WIDOW OF FORMER MERCHANT ENDS LIFE WITH CHLOROFORM
Mrs. Mary P. Jennings Inhales Poisonous Fumes and Body is found 24 Hours Later—Leaves Note for Friend.
Despondency resulting from failing health is believed to have caused the suicide of Mrs. Mary Palmer Jennings, 66, of 917 West Water Street, widow of Fred L. Jennings, a former prominent Elmira merchant. Mrs. Jennings’ body was found in her bed at 9 o’clock Friday night, 24 hours after she is believed to have inhaled the fumes of chloroform. Discovery was made by David S. Chang, a draughteman at the American Bridge Company plant and a roomer in the Jennings’ home. He last saw her alive about 10 o’clock Thursday night, when she informed him that his breakfast the next morning would be on the table downstairs, in case she did not arise at the usual time, Mr. Chang ate his breakfast Friday morning and left the house. When he returned Friday evening he found no one about the house, investigated and discovered the body.
Dr. Abraham Lande was summoned and called Coroner Tracey Hamilton, who found the woman lying half covered by bed clothing, wrapped in a heavy dressing gown. Close against her mouth and nostrils she held a tumbler partly filled with absorbent cotton. A two-ounce bottle nearby contained a small quantity of chloroform. Beside the bed, Coroner Hamilton found a hastily written note, in which the deceased directed that Elizabeth L. Hathaway of Mosherville, Pa., take care of her effects. Miss Hathaway was notified and the note turned over to District Attorney Walter B. Herendeen. Sheriff U. S. Collson, with Deputy Sheriff Frank Spaulding, visited the home and Coroner Hamilton turned the case over to them. Mrs. Jennings had been in failing health for some time and friends had also noticed the development of certain eccentricities. Her husband, who had conducted a feed store, died several years ago. She was born and spent her early life at Millerton, Pa. (handwritten on article May 20, 1926)
