WOMAN ENDS LIFE BY
TAKING PAREGORIC DOSE 

Mrs. George Detrick, forty-three years old, committed suicide at her home in Altamont early Sunday morning by taking an overdose of paregoric. Coroner Warren S. Hastings rendered a verdict of suicide after Dr. Thomas M. Holmes of Delmar, coroners’ physician, made his report. 

Coroner Hastings learned from Mr. Derrick, who is employed by the Delawre and Hudson railroad, that for the last twenty years his wife had been a drug addict and that she had threatened suicide when unable to obtain morphine. 

Derrick said that when he learned his wife was addicted he made it impossible for her to obtain narcotics. It was then, he said, that she started taking paregoric. Last Friday she visited Albany and returned that night having purchased nearly a pint of paregoric. The empty bottle was found in a closet Sunday after her death.

PERSONAL MENTION 

Miss Orcelia Westfall is having several weeks’ vacation from her duties in the local post office. Miss Westfall will visit in New York and Pennsylvania. 

DELMAR 

The people of Delmar and vicinity were very much alarmed over the sudden illness of the Rev. Spencer M. Adsit, who collapsed while preaching in New Scotland on Sunday morning. At first it was thought that he had suffered a shock but fortunately it was not as serious as that. He is resting very comfortably in the Albany Hospital and probably by the time this paper is issued will have returned to his home in Delmar. Mrs. Adist and their invalid daughter Marion are still in California and are undecided as to whether they will go to Boston or remain in Los Angeles for an operation that Miss Marion will have to undergo.
