'Parted From Niece for Shopping Tour, and Nothing Was Seen of Her Until She Was Delivered, Dying, at Residence of the Colonel, Her Brother-in-Law. Mrs, E. S. McCook, sixty years old, widow of Gen. Edwin S, Cook, died at 3 o'clock this afternoon at the residence of her brother-i aw, Col. Anson G, McCook, of injuries which she is supposed to ha¥_ sustained about noon in an automobile accident somewhere in the city. The strangest feature of the tragedy was that no one could be found who ‘would own to knowing how or where Mrs, McCook suffered the hurts that killed her. The first information came to the Coroner's office in the form of @ telephone message from Dr, Dever S. Byard, of No, 155 East Seventieth street, who telephoned to say that as a result of being knocked down and run over by an automobile Mrs. McCook had just died at the Anson Me- Cook home, No. 33 West Fifty-fourth street. a At the McCook home a reporter for ‘The Evening World subsequently ob- | tained these deta’ Mrs. cago, had been spending the winter 11 ALMOST A RIOT Englewood, N.
