N. J., Nov. 9.? 8 Mrs. Emily D'Essi, a native of France and a resident of Philadeldelphia, fifty-eight years old, walkn ed into the ocean at South Carolina r_ j avenue and drowned herself. She d: had taken off her outer garments ir ,and laid them in a neat pile on the ?; beach. The clothes were discovered oy a boy, which led to a search. ; The body was recovered after it f had been in the water for several hours. No one witnessed the sui^ cide so far as is known. x News of the finding of the clotlirji:g spread quickly through the hon : tel district and along the Boardr" *ulk Before the police had ar' rived to take charge of the search ! several hundred people had rushed j to the scene of the tragedy. Fash iunable gowned women left their rolling chairs on the Boardwalk to '" join the throng on the strand and peer over the breakers, trying to catch a glimpse of thf^woman's 0 body. 8 In Water for Hours. . For an hour the anxious people on the beach watched the drag for " the- body. It was finally discovered 11 by a life saving crew almost a d square away from the spot ' where the garments were found. The crew hastily put back to shore. Physicians, who had been summoned, attempted to resusei8 Late the woman. It was found by d close examination that Mrs. D'Kssi t? had been in the water for hours, h When the women saw the dead woman tenderly carried from the b Peach, her features fixed in a half b smile and a long gray wisp of d hair showing from the overcoat d placed over the body many of them ? cried. They were led from the ft' scene. - The body was placed in the hos, b pital ambulance and taken to an b ] undertaking establishment. There b it was claimed by a Philadelphian d wr.ose identity t^e police refused to 'f make known. r Too liivte to Pievent Tragedy. j I'pon information gathered by the e , authorities it was learned that Mrs. D'Kssi left a hotel on Arch street, e Philadelphia, about 10 o'clock Monday morning and came to this city, o 'She registered at a beach front s hotel at the foot of South Carolina avenue. There she sent letters o to tiie man who claimed the body, declaring her intention of ending her life.
