Snake Charmer Grace Moreland Dies by Her Own Hand

Grace Moreland, a snake charmer with the Miller Carnival, is found dead in a Boise hotel room with chloroform and a note saying Be sure I am dead before you bury me. The death follows the drowning of balloonist R J O Donnell linked to the carnival. Police and coroner investigate motive amid grief and fear of public scandal. Moreland, once seen as popular yet reserved, had ties to O Donnell and lived with her grandmother in Portland Oregon.
