The following sonsational and tragic
account of an affair in which a former
well known McCookite appears in a lead
ing role is taken from the associated
press dispatches of the 20th instant
Sunday last
Chicago 111 Oct 20 While griev
ing over the dual life she was leading
with Dr Orville Burnett a prominent
Chicago dentist Mrs Charles Nichol
wife of W L Nichol jr commercial
agent of the Nashville Chattanooga
St Louis railroad committed suicide
today in the Marlborough hotel Bur
nett also tried to end his own life at the
same time but was unsuccessful
The two were found in their rooms
both stretched across the bed the
woman dead and Burnett with his neck
pierced with a hat pin a bottle of mor
phine clutched in his hand and the gas
turned on from every one of the six jets
in the suite Dr Burnett is still alive
and has been arrested
In one of the rooms was found a note
written by the woman which told of her
reason for the act She said
To Whom It May Concern I did
it because I loved him better than any
thing on earth and he loved me and we
could not be separated Good bye
Charlotte
The note supplemented with a state
ment made by Dr Burnett tells of the
tragedy enacted by the two lovers
According to the dentists story he
met Mrs Nichol while yet a young girl
in Nashville Tenn and fell in love with
her Butnett moved to Chicago and
married several years afterward
Our love was still strong for each
other said Burnett and she moved
to Chicago to be near me We were to
gether nearly every day There seemed
however to be a constant remorse on
her part on account of the dual life she
was leading Saturday we went down
town together and after having several
drinks she proposed suicide to me and
we went to the Marlborough hotel and
she produced a bottle of morphine she
had hidden in her dress
She again asked me to die with her
and I consented Then she swallowed
nearly all the contents of the bottle and
handed it to me I drank what was left
but believing that I had not taken
enough to prove fatal I tried to end my
life by sticking the hat pin through my
neck I saw this was also going to be a
failure so I turned all the gas on and
laid down to die
Burnett stated that his wife knew
nothing of his attachment for Mrs
Nichol
A policeman who was sent to the
Nichol home at 6518 Minerva avenue
tonight to notify Mr Nichol of the
tragedy found no one there but the two
little children of the dead woman one a
boy of eight and the other a little girl of
four years They told the policeman
that their father was out looking for
their mother who had been missing all
last night and today
Nashville Tenn Oct 20 Nothing
is known here of Dr Burnett connected

jr at Chicago

A Shoup connected with the university
of the south at Sewanee Tenn and be
fore her marriage was popular socially
both there and in Nashville where she
spent part of her time
W L Nichol jr is the son of the late
Dr W L Nichol of Nashville one of
the souths prominent physicians He
is at present commercial agent at Chica

Louis railway but had recently been
promoted and was to return to Nashville
at an early date to assume the duties of
