SHE WAS DESPONDENT; REFUSED AN ANTIDOTE. There Was No Quarrel, Her Lover Says, and He Tried to Make Her Take More Cheer- ful View of Life. “Ivonne Artebise, a French dress- @aker, drank carbolic acid in the hall- way of her home at No. 260 West For- Seth street early to-day, and died a few moments later in the arms of her lover, Joseph Allard, a musician, em- ployed tn a Broad: restaurant, who anys he lives at No. 53 West Twenty- fifth street. Miss Artebise was a remarkably hand- ome Woman, with a wealth of dark wavy hair, and attracted attention everywhere. Allard spent much time with her, and it is said she was ex- tremely jealous of him. ‘The young woman met her jover at the festaurant when he was through late last night, and they went to another eafe, where they ate a luncheon and had several drinks. It was several hours later when they started home. What occurred in the hallway is not known beyond the evidence that Allard fought stubbornly to keep hia sweet- heart from drinking the poison. His own hands were burned by the flery Mquid, as was his clothing. He told this story to the police: “Miss Artebise met me when I was through playing at the restaurant, and after luncheon we started home. I had no idea that sne intended to end her Ufe, although she had been moody and spordent for a long time. “I was urging her to take a more sheerful view of life, and was just about to start home when she reached in the >osom of her dress and drew out a bot- He, which she raised to her ips. 1 sptang towani her, and we fought for five minutes, an you can see from my hands and clothing. : How.

When the policeman arrived with Allard he forced open her mouth, while the wom- tn tried to pour milk down her throat. Dr. Meade came with an ambulance from Roosevelt Hospital, but while he was trying to administer restoratives she died in tne arms of Allard. LETTER CARRIER COMMITS SUICIDE. Nilllam A.
