It Is partly on the hope that she might locate the insurance polloy or relatives that Mrs. Lowery has kept the body for about a' week. Tells of Her Marriage. Mrs. Lowery says Mrs. Miller told her she had married a cousin 'she 'did not love; also that a jealous woman tried to poison her on the day of her wedding. She declared the forced marriage and the attempted poisoning caused her to abandon her relatives.;' : , ' , The only" fact on which identity can be established, If It ts a fact, Is the state ment "of Mrs. Miller that she. was Tnar rled at" Ottawa, 1II. and that W-relu-t Ives , are likely there. Mrs. Miller had also said 'she Tiad "been married- three Umes, the last' marriage feeing with Charles Furst, 8120 Titus avenue, Omaha.
