POISON FOUND AFTER S. A. GIRL DIES.
Visitor in Home of Friend Becomes Suddenly Stricken
Evelyn Boatwright, 16 year-old school girl, is dead.
Without regaining consciousness, she died at 5:20 o'clock Thursday afternoon, within 40 minutes after being found by Mrs. John Coggin and Mary Freund, a chum, of 915 Guenther Street, in a state of coma at the home of the former, 315 Garden street.
The girl's screams attracted her friends to the room where they had left her a few minutes before. Unable to explain the cause of her condition, they rushed her to the Robert B. Green Hospital.
Detective A. A. Hartman reached the scene of the tragedy shortly after the trip to the hospital had begun. He found a small vial, which evidently had contained poison, in the hallway of the Coggin home.
Miss Boatwright, whose parents live at the intersection of the Concepeion Road and Mitchell Avenue, and Miss Freund left their home for a conventional social call with Mrs. Coggin.
Through apparently perturbed and worried, the school girl conversed gaily at time with her companions, according to the information given the detective. Later, however, the detective learned, the two girls discussed a youth, who was the friend of both.
Her friends left her in the room alone and retired to another part of the house. Shortly afterward, her screams brought them to her.
