STRANGE SUICIDE
LONDON SOCIETY GIRL SEQUEL TO A WEDDING LONDON, Sept. 20 Miss Mary Peel, niece of Earl Peel, after acting as bridesmaid at a society wedding on Tuesday, went home, assembled her brother's sporting gun and committed suicide. The Earl's brother, Colonel Peel, adopted Mary when her father, the Rev. Hon. Maurice Peel, was killed in the war. Miss Peel recently had spent three weeks' holiday in Russia and returned in the best of spirits. She seemed happy at the wedding. At the inquest to-day, Lady Delia Peel told the coroner she had no explanation to offer. There was never a suggestion of morbidness in Miss Peel. A verdict of suicide while of unsound mind was returned.
