SUICIDE PACT
Remorseful Girls Attempt to Take Lives In Lonely Spot
Drinking poison as a result of a night of revelry, Miss Irene Wyatt, of Jamestown, is now dead, and Mrs. Catherine Duzan, of Pittsboro, seriously ill.
The girls left Jamestown on the 2:38 Ben Hur car Sunday afternoon. Miss Wyatt, a 16 years old orphan, had been living with her sister, Mrs. Pink Robbins, for the last four years and has always had a good reputation in Jamestown. Mrs. Duzan did not live with her husband but for the past three weeks had been employed as a domestic in the home of Lester Nolan, of Jamestown.
The girls drank the poison a mile and a half north of Riverside Park, one of the most deserted spots near Indianapolis, Monday afternoon, and were found later in the day. The police had previously started a search on the instigation of relatives. Two prominent Indianapolis young men are now under surveillance by the police department. Miss Wyatt was dead when found and Mrs. Duzan who was taken to the City hospital, was believed to be dying but has since been taken to her home in Pittsboro and will recover. The funeral services of Miss Wyatt were from her sister's home in Jamestown, Wednesday afternoon. She is survived by one sister and two brothers, Thomas and Russell.
