LOOKS LIKE SUICIDE

Suspicious Death of Mrs. Eberhardt, on Emerson Av N.

AFFECTED BY THE PEPIN DISASTER

Coroner Byrnes Notified that the Death Was Suicide by the Attending Physician - The "Joke" of a Morning Paper.

Mrs. Dora Eberhardt, of 3120 Emerson av N., died at 6 o'clock yesterday morning under suspicious circumstances that make it appear as if she had attempted to end her life. The symptoms of sickness that preceded her death were diarrhoea and vomiting of a somewhat violent kind. The doctor who was called in to attend her during her last hours reported the case to Coroner Byrnes as a suicide, but failed to state his reasons for coming to that conclusion. Mrs. Eberhardt, it is reported, had attempted to end her existence before. She suffered under a great depression of mind caused by the death of several of her friends in the Lake Pepin cyclone disaster of several months ago. Coroner Byrnes investigated the case today through his assistants, but had heard nothing from them up to late this afternoon.

This is the same case that a morning paper said the coroner was unable to find last night, intimating that some one had put up joke on him.
