newspaper reporter that Kilpatrlck
had been Id love with a young woman

part to answer a niarrl ige proposal
by telephone had so discouraged hlra
that he probably decided to end it
all with self destiucllon. She is
known on the stage as Aline Hed
mond, and when seen yesterday said:
"I have all a'ong refused to see
newspaper people, because I am not
at all anxious fot the notorie ty that
this will bring upon me. Some of
the matter published in the morning
papers did me so much Injustice that
I teel I ought to talk more freclv.
Mr. Kilpatrlck, who was one of na
tures noblemen, aud myself had been
acquainted for eig' teen months. I
met him at the home of a mutual
friend. I Used lilm from the begin
ning, and I think he liked me. We
saw much of each othi r fo- almost a
year, when we had a quarrel. It is
do concern of the public what that
quarrel wns about. He made me re
peated i ffi rs of marriage and wished
me to give up the stag", but 1 dec in
ed. He ask me for a final answer
which I proml. d by telephone, but
tailed to do so until after I heard of
bis death."

The trestle where the accident oc

to jump and the bodies of all those
