Big Store, M AGED 'SISTERS ARE Hi dead Miss Isabel Ri*chsc Hanged Her self After Discovering Miss Frances's Death MAiiY PUZZLING FEATURES Ii! CASE Found Lying on the Floor of the Kitcuen with a Pillow Under K < Head—Ten Feet Away was the Body of the Other Sister. Newark, N. J., Dec. 21.- No more 1 puzzling tragedy h:;d come before the authorities here tluui that which con fronted them with the discovery of the bodies of Miss Frances and Miss Isabel Kitclne, sisters, eac!i more than iiij years old, who had liv. ,i alone to gether for almost twenty yeais in the two-story frame house N'o. 15 Marshall street. When the police broke into the m house, nothing having been seen of cither of the sisters i.iu e Saturday, December 11, the body of .Miss Fran- Ices was found lying uu the floor of the kitchen. There was a pillow under I the head. The body lay in a peaceful and natural attitude. Ten feet away was the body of the other sister. It was half-kneeling betide the door, to the knob of which a short piece of clothes line had been tied. The other end was knotted around the neck. It 1 was plain death had come to Miss Isa- I bel by hanging and strangulation. A pair of eyeglasses she was accustomed to use when writing or sewing still I was in position. It at first was thought Frances at j least Inlg.lt have died a natural death, and that grief had led Isabel to com mit suicide when she realised she had lost the sister who had been her life long companion. But when tin* bodies were examined in the morgue there was found about the neck of Frances a mark that seemed to show she also had met her death by hanging; and, more startling still, further examina tion revealed in the breast of Frances a hatpin about eight inches long, which had been driven clear through the heart. All theory of a double murder was discarded early by the police, for rhe two spinsters had no enerules —indeed, the lonely pair had no fri lids, except the pastor of the church which they had attended every Sunday for a score of years and nothing about the place was disturbed to indicate rob t>e;—. Afier pi", lonviirg an autopsy, Dv McK. azie, the County Physician, announce,i t'at his oflicial report would be double suicide; but lie ad a : rd t'lef - were many puzzling feat ures in the case. ;-irange ns any feature in the case was the discovery in the bioast of I-: : .
