Took Bichloride Tablets

As the result of taking bichloride of mercury, with suicidal intent, following 
“some words” with her husband as she later admitted, Mrs. Emma T. Bingaman died 
in the Chambersburg hospital.

She was the wife of Robert Bingaman, employed by the Chambersburg Engineering 
company, and a former resident of near Orrtanna, Adams county.

Mrs. Bingaman had been employed for the last few weeks as waitress at the Miller 
hotel, Chambersburg, and was in seeming good health until she took the poison.
