Woman in New York Tries Suicide Then Consumes Chloroform
Lulu B. Grover of New York, a 45 year old describes herself as a magazine writer, was found unconscious at her Lexington Avenue apartment and rushed to a hospital where she remained in critical condition after taking chloroform. Police suspect she is the former Mrs Grover who was ordered from the White House before the Roosevelt Longworth wedding and later sought to see the President. A will addressed to President Roosevelt asks cremation of her body and says all she has is his, with kittens to be cared for until then.
