WOMAN'S SUICIDE
LOST HUSBAND’S AFFECTION CORONERS STRICTURES Press Association GISBORNE, Today. A verdict of suicide by drowning while in a state of acute mental depression was returned by the coroner at the conclusion of the inquest concerning the death of Mrs. Ellen Spivey, aged 46, whose body was found in Mangapapa Creek. ‘‘lt seems that the cause of this unfortunate woman’s death was undoubtedly the treatment she received from her husband,” said the coroner, Mr. F\ H. Harper, S.M. “As a result of his conduct and the loss of his affection,” he continued, “her mind and health were so much affected that she took her own life, and did not know what she was doing.” At the inquest concerning the death of Adair, an orchardist, reported yesterday, a verdict of death from natural causes was returned.
