Stephens Ends Life With Gas After Struggle Between Loyalty to "Healer" and Church. Efforts to Conceal Case. New York, April 20. After every ef fort had been made to conceal the fact. It has been learned that Miss Marion Stephens, tortured by her struggles with her sense of duty and her loyalty to Mrs. Augusta Stetson, the excom municated leader of the First Church of Christ. Scientist, and one of the most successful "healers" of the church, killed herself with gas last Saturday night In the npartments of her sister, Mrs. Weeks, at 520 West One Hundred and Eleventh street. Her death was reported to Coroner Felnberg, but so far he has taken no action. "Threo days ago," said an Intimate friend of Miss Stephens, "Marion came to nie and said, 'I cannot stand this awful pressure any longer. It follows me day and night. I love the church, but something keeps holding me to Mrs. Stetson. If I cannot break up that Influence one way or the other I shall take gas ami kill myself.' " Though the death of Miss Stephens was reported as a suicide, and there fore lu ordinary course of events a coroner's permit would be needed be fore her body could be removed, It was said that her body had been removed to her home, which was in Tonnwandn. for burial. Coroner Feinberg's clerks said that he had Issued no permit. Following the death of Harry P. Toler, the Wall street broker, athlete and Christian Scientist, whose suicide shocked the whole Christian Science community a year ago and was .attrib uted to what Sirs. Stetson's opponents called "malicious aulmul magnetism," the suicide of Miss Stephens created a tremendous sensation when it was whispered about the church. The of ficers of the church and the few re maining adherents of .Mrs. Stetson whn worship In the Central Park West temple united In endeavoring to keep the news from the papers. Miss Stephens wns one of the first prominent members of the First church to rebel against Mrs. Stetson, but later resumed her allegiance to the deposed leader. She took no active part In the. battle Iu the church which resulted In the deposition of Mrs. Stetson by Mother Mary Glover Baker Eddy. Miss Stephens was very much distressed by the schism in the church and went to Elmira, N. Y.. where she lived with sister. BASEBALL SCORES. Results of Games Played In National and American Leagues.
