TOUND DEAD IN BED.
Heart Disease Supposed to Have
Caused Mis. O'Neill's Death.
John O'Neill, a stcelwotker, tcturned
yeslf-idny morning fiom his night's
work nnd found his wife dead In bed.
It is thought she died fiom .1 disease
of the heart
O'Neill Is employed nt the South mill.
His home Is on PIttston avi-tiiie near
the clt line. When he reached (ho
hoiio yesteulay morning he pounded
long and loud at the door befoie It was
opened by the eldest of his tluee .chil
dren, a gill il years old Ho thought
It strange that bis wife was not out
ot bed but supposed she hud overslept.
He Ieaineil fiom the children that they
had not seen hei,
O'Neill went at once to his wife's
bed. A glance- and a touch showed him
th" palor and the cold that proclaims
the presence of death. In hopes that
there might be some chance to resus
citate her, be summoned a physician.
It was his opinion that the woman bad
been dead snvoial boms and had died
peacefully while sleeping
On Tuesda,- evening Mis. O'Neill vis
ited some neighbors, They saw noth
ing to Indicate that she was in othe
than the best ot health and spirits It
was bald yesteulay that sho nad been
subject to slight attacks of heart
trouble but the rorrectness of the
Btatement has not been verified.
Coroner Longstreet was not Informed
of Mrs. O'Neill's death until during the
evening und not then by the famllv or
the physician. He thought the casi
warranted Investigation and will look
Into It toduy, although it has not been
snld that death was due to other than
natural causes. It Is possible that tho
coroner will perform an autopsy

and admitting the rebuttal evidence of
OITlcer Dyer; In not compelling tho com
monwealth to call all the eye-witnesses

which comment was ihade on the mat
ter of uncommunlcatcd threats, the law
of flelf-defense and In the bpeeih to tho
