Death by chloroform and a theater woman linked to a Seattle murder case
On Wednesday evening Wm. Evatt a twenty one year old printer was found dead in his room. An inquest ruled death by chloroform with suicidal intent amid a story tying Evatt to Ray Winters a theater performer. A photograph of the woman was found near his heart and she was identified as Winters who described a troubled affair and jealousy that led to the alleged self destruction. The article notes Evatt had recently quarreled with Winters and sought money from his parents in Lawrence Kansas. The details include a Tivoli meeting and a dramatic confrontation in a theater box.
