GIRL'S LOVE TRAGEDY
TAKES POISON IN WOOD DURING WALK WITH YOUNG MAN. A sorry love tale was told at an inquest at Baldwin’s Hill (Eng.) last month, on the boay of Lily Bazley, aged twenty. It was stated that several, letters were found in the girl’s box. One addressed to Burton, her sister’s brother-in-law, said; "You wrote me a nasty letter, and my temper wap soon ujn I told you ■ if you did not have me no other man would. No one now cares for me. I think it hard, but 1 shall be at rest on Sunday night. You will know all in a day- or two. I wish you goodbye and »ood luck, for I am going.— With love, from your broken-hearted Li 11.”
The evidence showed that it had been arranged she should marry Burton, but he wrote from Staffordshire to say he could not provide a home for her. She went for a walk with another young man, whom she left and went into a wood. When she rejoined him she stated she had taken poison, and died in a few minutes. A verdict of "Suicide” was returned.
