Bhe Was Strikingly Beautiful and Chose a Most Sensational Way in Which to End Her Life After, Writing Her Name on a Card. In the {dentification today of the ebau- @ful young woman who ended her life en the Brooklyn ferry-voat which runs between Thirtyninth street, Brooklyn, j@nd the Battery, it developed to-day ‘Phat disappointment In love drove her ‘to take her life. The girl was Miss Jessie Richmond, twenty years old, who ved at No. 198 Elgty-fourth street, Brooklyn. The {dentification was made by the Mead girl's sister, Miss Elizabeth Rich- shond, of No. 143 West One giundred and (Fourth street, who wes called to view the body as it lay in the Brooklyn Morgue. Miss Elizabeth was called to the Morgue by Bugene Alexandra, a brother-in-law of the dead girl, who Is chemist at No. 8 Fifth avenue, and ‘who lives in Bensonhurst, Alexandra mwas told of the sulcide and the sus- picton that {t was Miss Richmond by &, Everett Thorpe, of No. 15 East Four- teenth street. One of ‘Thorpe's cards mwas found on the dead girl after ghe fwas taken from the ferry-boat. . “T hardly knew Miss Richmond. Mhorps sald to a reporter. “I was intro- Wuced to her by her brother-in-law and thad only a bowing acquaintance with her. I can't conceive why she should have taken her life or why she should , fhave had one of my cards with her.” ¢'It was all due to Thorpe that my sis- ter has taken her life,” sald Miss Eliza- beth. “He hed been attentive to her for ‘the last six years—since she was a Little girl. Ihave thot ght they were engaged. We gave her a ring, and she wore it constantly until last March, when she gave it to him to have the setting ohangeg | She had been very unhappy vf late, and T know it was due to her @isappointment in the ove affair." Miss Richmond left her home Sunday morning, saying that she was going to visit a friend, a Mrs, Murphy. She did not go to sce the friend and is supposed to have started to visit her mother, who lives at No. 143 West Twenty-fourth Atreet. Ghe is believed to have started Xo thew York on the ferry-boat for that purpose, when, overcome by grief, she Wetermined to end her ife. In the Brooklyn Morgue lies the body nf a strikingly beautiful young womun who killed herself by drinking carbolic acid on a crowded ferry-boat. Tho po- lice have been unable to discover her entity. ‘The girl was about twenty years old, her clothing is of good quality and she ‘was apparently a person of refinement. \An examination of her clothing showed that she had taken care to remove every mark that would lead to her fdentity. For that reason the police think it strange that just before she | rank the acid she took a card from “ ther pocket and wrote on {t in pencil the name Jennie Richmond and an ad- dress in Manhattan which she subse- quently crossed out. ‘The card was that of “E. Everett Thorpe.” Beneath the name the girl wrote No. 15 Bust Fourteenth street. No one named Thorpe lives at the number given. Tho suicide of the young woman was strikingly dramatic, An hour after boat at the Battery, She at- acted attention because of her pretty features and her stylish apparel. She had bright blue es, @ fresh rosy com- piexion and a great suit of waving @uburn hair. For a few minutes the young woman stood on the forward eck downstairs. ‘Then she stepped! bie into a corner near the women's jitrance, and taking a bottle of car lic acid from her handbag, she raised Ht to ner tips. @ made no outcry after drinkin; the polgon, but sank. fainting to the floor, Passengers gathered about het, and women, when they realized that the girl was dying in agony and with no help at hand, became’ hysterical. Beveral tainted The officers of the boat made every ef- fort to keep the girl alive until the Brooklyn slip was reached, Extra steam ‘was crowded on, but the girl dled within two minutes of ‘the time she swallowed the polson. Physicians were summoned when the boat’ landed, but they could do nothing, and the body was taken in harge by bvhe poll WESTCHESTER FAIR READY FOR THRONES Advance Guard Visits Grounds and Watches Final Prepara- tions for Big Show That Opens To-Morrow, i | (Special to ‘The Byening World.)
