Wetzel, wife of Mr. Fred Wetzel, 318 North Maltby avenue extended, Brambleton, committed suicide Tuesday night about 8:30 o'clock by taking opium. The deceased left two letters, one to her husband and one to the public, stating that the act was the result of family trouble and exonerating her husband from all blame. Dr. H.T. Batts was summoned to her relief, but too late to save her life, as the drug had been taken about twelve hours before he arrived on the scene. Justice Hawks, of the county, summoned a jury of inquest, who, after viewing the remains, rendered a verdict of suicide. Mrs. Wetzel was 21 years of age. The funeral will take place from the residence at 11 a.m. today.
