MISS GARLAND SUICIDES.
A SAD TRAGEDY YESTERDAY IN WASHINGTON.
The Unfortunate Daughter of Ex-Attorney General Garland Takes Her Own Life With a Pistol.
By Southern Associated Press.
Washington, Oct. 27.—Miss Daisy Garland, aged 23 years, daughter of ex-Attorney General Garland, committed suicide at her home this afternoon by shooting herself through the heart with her father's revolver. There was nothing in the young lady's condition this morning to indicate any mental disturbance, and she conversed with the family in regard to a theatre party which she was to give tonight. Afterward she went to her room, and at luncheon time one of the family went to call her. The young lady was found lying on the floor dead. The body was still warm, indicating that the shot had been fired only a short time previously, though no one in the house heard the report. Miss Garland is the young lady who recently left home mysteriously and who was found in Baltimore three days afterward. Miss Garland's friends say that she has been subject to mental aberration, and lately has been suffering with religious melancholia.
