UNIDENTIFIED GIRL WHO IS DYING FROM SELF-ADMINISTERED POISON. CIRL DIES OF POISON; NAME IS A MYSTERY Policeman Finds Her Uncon- scious on Washington Bridge ( from Effects of Acid—No One Can Tell Who She Is—Cloth- , Ing of Finest Texture. POLICE FIND NO CLUE TO GIRL’S IDENTITY. Apparently She Had Made Care- ful Preparations to Conceal Her Name Before Taking Her Life — Patrolman Watched tler.on the Bridge. Weath came at noon to-day to the beautiful girl who drank carbollo acid last night on Washington Bridge. Phy- wictans and nurses at the J. Hood Weight Hospital, where she was taken, worked over her unremittingly, but their efforts proved vain. Although the police records of missing girls have been searched and many in- Qquiries made, the young woman ts still unidentified. Early to-day many anxious friends of missing girls called at the hospital, but all turned away from the bed. The one clue failed to reveal her fdentity. In her purse was a card on which was written “E. Wilson, shoe store at One Hundred and Sixteenth street and Third avenue.” No one at the store knew tho girl from the description given by the police. There was not one other thing fn the purse or in the girl's clothing to tell who he was. Her clothing is all of the finest texture. Policeman John Coughlan, of the West ©ne Hundred gnd Fifty-second street gtation, found the girl unconscious on a bench on the bridge. He had been watching her for an hour, but did not eee her drink the poison. She had been writhing in agony for about five minutes when he reached her side. Earlier in the evening he had seen her walking nervously on the bridge. Bhe crossed several times, only to come back. Now and then she walked to the railing and looked over, as if hesitat- ing. It was evident that she was great- ly disturbed and the policeman watched her closely, ‘After an hour she sat down on the bench, and when she was quiet for a long time the policeman walked to the other end of the bridge, thinking that @he was probably more calm and had changed her mind if she had planned to end her lite, When he returned he saw that sho was lying on the bench. He hastened fis steps and when he came nearer beard the girl's moans and smelied tne fumes of carbolic acid, Near her was an empty bottle and by the glare of the Ugnts on the bridge he could see where the acid had burned her lips and face. She wore 1 wiite silk waist, a soft lack skirt with an underskirt of silk, dlack silk stockings and patent leather A pair of gold-rimmed glasses ‘old chain were found beside her and in her belt was a fine gold watch, A small chatelaine bag hung at her belt. It contained a small amount of money, a bunch of keys, a handkerchier, @ palr of gloves and the scrap of paper Mentioned. She was five feet in height @nd welgied about 120 pounds WENT 70 CHURCH CLAD INA SHET Worshippers Filed from the Place When Mrs. Desolda En- tered Church of Transfigura-' tion in Mott Street.
