Portland Man Refuses His Money For Her Funeral
Husband From Whom Mrs. Willia Biggerstaff Was Seperated Saves Suicide From 
Pauper's Grave
Boise,Idaho,OCT.19-(Special)- Mrs.William Biggerstaff died here yesterday as a 
result of poison taken with suicidal intent. The poison was taken about a week 
before her death.She was a daughter of C.Fielder,of Portland,who is understood 
to be well off.
The woman was seperated from her husband,that being the cause of her 
suicide.The husband would not take any interest in the case and the Chief of 
Police wired her father asking if he would furnish money for funeral expenses. 
The father refused. The Boise Chief then wired the Chief in Portland,asking him 
to explain the case to the father and ask him to bury the girl to prevent her 
going to a pauper's grave.
Today Chief Johnson received a dispatch from the Portland Chief saying the 
father would do nothing. The husband has since taken hold and will for 
internment tomorrow.
