JUMPED TO DEATH
WOMAN’S SUICIDE IN VIEW OF SCHOOL CHILDREN. United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright (Received October 19, 5.5 p.m.) NEW YORK. October 13 Scores of school children watched as Mrs Emanuel Osterman, invalided wife of the president of a firm of cordial manufacturers, deliberated for five minutes on the window sill of her flat, and then jumped eleven stories to death in a concrete court below. The cries of the horrified children, who crowded the windows of the school which faces the court, were heard a block away. A physician said the woman who suffered from suicidal mania, had eluded her maid, as they prepared for a walk, locking herself in the bathroom, from which she jumped.
