         She Preferred Death
         
         ANNIE DAVIS, who lived at No. 206 North Spruce
       street, and who took laudanum, Tuesday evening,
       for the purpose of committing suicide, died at
       7 o'clock yesterday morning. Deputy Coroner M. S.
       Combs held an inquest and a verdict of suicide
       rendered. The woman had been arrested on Tuesday
       upon the charge of stealing a sum of money from
       a gentleman, and was arraigned before one of the
       magistrates on Deaderick street. A continuance
       of the case was had until Wednesday, and it is
       supposed that fear of punishment led her to com-
       mit suicide.
