BRIDE’S SUICIDE
POLICE INVESTIGATIONS.
[BY CABLE —PRESS ASSN. —COPYRIGHT.]
NEW YORK, April 26. The police, to-day, made a statement regarding the suicide of Mrs Helen Mont, aged 25, a former actress, and the bride of a month of a wealthy interior decorator. She committed suicide by inhaling gas. There were 400 guests invited to a prospective cocktail party at the time. The police stated-that a . note indicating her intention to commit suicide was left by Mrs Mont. This note has indicated that chain letters sent to the guests who assembled were sent by a practical joker, instead of by the woman herself. The letters went to a score of friends, instructing them to make two copies of this letter, and to mail the copies to their friends. The letters promised a “mystery party” that would be the most unusual in New York’s history.
The police have refused to reveal the contents of the letters. The invitations specified an apartment in the building, hut not the Mont apartment. The suicide of Mrs Mont was, apparently, a coincidence, and was not linked with the “mystery” party.
