SUICIDE IN GRINNELL

A young married woman of Davenport, Mrs. Edna Riley, committed suicide Tuesday in Grinnell. She was staying at the home of Mrs. M.A. Sears and was about to leave for Davenport to join her husband. Her parents live in Newton and she was related to J.W. Norris of Grinnell. She left two letters but the only reason given for the act was that she had gone all to pieces.
