WOMAN’S SUICIDE
WORRIED ABOUT PETS. Electric Telegraph—Press Association AUCKLAND, August 25. Worry over having to leave an old building which had long been her home rind thus lose the companionship of a number of cats she had gathered about her as pets is considered by a social worker the reason why Agnes Inkster, spinster, committed suicide yesterday. She was found dead in the house with a gas tube in her mouth. The social worker said that early in the month Miss Inkster received notice that the house was to be demolished. She had a large number of cats as lists and her only companions, and was greatly worried what would become of them. She was an old-age pensioner and a native of the Shetland Islands. It is not known whether she had any relatives in New Zealand. A verdict of suicide by gas-poison-ing was returned by the coroner, Mr F. K. Hunt, S.M.
