Young Mother Takes Her Life
Greenwich, Conn. (AP) A young mother, wife of New York lawyer, a patient at a sanitarium here, escaped from her nurse at a beauty parlor yesterday, police were told, and threw herself in front of an express train. She was killed instantly.
The woman was identified as Mrs. Susan [sic] T. Alexander, 27 of Bernardsville, N. J. recently under care at Blythewood Sanitarium for a nervous disorder. Coroner John Clark declared her death a suicide after finding a note on the back of a check.
On the reverse side of a check bearing the name Archibald S. Alexander the woman had written: "Archie, Darling, I am incurable. Therefore death is better than being a perpetual drag on the children. Forgive me and take care of the children so that nothing like this will happen to them."
