Colorado Spring, Colo., Aug. 1. The
coroner's Jury In the Laura Matthews
cae returned the following verdict:
"We, the Jury empanelled to Inquire
into the rnuae of death of Laura Mat
thewa. find that she came to her death
from gunshot wounds Inflicted with sui
cidal Intent."
Coroner Richardson thinks- that the
girl unrequited love for Coey caused
ner to take her life. lie also expressed
the opinion that Rumbaugh was gullt-lt-aa
of connection with the girl's destli
and committed suicide as the sequel to
hard drinking and grief at her fats, as
he was Infatuated with her.
Dua to TareqaJted Zovs.
The concluding testimony went to I
lhrv I hat U I ILf Atth-awat MmMltt.il I
! suicide through love for Charles A. 1
Coey. the wealthy Chicago automobile .
manufacturer. Letters from Coey were
rpitd showing that he entertained deep
affection for her and often sent her
money.
Miss Green testified that Rumbaugh
told her that after Laura had disclosed
to him her relatione with Coey aha sud
denly drew a revolver and attempted to
shoot heraelf. Rumbaugh wrested the
pistol from her. Rumbaugh also told
Mini Green that he and Miss Matthews
had determined to marry and go abroad.
Rumbaugh had engaged a aectlon in a
Pullman for himself and Mlas Mat
thews and they were to leave for K'ew
York on Monday. '
Thinks It waa Murder.
Chicago developments show that Dr.
Harold K. Thomas of Chicago paid Mlas
Matthews' room rent In luxuriously fur
nished apartments at 4313 Greenwood
street.
Charlea A. Coey makes the following
statement:
"I believe that Miss Matthews' death
Is a plain case of murder. In my opin
ion. Rumbaugh committed the deed and
sent a telegram calculated to cast sus
picion on me as being the cause of tha
girl's death. About lw daya ago I wrote
Miss Mstthews a cheerful letter, anj
she waa talking of returning to Chi
cago. Rumbaugh was evidently afraid
of losing Ue girl."
DevelopaJanta show that Rumbaugh
deserted his wife and family in Penn
sylvania because of infatuation for
Mtsa Matthews.
