Former Police Chief Buried—Abscess on the Brain, Writes Widow, Was Cause of Death.  J. W. HEADLEE, who died last week in his old home at Whatcheer, Iowa, was buried yesterday afternoon, laid to rest in the plot where other members of his family are interred.

T. K. HEADLEE today received a letter from the widow of the dead chief of police, stating that the end came, not as a result of any accident attached to his trip to Milwaukee, but from a long standing cause.

The day J. W. HEADLEE arrived in Whatcheer he was in excellent health and spirits, so he told members of his family.  In the afternoon he complained of feeling ill, and while at dinner suddenly left the table, saying he was going blind.  Delirium set in and Chief HEADLEE was in a paralyzed condition forty-nine hours.

Attending physicians asserted that the cause of death was an abscess in Chief HEADLEE’s brain.   A diagnosis of the case, writes the widow, shows that the trouble was long standing.   J. W. HEADLEE, who was 49 years old last October, is survived by a widow, three daughters and one son.

The final account and petition for distribution of the estate of Hannah M. DUNSTAN, deceased, will be heard April 5, at 9:30.

Maybe a Suicide: Again, Maybe Not.   Word received from Seattle last night told of the finding of papers and a bank book belonging to Rudolph A. NEWMAN, of 3021 Rucker avenue, that were lying on Pier No. 1, together with a note explaining that he was tired of life.  The natural conclusion reached was that NEWMAN, who at one time was a clerk employed by L. FISHER in Everett, had jumped overboard.

Yesterday afternoon Mrs. NEWMAN called at the First National bank to ascertain whether her husband had drawn his funds from the institution.  Rules of banking refused the wife the knowledge she sought.   Mrs. NEWMAN made the statement that she wanted to know as a means of reconciling her mind as to whether NEWMAN drowned himself or merely ran away.   She said he had disappeared from home several days ago.

Because NEWMAN is said to have withdrawn $560 from the bank last week the Seattle police are inclined to believe he did not jump from Pier No. 1.

Granite Falls—Mary St. LEGER, one of Granite Falls’ oldest pioneer women, passed away at her home on the Stillaguamish river, near Granite Falls.  The funeral was held at BAKEMAN’s undertaking parlors in Snohomish at 2 o’clock Monday afternoon.

Mrs. Mary Frances SHARP died at the age of 80 years at the home of her daughter, Mrs. H. P. JONES, 1717 Bellevue avenue, Seattle, where she had been ill for the last seven months.  She was born at Hartford, Conn., in June, 1833, and went to Waukesha county, Wisconsin, at an early age.  She married George SHARP at Vernon, Wisconsin, in January, 1852, and came to Everett in June, 1906, since which time she had lived at her home near Lowell.   Mrs. SHARP leaves two daughters, Mrs. W. S. SCOFIELD and Mrs. H. P. JONES of Seattle, and two sons, Edwin H. SHARP of Northfield, Minn., and Edgar A. SHARP of Williston, N. D.   The funeral was held at JERREAD’s undertaking parlors this afternoon at 2 o’clock.

Pilchuck Mary Has White Man’s Burial—Flowers and All Civilized Rites Accorded Aged Indian Woman. Special to Daily Herald. Snohomish, March 4—The funeral of Pilchuck Mary, who was legally Mrs. Mary St. LEGER, was held yesterday afternoon, and like so many of her tribe, she was buried according to the white man’s rites and had a “fine” funeral.   A beautiful drab plush coffin enclosed the remains of this Indian woman, who in early pioneer days was among the Pilchuck tribe who welcomed the pioneers to this valley;  Rev. A. B. Van ZANTE of the Presbyterian church, delivered a beautiful funeral address.  The coffin was covered with cut flowers.  The services were held in BAKEMAN & PURDY’s chapel, and from there the remains were taken to the old town cemetery on the banks of the Pilchuck, to be laid beside near relatives who had gone before.

Mary, like her white sisters, had her sorrows, one being the loss of her son, 35 years ago, in a hotel that burned on First street.   He was a river driver and was a full grown man at that time, which would show that Mary could not have been less than 74 or 75 years old.   Mary was probably the last survivor still on this river, of the old Pilchuck tribe, for though Pilchuck Julia is still living, and deeply mourns Mary’s death, Julia was a White River Indian who intermarried with the Pilchuck tribe, Pilchuck Jack having brought her here when a young woman.

The funeral of William MURPHY was conducted yesterday morning from St. Michael’s Catholic Church, Rev. A. T. Van der WALLE officiating.

Body, Grasping Knife in Hand, Is Discovered.  Found Floating Near Clinton by the Steamer Camano This Morning.  Identified as that of Andrew BJORKLUND.  Left Home Early Sunday Morning—Apparently a Case of Suicide. The body of Andrew BJORKLUND, a Scandinavian shoemaker, missing since Sunday morning, was picked up by the crew of the steamer Camano this morning, floating in the bay about one and one-quarter miles east of Clinton.  Clasped in the right hand was a knife with which the man apparently had severed the main artery of the left wrist before jumping into the bay from some unknown point on the waterfront. The knife fell back into the water when the body was pulled aboard the steamer.

Mr. and Mrs. BJORKLUND formerly occupied housekeeping rooms at 2929 Federal street, where they were stopping temporarily when Mr. BJORKLUND disappeared but they have resided at Seattle for several months.   Suffering from the effects of over indulgence in liquor, according to friends, he came to Everett last Friday to escape from imaginary enemies who threatened his life.   His former landlord sent him back home the next day and he was met at the boat by his wife.  He insisted on returning to Everett and Mrs. BJORKLUND accompanied him.  They took a room at their old home and after passing a restless night Mr. BJORKLUND arose about 6:30 a.m. and left the house, wearing only his underclothing, trousers and socks.

The police were notified yesterday of his disappearance and Mrs. BJORKLUND left for home this morning on the boat that departed as the Camano, bringing the body of her husband, was landing at the same wharf.

Mr. BJORKLUND attempted suicide while working in Everett last summer, and afterwards, while suffering from delirium tremens, jumped from a second story window of Providence hospital and broke a leg. He was 35 years of age.

News of the finding of her husband’s body was sent to Mrs. BJORKLUND when their friends here were notified by the Herald, and she will arrive this afternoon to arrange for the funeral.

An uncle of the unfortunate man lives in Everett, and a brother in Vancouver.

Dies in El Paso; Search for Heirs.  Karl RADEKE, a former resident of Snohomish county, died recently at El Paso, Texas, leaving a small fortune at that place and over in Mexico.  Attorneys state [illegible] relatives there, but from his Mexican companions they learned that he had relatives living in or near Everett.   He was married when he left for the South several years ago.

Baby is Cremated in Burning House. Winlock, March 8.—The 1-year-old child of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas COUPE was burned to death here yesterday.  The child was alone in the house with a little brother and sister 3 and 4 years old, the mother having gone to the grocery store.

It is not known how the fire started, but it is supposed that the children were playing with fire.

Mr. COUPE saw the house in flames, and rushing home entered the burning structure.  His face and hands were badly burned in rescuing the two older children.   Before he could return the house was destroyed.

A stipulation was filed today relative to disposition of property belonging to the estate of Mary Juackilmie St. LEDGER, the aged Pilchuck squaw who died in Snohomish a few days ago.  George W.

SPITHILL, as guardian of Mary St. LEDGER.

Succumbs After a Long Illness. William MURPHY, Well Known Mill Man, Dies; Ill for Six Months. After making a gallant fight of six months for life, William MURPHY died last night at his home, 3324 Grand avenue.  In October he was stricken with a malady believed to be typhoid fever.

Arrangements for the funeral have not been announced.

Doctor Says Mrs. ANDERSON Died From Starvation. Seattle, March 26—Six witnesses were examined yesterday by the coroner’s jury at the inquest into the death of Mrs. Ida ANDERSON, said to be a victim of a fast cure.   Dr. Linda Burfield HAZZARD, who attended Mrs. ANDERSON during the two weeks prior to her death, was not present, and the inquest was postponed until 11 o’clock this morning when she can attend.

Dr. F. R. WHITING, the first witness called, told of holding the post-mortem examination and gave his findings.  He said in answer to Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Crawford E. WHITE’s question that to the best of his belief death was due to starvation.  The alum found in the stomach of the dead woman by the examining chemist was not of sufficient quantity to cause death, he said.

F. A. IVERSON, brother of Mrs. ANDERSON, said that he saw his sister last on March 17, two days before she died, and that at that time she told him she was taking osteopathic treatments from Dr. HAZZARD, and was dieting but not fasting.

Much testimony adduced by Mr. IVERSON related to a baby belonging to Mrs. ANDERSON, who at one time was given a fast cure and nearly starved to death.  The statements relating to the baby had no bearing on the case and Dr. HAZZARD’s attorney, George A. GREGORY, of the firm of KARR & GREGORY, objected vigorously when the examination of IVERSON was finished.

“Mrs. HAZZARD does not know that I am acting for her here, for the reason that she was not made aware of the inquest in time to be present, but it seems to me as if this inquest is in the [illegible] of a probe into a baby’s illness and not to determine the facts surrounding the death of Mrs. ANDERSON.”  Further testimony regarding other cases in which Mrs. HAZZARD has figured were excluded from the record.  J. F. LOUCKS, a chemist who acted for Louis RUBENSTEIN, told of the quantity of alum found by him.

Forty Pounds Under Weight—R. J. McLAUGHLIN, 1521 Fifteenth avenue, told of the period that Mrs. ANDERSON was at his home prior to going to the University hospital.  At that time, he said, Mrs. ANDERSON was cared for by Miss June OAKES, a nurse, and it was his opinion that Miss OAKES was allied with Dr. HAZZARD.  He said Mrs. ANDERSON refused to eat while the nurse was around, and that baby could not eat.

Mrs. E. W. BIRCHARD, proprietor of the University hospital, testified that Mrs. ANDERSON was forty pounds under normal weight when she went to her place, February 1.   Mrs. ANDERSON gained several pounds under her treatment, she said.

With the exception of Dr. HAZZARD and Miss OAKES, Deputy Prosecuting Attorney WHITE announced that he had proceeded with the testimony as far as he could.   At this point Mr. GREGORY asked to have the testimony of Mrs. R. A. MURPHY taken.

Mrs. MURPHY is manager of the Georgian hotel café, 1422 Fourteenth avenue, and an associate of Dr. HAZZARD.   She told of the number of times Mrs. ANDERSON appeared at her place every day to eat and of what she ate.   Mrs. MURPHY also said that Dr. HAZZARD had treated Mrs. ANDERSON in her room in the Georgian hotel on making her visits to Seattle, and that at no time did Dr. HAZZARD give other treatment or advice than that of osteopathy.

Mrs. ANDERSON Died of Starvation Is Verdict of Jurors.  Coroner’s Jury Decides After Examining Dr. HAZZARD and Miss OAKES. Woman Doctor Denies Prescribing Fast Cure. Seattle, March 27—Mrs. Ida ANDERSON, wife of George ANDERSON, the Stanwood banker, came to her death as the result of starvation, was the verdict of the coroner’s jury yesterday. Mrs. ANDERSON died at the Raleigh hotel, March 20.

Miss June OAKES, nurse, and Dr. Linda Burfield HAZZARD were the only witnesses examined yesterday.

Miss OAKES testified that she did not call a physician when she arrived at Mrs. ANDERSON’s room because she was requested not to do so by Mrs. ANDERSON.  Miss OAKES was alone with her at the time she died, and notified the undertaker to take the body and informed the husband, who was staying at the Butler hotel.

Miss OAKES stated that she was with Mrs. ANDERSON at 3 o’clock in the morning of January 1 when she left her home in Stanwood to go to Tacoma.  She went along, she said, in the capacity of nurse and for the purpose of protecting Mrs. ANDERSON against the ignorance of her relatives, which upon questioning brought out the fact that Mrs. ANDERSON’s relatives were against her taking a fast cure.  At that time Miss OAKES said she was told by Mrs. ANDERSON that she had taken a fast of ten days in the search of a cure for an acute nervous trouble.  She knew nothing further as to who had advised the cure, and said she did not know and did not believe that Dr. HAZZARD had advised her at that time to fast.  Later testimony on this point was brought out by Dr. HAZZARD when she said on the stand that she had refused to prescribe a fast cure for Mrs. ANDERSON, as her physical condition was not such that she could do so.

Miss OAKES was asked by Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Crawford E. WHITE regarding the period spent by her in Mrs. ANDERSON’s room between the time of her death and when the undertaker called an hour later.  To this Miss OAKES replied that she had packed up Mrs. ANDERSON’s belongings. She was asked regarding a diamond brooch and other diamond jewelry. Miss OAKES said she had seen none.  Miss OAKES said she believed that Mrs. ANDERSON had died of grief and not starvation.

Dr. HAZZARD stated, when called to testify, that she had refused to take the responsibility of offering a fast cure and had refused it when asked for by Mrs. ANDERSON.  She had given Mrs. ANDERSON none other than osteopathic treatments, she said.

Deputy Prosecuting Attorney WHITE asked Dr. HAZZARD if her license to practice had not been revoked but before she answered her attorney, George W. GREGORY, interposed with an objection and the question was not answered.

At one point of the interrogation of Miss OAKES the attitude of the two attorneys was warlike, and Coroner Tate MASON assumed the office of mediator.

Coroner Investigates Death of Mrs. BAILEY. Bremerton, March 27. Coroner Fred R. LEWIS, Sheriff Howard SHATTUCK, Deputy County Attorney MORFORD and Dr. T. C. BALDWIN returned yesterday from the sanitarium of Mrs. Linda Burfield HAZZARD, at Olalla, where they investigated the death of Mrs. Mary T. BAILEY.   Coroner LEWIS, after an investigation had been made by the physician, decided to bring the body to Port Orchard, where an inquest will be held today.

While the investigation surrounding the circumstances of the death of the woman was being made, Dr. HAZZARD was in Seattle as a witness in the case now being investigated there, and the sanitarium was in charge of G. E. WEISS and Mrs. F. J. MOORE.

So far as could be learned the deceased was a woman of 61 years of age and had been an inmate of Mrs. HAZZARD’s institution since last November.   Prior to that she had been under the care of Mrs. HAZZARD and dieted under her direction.

In the room of the deceased were a number of books on theosophy and occultism.

Among the effects were found the pages of a chart of her diet.  They showed about the same substantial meals of soup, lemonade and lettuce leaves as the WILLIAMSON girls were said to have consumed.   Mrs. MOORE and Mr. WEISS both insisted that during the time she had been in the institution she had not fasted, but that she had been on the regular diet and taken the internal baths, which were so prominent a part of the treatment.

In one of the entries in the chart, written by Mrs. BAILEY, appeared a plaintive note, after days of soup.  She wrote: “I got so hungry today and wanted some fruit.   I am so tired of soup.  But I suppose I will have to await your sanction.” In another place she told of a craving for some other food, and said: “Was I naughty?”

Takes Own Life In Lodging House. Oscar DAVIDSON Commits Suicide; Leaves Letter to Brother. Oscar DAVIDSON, a brother-in-law of W. H. DAVIS, proprietor of the Owl pharmacy, killed himself yesterday by sending a 38-caliber bullet through his head in his lodgings, 3029 Broadway.  Coroner MAULSBY believes the young man committed his rash act at 3 p.m., though the tragedy was not discovered until 7:30 p.m.

DAVIDSON was an employe of the Standard laundry.  Formerly he had acted as a conductor on the interurban line.  He was a member of the Moose and Odd Fellows’ lodges.  The following letter was left by the suicide, addressed to A. W. DAVIDSON, of Ripley, Ohio:

“Dear Brother: I write you three months ago; asked a favor; so far I have not even had a refusal to my request.  I feel as if I am ignored.  When this reaches you I will be dead.  I wrote you three times.   I bear you no malice, as you have been a friend to me, but as I now am I feel I have no friends, so I am tired of living.

“I have made mistakes which have been my misfortune.  I trust my good qualities will overcome my evil ones.  Pay no attention to any telegrams which you may receive from this place.  Let me die and be buried as I have lived, without friends.

“With malice towards none, charity for all. Your brother, Oscar.”
