REPUDIATED HER IN DEATH.
Man Claiming to Be Husband of Sui-
cide Shows Indifference.
Mrs. Maude Bearden was taken to the emergency hospital last night suffering from the effects of carbolic acid, which she took with suicidal intent She died within twenty minutes.
Soon after a man called at the hospital and said that he was the woman's husband.
"Where was her home?"
"Her parents live at Osceola, Mo.," said the man.
"Where did she live here?"
"I don't know and I don't care."
"Do you want to take charge of the body?"
"I do not."
And the man who said he was the husband left the station. It was learned that Mrs. Bearden had been living at 510 Central street. She was seen standing at Fifth and Central streets at 8 o'clock last night by G. E. Ritchey, a saloon man. He saw her raise a bottle to her lips. He ran toward her, but it was too late. She had swallowed about three ounces of carbolic acid. Mrs. Bearden was 28 years old.
