UNHAPPY MARRIAGE.
ENDS IN, WIFE'S SUICIDE. Times and Sydney Sun Services. London, May 11
There was an unusual demonstration at the funeral at Newport of Mrs. Edith Jordan, who died from oxalic acid poisoning. At the inquest a verdict of suicide while temporarily insane was returned.
Tie evidence disclosed that Mrs. Jordan had a dispute with her husband on the day of her death, and that such disputes had been frequent previously. Crowds of women and girls gathered at the house, jeered and hissed the husband, and followed the hearse. The police kept order at the graveside, but returning the crowd hooted and threw stones and mud.
