HOPES THAT FADED

TRAGI EDV OE WOMAN'S DELUSION. The delusion that a legacy of £32 she received six months ago- was the advance payment of a fortune of £33|,000, which she was expecting to inherit from jan uncle in America, is believed to have a bearing on the -death, of Mrs -Susan Ed-en Harrison, aged 013, who kept a bouirdinglioiuse in Clarendon 'l'crrace. Iteaumont Street. Liverpool. .She was found late at night enveloped m flames on a desolate part of the foreshore at. Waterloo, and died shortly afterwards. Traces of petrol are- said ‘•o' have been found on her clothing. She- was identified through a-number • •■I part I v burnt documents fou n d near the scene of the tragedy. For isomo time Mi,. Harrlsoii Had confided to friends the fact that she expected to inherit £33.000. When Mis liar rison left the bouse at tnid-day on 'the previous day she said cvlic was going to Aufiuld to visit cousins’ and then to the liank. It is thought that what she heard at the bank may have dashed her hopes, Mrs j Harrison lost her husband about 18 years ago. She had no children.
