THE BEE: OMAHA, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1919.
GIRL KILLS SELF,
LEAVING NOTE TO
STRAYINGJ.OVER
Say Louella Mclntire Was
Estranged From, Sweet
heart Because of Another
, Woman.
Said to be estranged from her
sweetheart because of another wom
rr., Louella Salley Mclntire, 24 years
old, committed suicide by gas as
rjiyxiation in her room at 1918 Cass
street, Sunday night. Her body was
found at 8 yesterday morning by
Ben Turpen and Chris Suager,
roomers at the same place. ,
A jet of a small gas stove in the
mom was found open and the place
filled with gas. The windows of the
room were closed tightly. Accord
ing to Police Surgeon Edstrom, the
girl had been dead for four hours.
A farewell nqte inscribed on the
back of a picture of the dead girl,
told a story of the estrangement of
her sweetheart. It read:
Note to Sweetheart,
i "Ray:. Write me soon. I don't
Care to see you but would like to
get a letter, Ray. I don't love you
any more and goodbye, if I never
see you agairj. Love is stiying with
me. If you 'care to see me,' come
to 1918 Cass street.
"Louella Salley Mclntire."
Letters found in the girl's trunk
indicated that she had come to Oma
ha from Meno, Okl.
Police say the girl became de
spondent through the unrequited
love of her former sweetheart,
known as "Ray." '
Can't Locate Man.
Efforts to locate him through de
scriptions given out by 'acquaint
ances of Miss Mclntire were in vain.
The "other woman" mentioned
in the triangular love affair is Lena
Lemzer, a former room-mate of the
Mclntire girl, police say. Officers
were finable to locate the Lemzer
girl.
At the request of other roomers
at 1918 Cass street Mrs. Eva Ben
nett, landlady of the place, inter
fered with the quarrels of the Lem
zer and the Mclntire girls over the
man "Ray," according to police.
Says Girls Quarreled.
Mrs. Phil Silkett, a close
acquainance of the Mclntire girl,
says trouble arose between the
Lemrer and the Mclntire girls last
week because "Ray left his sweet
heart and went with the other."
Mrs. Toney Major, another
acquaintance of the dead girl, said:
"I heard loud talking in the Mcln
tire girl's rom last night between
her and Miss Lemzer. They were
arguing over 'Ray.' The Mclntire
girl accused Miss Lemzer of vamp
ing her sweetheart. It was at a late
hour that Miss Lemzer lef,t the
room."
, Say She Was Married. .
Police say the Mclntire girl had
been married to a man named Sal
ley in Wellington, Kan. Several
letters found in the dead girl's room
were addressed "Miss' Louella Mc
lntire." Others were addressed
"Mrs. Louella t Salley Mclntire. '
Mrs. Bennett told police she has
known the girl several weeks as
"Miss Mclntire."
Two days ago, following a quar
rel between the Mclntire and the
Lemzer girl in their room on the
first floor at 1918 Cass street, police
say the landlady sought to reconcile
them, and, having failed, asked the
Lemzer girl to leave the place. Miss
Mclntire was given a room on the
third floor.
; The fatheof the dead girl visited
with her two days ago, roomers at
the place said. Police notified the
girl's family at Meno, of her death,
The body was taken in charge by
N. P. Swanson, undertaker, Sev
enteenth and Cuming street.
SUGGEST PLAN TO
HOUSE IDLE- MEN
IN CITY AUDITORIUM
Mayor Believes Railroads Are
Confiscating Coal Consigned
to Omaha.
The city commissioners yesterday
instructed Mayor Smith to take up
wim tne naniucr ui v.uuiukh.s mw
problem of housing men who, be
cause of being throw-out of work
are about to lose their rooms be
cause of inability to pay rent.
It it proposed to heat the city
Auditorium and put cots there to
take care of these men. The danger
of having a large body of idle men
in the community was pointed out.
, Another view expressed was that
regular jobs and are temporarily
out of work because of the coal
shortage, would not take advantage
of the community housing but that
this would attract only the chronic
loafers.
"Eight men were called for work
with the garbage contractor Monday
with steady work," said Commis
lioner Zimman, "and only one could
be secured out of all the men who
had applied to the employment
igency in the city hall."
