Mary C. Bryan committed suicide by taking an overdose of laudanum last Saturday night. She separated from her husband about two years ago, and was living with another man on Shelby street up to the time of her sad death. Esquire Elliott held an inquest upon the body, and after hearing the evidence the jury returned a verdict of death by suicide. In her bedroom was found a note written on the back of an envelope, requesting that her child, aged about five years, should be taken charge of by her parents in Iowa, as she did not wish her husband (Bryan) to have charge of the child.
