f j KEEPS DEATH PACT WITH HER ~ SWEETHEART. Mrs. May Kay Shoots Herself, as She Prom- ised “Bill.” DIES WITHIN AN HOUR. Southerner She Loved Jumped to Death from Her Apart- ments Months Ago. Because of a grim ber sweethe death-pact with ay Kay, a hand- uthern womai, died to- . Vincent's Hospital with a bullet wound in her abdomen. Five the sweetheart, whom she er friends here do not name—Jjumped from a law of an Appartment- house and killed himself. He had ex- acted from her a promise to follow him to the grave. So yesterday af herself at her rooms in the Hotel Ala- Dama, in East Eleventh street, with a jewalled toy of a revolver, She was bravely smiling, despite the pain, when @ hotel clerk found her stretched white and bleeding on her bed. She wanted to die. There was her pledge to “Bill,” and besides, “Bill's” successor, a Broadway business man, to whom she Intrusted the whole of her $150,000 estate, had, she sald, re- fused to make any accounting to her. There are phases of this strange @ouble tragedy that may never be known. Part of her secret Mra. Kay took with: her into the grave. Sn became unconscious from pain soon after reaching St. Vincent's, When @ reporter for The Evening World saw her there to-day she was sinking fast. Her long, slender fingers, loaded with rings, were fitfully picking the cover- Mds within an hour she died, Dr. P. E. Bush, of No. 45 Charlton street, told this story to the reporter: “I had been treating Mrs, Kay for several days for nervousness, She con- stantly threatened to kill herself. She told me that three years ago her hus- band, a New Orleans broker, died, leav- her a large estate. Last fail she ame here, and a young man she called "Bill followed her. She also became inyolved with a New York business man who was acting as trustee for her, and there were complications, Mrs. Kay and ‘Bill! agreed to commit sul- cide, and one day ‘Bill’ jumped out of window in her apartments and was kiled. Ever since she had been de- en rast weok the woman tried, it {s sald, to get her property back from the New York man. He refused to surrender the securities she had intrusted to him. Late yesteriay afternoon he called her on the teleptione, but she refused to talk with him. A Ittle later she saot her- aelf. Lying on a table where she could see it as she shot was a frayed and crum- pled note, which she had evidently car- rlej about with her constantly, It had been written on paper of the St. Charles Hotel, at New Orleans, and it read as follows: “My Darling Dear: I am leaving, but against my wishes, If you love me, please wait until my return, I simply cannot give you up. Yours sincerely, BILL. Mrs. Kay was twenty-eight years old, tall, handsome and refined. Another fact indicating why Mrs, Kay chose yesterday to keep her death pact with "BIN" came to ght to-day. Yesterday she called up Coroner Shrady ‘on the telephone and asked for detalls of tho death of Mrs. Blanche Turner Dennis the nicht before. In a voice broken with sobs she told the Coroner she had come from the same Southern town a8 Mrs, Dennis, and they had deen fellow guests at the Alabama for a time during the early part of the ‘winter, She seemed greatly distressed at her friend's death, N rnoon late she shot | whaler Orion, | coast Heavy Rain in Mississippi.
