Jessie Overton Culbertspn'B life ended in' mystery jus it had been lived for years. The bride of three months, believed to have bri murdered; 'the police are now convinced, killed herself, and those who had known her In tiraately assert that the mysterious circumstances attending her taking off were In. keeping with, her character. Her husband today is seeking to trace her antecedents; lie has telephoned, to doctors with whom Mrs. Oulbertspn.

had been associated as a surse, iand her personal for information Concerning her family. Mrs. Culbertson often spoke of a 'brother, a Doctor Overton, who, she said, resided In Texas. He has not yet been located, but hi? whereabouts the police etpect to learn today. Chief of Police Evans, after a 'conference with Coroner Beckes this morning, declared that he Is no longer seeking evidence that the woman was murdered.

Other Woman Located, Coroner Beckes, when he learned that the woman suspected of Implication In the crime had been found in Chicago, said. he was 'ready to proceed with the inquest, It will be resumed at That Mrs Culbertson attempted on a previous occasion to take her life has been reported to the police.

"When I heard she 'na. dead, I was convinced that she had filled herself, and the. way she did It was just like Jessie Overton. Slei. certainly would have choaea mysturlous way to.

do it. 'I never heird her talk about her antecedents. She said her rather and brother 'lived lfl Texas, neyer told me where. Both, she said, were physicians: 1 know that thtre mysttiri Its her life that troubled, her. She wr.s often despondent.

Coroner Beckes is planning to compare the handwriting on the threatening letters displayed by Mrs. Culbert gon with her own. None of these letters was received in the mall. All were founrt. tacked In corners of the house, and when she found them some member of the household always was the last, letter was found In a window shutter, as though some one had passed the house and ticked it there mysteriously.

Chief Evans, who las made a superficial comparison of the writing believes that Mrs. Culbertson wjote the threatening missives to herself. Mrs. Culbertson, It was learned today, was in possession, of the mina ture skull 'and cross bones, found with her when she was discovered: in the Shed, for many months. When she lived at the home ot William Heine kamp, before her marriage, the house was' The police.

This development, together with the flndlng todajrota bolt of muslin In Mrs. Cul bertson's room, from which the bandage over her mouth was taken, are Jinks Jn the chain of evidence to support the suicide theory.

The Woman In Black. 'The mysterious woman lit black." at first thought to have been Mrs. Culbertson' murderer, police now think may exist and that she might haya knowledge of. Mrs. Cnlbeftson' past.

Fear, that something in her past might be revealed the authorities think may have been the motive.
