Special Dispatch to The Call. LOS ANGELES, Aug. 13.—The mystery surrounding the death of Mrs, Jessie Bai- ley probably will never be fully cleared. The Coroner’s investigation threw little light upon the strange case, and at the In- quest to-day a verdict of death from causes unknown was returned. The woman was found in her room | seemingly suffering from morphine poi- | soning and taken to the General Emer- | gency Hospital, a private Institution, where she died five hours later. The hos- pital physiclans were willing to sign a death certificate showing she had dled from morphie poisoning, but the Coro- ner's autopsy showed that three of the woman’'s ribs had been broken. Autopsy Surgeon Campbell declared positively that death had been caused by a bilow over the heart. Then the detectives took into cus- tody C. 8. Webber, who had been very friendly with the woman for two vears. It was ascertained that they had quar- reled and he is the person who found her unconscious in her room. As a result of two days' investigation by four detectives, the police department announced to-night that in their opinion the woman was not murdered. They say they are satisfied the’ woman took poison and that she was in a dying condition when taken to the hospital. They think her ribs were broken at the hospital, while the attendants were trying to re- store respiration by artificlal means. In support of this theory they point out that had the woman's ribs been broken before the reached the hospital she could not have survived the treatment she under- went for five hours. Webber has been re- leased and so far as the police are con- cerned the case is closed., e13Z o Kearny Street Thurlow Block | { | ———————— Rain Spoils Tennis Tournament.

LLOS ANGELES, Aug. 13.—Despondent because of domestic troubles, practically ! without money and brooding over that which had caused his retirement from the active list, Captain Henry E. Smith, United States hrmy, committed suicide | Tuesday evening by taking four ounces of carbolic acid. Not until to-day was the fact of his suicide known, when his body was found in a room in the Southern Ho- tel, at the corner of Requena and Main | streets. Even then, it was not known who the man was, for in his preparations for death he had destroyed every scrap of paper and every other article which would serve to reveal his identity. He had reg- istered at the hote! under the name of | James Wilson. Dr. T. Harriman of Long Beach, for years a friend of the | dead man, to-night identified the body as | | that 6f Captain Smith. Dr. Harriman | i had been looking for Smith for some ! time, for he had been missing from Long | Beach for more than a week. | | Captain Smith first appeared at the { ! hotel August 1 and registered as James | Wilson. He remained two dayvs and then | left. Later he returned and pald his room rent up to August 9, and on Sunday last | he told the clerk he was broke and asked to be permitted to keep the room for a day or two, pntil he could get some money from the East. He was given a | much cheaper room and permitted to | stay. He sent and received séveral tele- | grams, the contents of which are un- | known. ® i i Captain Smith was last seen alive on | Tuesday. The following morning a cham- | i bermaid saw him lying on the bed, but | | @1a not call him. This morning she no- | ticed that his position had not changed and she reported the matter. The body | | was only partly dressed and beside it was is\ bottle which had contained carbolic | acld. The autopsy to-night showed that he had taken several ounces of the dead- | | 1y poison. | Captain Smith was 34 years of age, a | graduate of West Point, and during the Spanish War served in the artillery branch of the service. It is reported here that during the war he became implicated | in some deal with persons who had con- | tracts to sell the Government supplies | | and that serious trouble might have re- sulted for him. His father-in-law in De- ! troit came to the rescue, however, and | he was placed on the retired,list, the rea- | on assigned being ill health. He went to | Long Beach six months ago and stopped at the Hotel Riviera. Recently his money became exhausted and he sent a draft for $75 East to pay his hotel bill.
