DRAMATIC SUICIDE

(Received this day at 10 a.m.)

LONDON, October 13

The most dramatic suicide , was committed .from a, suspension bridge at mid-night when an unknown, woman flung herself 240 feet into the, river. After a quarter, of an hour’s battle with two men who tried to prevent her, she struggled, so furiously that her flimsy clothes began to tear. She cried: —“It will he better for my husband.” She finally slipped through her clothes and disappeared with a great splash. Her body has not been recovered. The only clue to the woman’s identity is a discarded fur collared coat.
