Obituary

CAUSED BY A FALSE LOVER
A sensational suicide occured at Redwood, Cal., on the 5th inst. The night before Louise Esslinger, aged twenty-two was married to George Wehrlin at the residence of C. Groner, her uncle. The wedding was attended by a large number of friends. At 4 o'clock she and her husband went to their residence. She refused to allow him to enter her room, and he was compelled to return to the residence of Mr. Groner to pass the remainder of the night. On again entering his house at 6 o'clock he found his wife lying dead in bed. In the bed were the grains of a crystal substance, the nature of which had not been determined. She left no letter of explanation. Mrs. Wehrlin had been in Redwood City six weeks, and was engaged to Wehrlin only four weeks. It is conjectured that a former lover in Portland, Or. , proved false to her.
