WOMAN’S SUICIDE
LYING BY THE GAS RING ESCAPED FROM INSTITUTION Press Association. CHRISTCHURCH, Thursday. Almost dead in a gas-filled room Mrs. May Marshall, aged 42, was found by her husband at her home at 50 Victoria Street, New Brighton, to-day. She was unconscious and died in spite of the efforts of a doctor and her husband to revive her. Mrs. Marshall had been an inmate of an institution from which she escaped last evening. Her husband searched for her until midnight, visiting a home in the suburbs where their child, who is a year old, was being cared for. He thought his wife would visit the child. There was no sign of the woman last night nor this morning until about 11 o’clock, when the husband visited the house and found his wife lying down beside a gas ring. .She left an unsigned note saying that she entered the house by a window, that she “dead beat” and did not know what to do.
