Ohio, despite the fact that tl ho has a wife and three children in a1 "Winnebago. Parker became morose ni and despondent. He refused to see b any visitors and late in the night Cl complained of a severe headache. ^ A messenger was sent for headache tl tablets. Shortly after receiving the jE tablets, Parker swallowed the entire ]0 25 grains. One of the turnkeys heard iE signs of distress from Parker's cell ai and discovered his condition.

Chicago, Nov. 30.?:Lucile Cam- as eron, former white sweetheart of cc Jack Johnson, negro pugilist, has disappeared. Her mother, Mrs. F. Cam- ai eron-Falconnet, into whose custody cc she was given by the federal court, ja returned last night to her' home in se Minneapolis. D The association of the white girl with the negro pugilist was the cause pi of charges of violation of the Mann ai white slave act being made against p( Johnson. In the early stages of the g( prosecution, the Cameron girl was regarded as a most important witness pi for the government. Later charges cc were made against Johnson and the j girl's testimony was valued less high- T ly by the prosecutors. For several g( weeks Miss Cameron was detained as a witness in the jail at Rockford, 111., ^ where her mother insisted on staying. re The girl is believed to be hiding in Chicago. She disappeared Wednesday g{; night from a downtown hotel where tl] she was living with her mother pending arrangements to leave the city. The department of justice will ] make an investigation to learn whether Johnson or any of his friends have IS hidden the girl. "I am through," Mrs. Falconnet said before she left. "I have fought and fought to save Lucile. I would so have given my life to free her from 0( that terrible career upon which she co had started when I intervened."
