ELDERLY WOMAN’S DEATH. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received May 1, 5.5 p.m. New York, April 30. Mrs. Grainger, mother of Mr. Percy Grainger, the famous pianist, who comes from Melbourne, leaped from the eighteenstorey Aeolian building into the busiest street in New York, and was instantly killed. The police believe Mrs. Grainger ended her life because she was suffering from a painful stomach ailment. She had come to visit the office of her son’s concert tour headquarters. The manageress (Mrs. Sawyer) stated that she rested on the couch and complained of stomachal pains. She asked the manageress to go to a chemist's, and when the latter returned she found the room empty. Hundreds saw the leap. Mrs. Grainger was sixty years old. Her son was on a Los Angeles concert tour.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
