CASE ONE OF SUICIDE! | So Police Believe, but They! Are Puzzled by New Developments. A new and puzzling feature was tn- jected into the mystery of the death of Mrs. Ruth Rogers this afternoon, In-| vestigation by the police since she was| found dead with a bullet hole in her! head in her flat at No. 1M West Elghty- fourth street yesterday appeared to have establisned that she committed su- jetde a8 a result of having been cast off by George Kirby, a clerk in the Hanover National Bank, with whom she| had been living for nearly six years, | Kirty: had two establshments, one at No, 60 West Sixty fifth street, where he «mas known as Rogers, the nther at No. 156 West Elghty-fourth atreet, where he had a bachelor apartment. A daugh- ter of the dead woman, named Ruth, has been for the past five years in the eare of a Mrs. Frazer, who Ives in Two Hundred and Eighth street, the Bronx. The child's expenses were pald by a man tamed Rogers, who frequently called to see her, and who said he was her father. The detectives supposed the Rogers ‘Mrs, Frazer knew was really Kirby until this afternoon, when she he 13 @ nuitient, and said she never saw him before in her life, i Late this afternoon Oipt. Handy, of the West Sixty-elghth street station, started his deiectives on a hunt for the real Rogers, The discovery that such a man existed ani has lived in the vielnity of this city, 4f not in the city, puts a new aspect on the case. John G. WillLims, the young automobile salesman, who boarded with Mrs, Rogers, and who discovired her tbody in the flat vesterduy, says that the only Rogers he ever saw was a man he knew to be Kirby, Two wecks ago Kirby was stricken with appendicitis and removed from a bachelor apartment he occupied at No. 156 West Elghty-fourth street to the Presbyterian Hospital. He was entered on the’ hospital boks as W.

POISONED, THE VERDICT Paterson Authorities Declare that Corrosive Sublimate Caused Victim’s Demise. PATERSON Agnes Morton, a N. J. March 12.—Mae young woman well known in social circles, was buried to- day from St. Joseph's Church. She died on Saturday, and at first it was sup- posed that the cause was gastritis or some kindred complaint, but the death certificate {ssued by the County Phy- sician declares her demise due to poison. It !s further stated that Miss Mor- | ton swallowed corrosive sublimate tab- lets such as are used for disinfectant purposes, She euffered great agony. Her friends scout the theory of sul- cide advanced by the authorities, and , insist that she took the tablets under a misapprehension, as there was no rea-| son why she should kil herself. Miss Morton was accorded the last rites and burial by the Catholic Church, and It Is evidentthat the priests believe the story of the family. ‘The girl's relatives say that a week ago last Saturday James Boucher, Miss Morton's suitor for a year or more, was found dead in the Lackawanna ‘Hotel at Scranton, Pa, His death was supposed to have been due to heart disease. His attentions to the girl had not been encouraged by the friends of the girl. ‘According to the story which the fam- tly say Miss Morton told them, she took some tablets which Boucher gave her. She, when dying, said that Boucher gave her the tablets and told her that every time she thought of him while he was | away she wus to take ome of tem. She did so until taken ill, She lay sick for three days. Boucher was highly connected, his uncle being Dr. Willlam A, Norval, of No. 381 Main street, one of the best known physicians of this city. —————___.
