Angel of Mercy Hides A Sinful Past In Brooklyn Slum
A tired woman in a Brook lyn rooming house died by her own hand after years of hiding a scandal, divorce, and small annuity from a once luxurious life. She earned sympathy from humble neighbors and protected stray animals, earning the title The Angel, while a distant memory of punishment and guilt lingered.
