Society Girl Takes Her Own Life
LONDON, September 20. Mary Peel, niece of Earl Peel, after acting as a bridesmaid at a big society wedding on Tuesday went home and assembled her brother’s sporting gun and committed suicide. The Earl’s brother, Colonel Peel, adopted Mary when her father, the Rev. Honourable Maurice Peel was killed in the war. Mary recently spent three weeks holiday in Russia, returning in the best of spirits. She seemed happy at the wedding. At the inquest to-day Lady Delia Peel told the Coroner that she had no explanation to offer. There was never any suggestion of morbidness. The Coroner returned a verdict of suicide while of unsound mind.
