which were added years of physical suffering, but withal she was given to day-dreaming and the weaving of fantastic plots in which the mysterious was always strongly interwoven with the romantic. It is hardly to be wondered at then that this young girl should plan her sell-de- struction with all the cunning of a dis- ordered mind and envelop herself in one of the weird plots she loved to picture. Once before the girl tried (o end her life. Las*. Monday night she was fonnd in ber room unconscious from the effects of mor- phine, self-administered.

Tl flyleaf was torn our, and so the owner’s name could not be ascertained, but on the outside of the cover was the name “Charles A. Ruggle mark or writing f When W. C. Holywell, the dead girl's arrived at Berkeley last evenin eclined to be interviewed, but a mes- sage sent to him by a CaLL revorter, at the Durgan home, whither he went directly from the train, brought back the reply that there was a Charles A. Ruggles liv- ing in Redlands and that he atterded the high school at the same time his daughter was a student there. Furtber than that he knew nothing whatever about the young man, although he knew his father sligntly. Miss Katherine F. Gleason, vice-princi- pal of the Chino High School, has long been intimately acquainted wiih t was thrown on Arthur.” a great Redlands High School while the girl was a siudent there and accompanying her to Berkele: To a CALL correspondent Miss Gleason stated last evening that a few days ago she received a ietier from Miss Holywell which was written in a cheeriul vein. On beinz questioned as to any possiole caus for Mi:s Holywell taking her life, M Gleason said she was aware that the girl’s lite was not happy and she brooded over her troubles, becoming quite despondent at times. Prior to going to Berkeley she intimated to Miss Gleason that her hfe had been clouded with some trouble, and once she said: “'If vou kuew all about me you would not want to have anvthing to do with me.” Further than that she would not confide in her friend. It is now generally believed that Miss Holywell wrote the wysterious letter on the biack-bordered paper and the tele- gram that were found in her room. That they were the dictation of a diseased mind and with a view to shrouding her deatn in mystery is also plainly evident. Less than two weeks ago Miss Holy- well purcha-ed a small mourning paper and envelopes at a sta- tionery-store in Berkeley. As she was not in mourning for any relative, under ordinary circumstances she would have no use for snch writing material, Yesteraay when Coroner searched her paper and two envelopes to correspond were found in bLer trunk buried under a pile of clothing, Two sheets were taken to th- Morgue and compared with the ya- per on which the letter was written. It was found to be exactly the same size, s Baldwin shade and guality, the only difference be- | ing that the biack border on the top of one sheet was a hair's breadth wider than on the other. The border on the sides and bottom were exnctly the same. Miss Holyweil was a ciever penwoman and wrote severai siyles with equs:l facil- ity, as shown in her colleze work, but withal there were several characteristics them all that could not be mis- A long and careful compar- of the handwriting in the with that of an essay, known to letter, have been written by her, showed unmi-- takably that both were written by ihe same person, although she had evidently taken some trouble to disguise the tormer. The letter bears date of October 23, and postmarked, **San Francisco, October 6:30 o M."" None of the dead girl's iriends will admit that they have any knowledge of her visitin - this city either Saturday, Sunday or Monday last, but one of the students at the un.versity, who knew Miss Holywell quite weii, saw Ler on the bout and train returning from San Francisco Jate Saturday nighi, the 231 nst. He spoke to her, and she said sue had been over to the city. It being 80 late she could have posted ber letter in some suburban box where it would not be gathered up until some time Sunday and canceled early Monday morn- " ien there is tbe telegram dated “San Francisco, October 25,” and signed by “R. J. Biythe.” This te.egram reads: “All is D4 not come on now. Died vester- i alc is almost a certainty that this telegram was written also by the girl herself, but the Western Union Company refuses to show the original fi.ing and so no com- parisons could be made. 3 Miss Holvwell's college friends and those with whom she lived have but a bazy recollection of the hours and places they saw her during the day. It is certain thacshe attended some of the recitations at least, and from the fa l- ure of the Durgan family to account for her whereabouts during the late after- noon, it would have been an easy matter for ner to have run over to the city long AUl5 Market St., $an Francisco, Gal. enough to file the telegram and take the next boat back to Berkeley] There was no other | Miss | Holywell, having been a teacher in the | quantity of | room several sheets of this | { That Monday night she made the first | attempt upon her life. Dr. Joseph F. Eastman of Berkeley, who was called in on that occasion, ques- ioned the girl after s e had been revived | as to why sbe had taken poison. | She declared that she ~uffered from in- somnia ana headache aud had taken the drug as she had always taken it, to reiieve her suffering. | “areyou a morphine fiend?” bluhtly | asked the physician. | The girl vouchsafed no reply. “Did vou take the drug this evening with the purpose of ending your life?” he demanded. To this inquiry the unhappy young girl gave no response. “I am sure said Dr. Eastman yester- day, “‘that the girl was addicted to the use of morphine. Her complexion and | physical appearance indicated that such was the fact. Although I have prescribed | for her I knew very little of the girl. “After we brouzht her to on Monday night she wept and sobbed, repeating | over and over the name *‘Arthur.”” Dr. Eastman further refutes tae suppo- ion that Miss Holywell was in straitened financial condition. On Tuesday iast she | came to his cffice and promptly paid the doctor for his services on the night pre- vious. She seemeda to have plenty of money a e time. He said further that he knew the girl to have been virtuous. | It has been pretty definitely ascertained | how the unfortunate girl secured the poison with which she ended her life. | The investigation has also confirmed the belief that the girl was addicted to the use of morphine. Abont seven weeks ago Charles R. McNuity. a cierk in Kelsey’s drug store, soid to Miss Holyweli a one-eighth grain morphine powder. The powder was put up in an envelope marked with the name of the druggist who had sold it. The same envelope was found in the girl’s room after her death with one and three-fourths grains of mor- puine in it. It was at first supposed that the poison which the girl had used was purchased at Kelsey’s. Upon inquiry at the drugstore it was found that the only morphine sold for some wreks haa been sold to an old | gray-haired lady who wore spectacles. | Tt was suspected that this old lady had | furnished the poison to the girl. The mystery surrounding the old lady, | however, has b en cleared up., She is Mrs. Harriet 8. Conners, and on_the 18th inst. clerk at K-lsey’s, one grain of morphine in one-sixth grain powders for her hus- band, who 1s & sufferer from lumbago. | She still has four of the powders, having given the other two to her husband. The poison used by Miss Holywell must therefore have been obtained elsewnere, | and besides, Mrs. Conners declares that that she never nad any dealings whatever with the dead girl. The powders, moreover, that were found in the Kelsey envelope were put up in papers of different shape from those used at the drugsiore. Clerk McNulty declares positively that the powders in question were not ob- tained there, and 1s quite certain that no such powder papers are used by any of | | her a week ago she spoke on gruesome the drugstores in the college tow Miss Holywell, nevertheless, known to bave purchased the drug eisewhere in Berkeley. Ou Friday last at about 3:30 ®. M. six grans of morphine were sold at Rut- ledge’s drugstore to a young lady giving ber name as Miss Lablache, but whom the | elerk at Rutledge’s has nositively identi- fied as Miss Holywell. She gave her resi- dence as 2240 Durant avenue, and stated that she wanted tham to alleviate pain, and that she was in the habit of u.ing the drug for that purpose. | There is no such number on Durant | avenue as that given by thezirl. The box | containing the poison was found in the | dead girl’s room and it was probably from | 1t that sbe took the fatal dose. | W. C. Holywell arrived at Berkeley ves- terday evening on the 6:15 train, baving left the overiand and taken the local at | Sixteenth-street station. | F. W. Durgan, with whom the unfortu- nate girl had been stopping, met the giri’s stricken father ut the depot. He was im- mediately conducted to she Durgin resi- dence. In snswer to a number of inquiries Mr. Holywell declared that he knéw nothing of the persons mentioned in the nys- ter.ous leiter which his duughter received last Monday night. He was unavle to shed any lizht upon the mystery or to give any clew to the \ idenuty of “Arthar” or Elis R. King or Bishep Blythe or R. J. Blythe or Profes- sor Paget, who are mentioned in the letter. “I was aware that my dau hter had been desvondent of late,”” he said, “but bevond this I know absolutely notning.” The father identitied the letter, which has come addre-sed to the girl since her deatn, and which Deputy Coroner Strightif has refused to open until after the inquest this moruing, as a letter from ti:e dead gir’s aunt i Redlanus. He also iden- tified the package which accompanied .hlla letter, as having been mailed by him- self. While declining to state what the con- tenis of the packsge were he declared that they were nothing which would throw any light upon the mystery of the case. Beyond this the father had noining to say, requesting the reporters to wait until tnis morning for further particuiars, Beyond the regisier bearing the name “Charles A, Rugele ”” and the black-bor- dered paper, the search ot Miss Holywell’'s room revealed little that could throw any light on the cause of her act. T eroom was in the greatest confusion when Coroner Baldwin entered it yester- day afternoon. I. was a little square room, plainly furnished, and just such an abiding-place as one would picture a girl- studen to select. The floor was covered with matting and in the corner opposite the door stood a nar- row bed with nothing on it but the mai- tress. In another corner, piled partly cn a traveling-case and partly on the floor, were the brdclothes, while in the thirdjcor- ner was the table piled nigh with books e purchased from R. S, Hawley, a | | Fitzgibbon atiended to his i1 ju and papers, among which was the regis- ter. In the fourth corner was a cupboard containing a small coal-oil stove, a few cooking utensils and a scanty stock of provisions, showing hat the girl prepared some cf her meals in her room. A bureaun, three chairs and a large trunk compieted the furnishings. Scaitered abont were piles of books ana papers, mute evidence of the girl’s studi- ous habits; but among all the books there was not one that wouid indicate the ro- mance-weaving, mysterv-loving side of her nature. ‘“Emerson’s Essays” was about the lightest reading that could be found, but among her pupers were qucta- tions from and references to Shakespeare's works that indicated a love for the great master. Many letters were found, all of which were irom her immediate relatives or her girl friends in Redlands, aud inonly one | of them was mention made of A man. In | aletter signed ““Mary’”’ and dated Red- lands, September 4, 1897, the writer, in answer to something evidently written by the dead girl, suid she need have no fear of the writer marrying “that mountain runt.” ‘That was all, but in every one of the letters, whether from father, mother, sisters or girl friends, there were many sentences indicating that all were familiar ith her gloomy disposition, and all wrote with the object of cheering her up. Two articles in the room confirmed the | suspicion that she was turning, as her friends had long suspected, toward the Catholic Church. In the bottom of her trunk was found & colored print of a face, beneath which was the caption, “The Sacred Heart of Mary.” Upon the wall of ithe room there was also an engraving with the inscription *Mater Dolorosa,” and these, in addition to the fact that a small ivory cross was found upon her body, indicate strongly her leaning toward Catholicism, When living at home, at Redlands, she, tozether with the other members of her family, was a Presbyterian. Mrs. Hutch- ins states that since her residence at Berkeley she has been attending the Epis- copal church. While there is no direct evidence that she had changed herreligion there was a mysterious scrap of paper found 1n her | room which indicates the posssbility of | such a change. The paper bears the puz- | pling memoranda: “Office on_Mission st. Dr. Lane, St. Mary’s Cath., Van E:s ave., Bihs, St. Ignatius, Hayes. Hern- field, Jobnny.” Considerable difficulty was encountered | in trying to find two of the important wit- nesses who will testify at the inquest, Miss Garland and Miss Payne, both of whom were intimately acquainted with the dead irl. £ Miss Payne could not be found at her residence on Channing way, where it was | stated she had gone to San Francisco and | would not return until this morning, Miss Garland, when finally found, way very reticent and refused to give any in- formation further than that previousiy | mentioned. ‘'L have refuse!,” she said, | “and will refuse 10 give out any informa- | tion until the inquest to-morrow.”” Mrs. Hutchins of Baderoft way and | Ellsworth street, with whom Miss Gar- | land boarded and with whom she was ou very intimate terms, stated that Miss Garland had frequently spoken of tne dead girl. According to Mrs. Hutchins Miss Garland had frequently noticed that Mis: Holywell was desponaent, but nevertheiess she was possessed of great mbition. Miss Holywell boped to go to Welles- ley College,” said Mrs. Hutchins, *and she often endeavored to persuade Miss Garland to go with her. She was very much disappointed in her coliege life at Berkeley, where she hiad formed but very few congenial acquaintances. “Miss Garland is convinced that no love affair drove Miss Holywell to take her lite. She has examined the letter purporting to tell of the death of ‘Ar- thur,’ and she is convinced that Miss Holywell wrote the letter herself. Miss Garland is familiar with the dead girl’s handwriting and style of writing, and in her judement the letter corre- sholnds with ‘other writings of the dead irl. £ “One feature of the letter especially confirms Miss Garland in the opinion that the dead girl is the author of the letter, It is dated ‘Rectory of St. Benne, and the fact that Miss Holywell formerly lived in Upper Canada, where French names very similar to this one are quite common, strengthens her belief that her friend herself wrote the letter that has caused so much speculation.”” Tue statement of Mrs. Berg, with whom Miss Holywell formerly boarded, that financial reverses met by her father wouid partly account ior the girl’s melancaolia, is not borne out by facts obtained from other sources. Mrs, Berg is convinced that overstudy was the primary cause of the mental con- dition which led the girl to suicide, but she believes some news of her father's business troubles producea the immedi- ate shock which prece led her self-destruc. tion. She believes that the girl had pre- meditated suicide and that the details of the act had been planned with insane cun- ning. “I am persuaded,” said Mrs. Berg, “that she moved away from us in order to es- cape our vigilance, and that she contem- plated suicide at the time. When 1 saw subjects and dec ared that some time she wou!d take her own life. ‘It isn’t wicked,’ she deciared, ‘ror if I kill the body the sonl will still o on living.’ Mrs. Berg stoutiv maintains that the girl had no love aftair of any kind, or she (Mrs. Berg) would bave known it. Ac- cording to her statement Anna had almost an aversion to men, and cared ncthing for their socie!y. “'She had a strange fancy for sitting in the dark thinking, and alone,” continued Mrs. Bers.. “Ehe was often uncommuni- cative and moody, although occasionaily she would become quite jolly. She was wonderfully imaginutive, and she oiten entertained us with improvised tales, the plots of which she seemed to take great pleasure in devising and working up. “The girl was ambitious to become a writer and seemed to enjoy he anticipa- tion of the great tragedies and romances which she intended to write.” The inquest over the body of the unfor- tunate suicide will be held by Coroner Balawin this morning at 9:30 at the Berkeley Branch Morgne, Knocked Down by a Uar, James Casey, an old man living at 153 Na- toma street, was crossing the cartracks from Lotta’s fountain shortly after midnight yes- terday when he wss kunocked down by an electric-car.
