B R S s : DESPONDENT WOMAN EA BELLEMORE, known as Mrs. Lillian Dent, tried to commit sui- L cide in the rear of David Dent's aloon at 26 Steuart street early yes- terday morning. She broke into the place and, securing a revolver, shot herself in the left breast. The bullet struck the breast bone and was deflected, passing around the chest and coming out under the left shoulder. The woman was hur- ried to the Harbor Hospital, where Dr. Victor Putnam dressed the wound, and later expressed the opmion that the wounded one would recover. There arc peculiar circumstances con- nected with the shooting. David Dent, the man in the case, always speaks of the woman as “my wife.”” Miss Bellemore insists that she has never been married to Dent, and because Dent would not have the ceremony performed and was making love to her sister, Lea was driven to commit the rash act. “I am now 24 years old,” sald the young woman in the hospital yesterday, “and I ran away from my home in Colorado with Dent seven years ago. He was a gamb- ler and ‘good fellow,” and I liked him and like him still. Five years ago a child was born to us and before the tlme came I} went down on my knees to Dave and asked him to make me his wife. He re- fused, and then I took rough on rats, but | unfortunately did not take enough. Ever since I have worked hard and it wae my money that set Dave up in the saloon on teuart street. “Lately my sister Ida came to live with us at 1813 Kfluon street. She is younger | than 1.
