SUICIDE BY A LADY: Mrs. Pinsent, the wife of Mr. J. B. Pinsent, at Buckland, Newton Abbot, Devon, and a lady of independent means, has committed suicide by taking prussic acid. She had overdrawn her account, and her brother had come to the house to see her about it. The matter, however, had been arranged with her brother when Mrs. Pinsent was sent for. Instead of going to her brother she entered her bedroom, where she was found in a dying state. At the inquest on Friday a verdict of “Suicide whilst temporarily insane” was returned.
