Family Claim That Her Death was
Due to Heart Disease.
Washington, March 25.—Weary of
the gay whirl of society and face to
face, as she believed, with years of
physical suffering, Mrs. Pierre Loril-
lard, Jr., aged 49, wife of the tobacco
magnate, committed suicide by as-
phyxiatlnon at her home, near the
fashionable Dupont Circle., in this
city, today. Her tragic death has
shocked the first social circle of the
Capital as has nothing else in years.
In spite of the coroner’s certificate
of death by suicide, members of the
family declared that Mrs. Lorillard
died of heart failure. The death was
madi more dramatic by the fact of
its occurrence only a few hours after
Mr. and Mrs. Lorillard had been the
guests of Mrs. Richard Townsend at
a dinner given in honor of Lady
-Paget. In fact, it is believed that
its ■teoon as Mrs. Lorillard arrived
her home, shortly after midnight
this morning, she began to prepare
for her death.
About 8:30 o’clock this morning
the butler in the Lorillard residence
detected an odor of gas. The origin
of the fumes was traced to Mrs
Lorillard's apartments. Opening th<
door to the bath room, just off hei
suite, the butler was horrified tc
behold the body of the mistress ol
the house stretched lifeless. Hei
face was turned, to the mat on th<
floor.
The alarm brought Mr. Lorillarr’
from his apartments across the hall
He and the butler carried the bod^
to Mrs. Lorillard’s room. Mr. Loril
lard attempted to revive his wife b>
means of artificial respiration. The
two'doctors' summoned resorted t«—
every scientific method to reston
life, but after an hour's efforts gavi
up in despair.
Shortly afterward Dr. J. Ramae'
Nevltt, the coconrer, vlsted the I,oril
lard home and ordered Deputy Cor
oner Olazebrook to perform an an
topsy, upon the completion of whicl
Dr. Nevltt issued a certificate o
death by suicide by gas poisoning
He said later that gas was escapim
from one or more jets in the batl
room when the body was discovered
and that the condition of the lunfc:
' Indicated death by gas poisoning.
Extreme reticence is being main
talned by the Lorillard family am
ah, others who possess Informatloi
, concerning the sudden death. Onl;
'a few of the most intimate frlendt
have "been admitted to the home slnc<
the news was spread of Mrs. Loril
lard's death.
Inquiry at. the residence,met witl
the declaration that Mrs. Lorillar.
had not committed suicide. '’’Sh'
died of heart failure,” retorted th«
servant.
Mrs. Lorillard left a note, whict
the coroner's jury has , seen, bu
which Mr. Lorillard has decliuet
to have made public.
Mrs. Lorillasd was subject to fre
quent attack's of despondency, H i
' said .'
The last person" to see Mrs. Lorn
lard alive was Mr. Lorillard. H

Through Jealousy.
Vincennes, Ind., March 24.—Mrs.
Jessie Overton Culberston is dying
todight, It is said, as the result of
haviSlf carbolic acid forced down her
throat and her Jaws afterwards se
curely bound. She was found today
in a shed back ol her home. Revived
for a few seconds she said: *‘A man
and a woman dragged me into the
woodshed and poured something
down my throat.”
The police attributed the crime to
jealousy. They have held a letter
purporting to be from a jealous wo
man, since Monday, The letter was
found under Mrs. Culbertson’s door
step. It warned her to give up her
husband under penalty of death.
Russell Culbertson, the woman's
husband, arrived tonight from Law-
renceburg, Ky. When shown the
threatening letter he said he recog
nized the writing as that of a woman
he once knew, but who had not been
in Vincennes for many years.
- Mrs. Culbertson, who is 25 years
old, came here a few years ago as a
trained nurse. While caring for
Joshua Brazelton, Republican county-
chairman, she fell in love with her
patient’s step-son, Culbertson. The
two eloped to Lawrenoeburg, 111.
In the shed in which Mrs. Culbert
son was found, the police tonight
liscovered paper on which were a
skull and cross bones and the words
‘Goodbye.” The writing was the
same as that of the letters.

Columbia, March 24.—Columbia
Is lo have Tree Pasteur treatment
for those suffering from rabies or
threatened with an attack of this
frightful disease. So with the ap
proach of the good old summer time
cease to worry about getting “mad”
dog bites. The free treatment is
not to be confined to patients of this
State. It will be provided for by the
State board of health at its meeting
here next month. The board is to
equip a laboratory, one of the finest
in the country, not only for the free
treatment of rabies, but it will also
be used to combat other infections
and contagious diseases.
This State, as is the case with
practically every other Southern
State, annually sends scores of such
cases to Baltimore, Atlanta and other
points for treatment, and the ex
pense is very heavy. The State
board’s idea is not only to stop this
d^ain, but methodically to combat
th*b spread of the disease. It has
become g Ireauent occurrence for
on th« JRreet.
New York, March 24.—Within
ight of several of her fellow school
:eache.rs and pupils on the way to
;chool through a crowded street
oday Miss Anna Mangano, a teacher
In the public school on East One
Hundred and Second street, was shot
\nd killed by her father, Philip
Wangano, an interpreter in a minor
ourt, who had been following his
laughter and calling to her to stop
As she kept hurrying on, he drew-
its revolver and fired two shots. H;
:hen turned the revolver on himself,
but was prevented from carrying out
ils purpose by Adolph Schwartz, virfio
,'rappled with Mangano. Two more
hots were fired while the men strug-
;led, but both went wild. Mangano
iroke away from Schwartz, but was
irrested by tow policemen.
Several of the teachers ran to the
ilace where the girl fell.. She was
lead when they found her, with a
wound in the back of her head
R'rank Lacatira, a brother-in-law of
some section of the State to report
a regular epidemic of rabies. Only
recently a portion of York county
reported such an epidemic.
In this connection the attention
of a member of the State board was
directed to the curious outcome of
a recent local case, where practically
all the members of a large family
were bitten by a dog supposed to
be suffering from rabies. The head
of the dog was sent on to Baltimore
and the head of the family went
• here for Pasteur treatment. Im
mediately the hospital reported that
analysis of the dog’s head showed
a most virulent type of rabies, and
the family’s head was put through
a thorough scientific treatment and
after recovery his bill, amounting to
several hundred dollars was cheer
fully and gratefull paid. Mean
time the other members of the fam
ily, who “took” a home, “unscien
tific” treatment, were also miracu-
'ously saved from the disease.
“That is easily explained,” said
the doctor, solemnly declining to loin
the smile that went around at ttu-
expense of the profession. “Th<’
Tgbneral lay mind,” he went on im-
nressively, “has an altogether erro
neous idea on the subject. As a mat
ter of fact »ot more than a third
of people or animals bitten even at

eave her father’s house last Jann
ary because of his cruel and Inhuman
reatment of her, and had lived at

said Mangano probably shot his
laughter because she had left home
blood. All of which accounts for
the marvelous cures effected by mad-
stones and other unscientific treat
ment.”
