New Yoik. May 13. Tlx' spirit uf Dr
W. R C. l.alson, lu-r suicide liner, w
hue to rail again before MIsh Alta
Marhevka joins him In the spirit land.
It called to her early today and ihe
tried to answer It by turning on the gus.
.But her landlady. Mrs. John Washing-
ton. detected the odor of the gas In
time and defied the spirit s call.
At the Washington Heights hospital
tonight, wheie she is a prisoner aa well
as a patient. Miss Marhevka, who la a
be.tutlful Russian Jewess of only 20
years, says that the. doctor, who she In
sists Is really not dead but merely In a
transformed state, will call again, and
that when ha does, she will make sure
of Joining him.
Awaits His Call.
"The doctor was my God-man, my
'Gourah. and 1 must go to him In 8a
wadht, our spirit world," she said.
"I did no wrong. Death means noth
ing to those who have solved the prob
lem of the universe aa my Gourah and
I have solved It. The body la merely a
dwelling place for the soitl for the short
yesterday of existence."
Miss Marhevka'a views reflect the
powerful Influence over her of the Ori
ental teachings of Dr. Latson, which
extends from the time the girl was 14
years old. Only a year after the girl
Diet the doctor she was named as co
respondent In a successful divorce suit
brought by the doctor'a wife, who Is a
niece of Mrs. Robert Seaman (Nellie
Bly).
D0ubla Bui old Theory.
While Miss Marnevka sought to throw
an air of mysticism around the whole
career of herself and Latson, which.
Indeed, seemed to -be warranted, the po
lice termed the affair an attempt at
a. double suicide.
They are gradually accepting the
theory that Latson killed himself while
Jn his office Thursday night, and that
the girl tried to follow him into the
spirit land which seemed so dear to
the girl.
Scattered throughout Miss Marhevka's
rooms were bits of poetry and prose
epigrams of her own authorship, plain
ly showing the erratic state of her mind.
Among the epigrams were the follow
ing: .
"If you want to be happy, be dead."
"I would rather be abused than''
pitted."
"Knowledge is good for something,
but wisdom based on deepest life Is
best."

1 no case was on trial, to allow a non
suit. About half the evidence of Yanck-
wich was introduced, and the dismissal
was taken upon the advice of hts coun
sel. Attorneys N. H. Bloomfleld and
A. Lee. This Is. a complete vindica
tion of Judge Olson and others, against
whom Ysnckwlch Mad made the charge
that his afrcst on an embexslement
charge last December was actuated by
malicious motives.
In asking the court to dismiss the
case. Attorney Ieet said: "We have
been here two- days en this case. I have
talked with my client, and while he Is
.tenacious and not inclined to drop the
matter, I have advised him to do so. It

Yanckwlch felt he had been wronged..
His suit was. brought with the Impetu

an attempt to Injure his political fu
ture. I have advised him the result of
this case would not be satisfactory. He
has refused the last Z hours to accede
to our advice, but now accedes, and I.

Attorney Dan Malarkey. one of the
counsel for the dependants, replied that
it was not within his power or disposi
tion to resist the request of the plaint
iff, but eo far aa his clients were con
cerned, they wanted vindication, and by
the nonsuit they received It. "From
what 1 know now, Attorneys Bloomfleld
and Leat do not approve of the claims
of the plaintiff," he said. Attorneys
William Bristol, John Dogan and Rob

the reply.
I The' embezzlement charge was to the
effect that Attorney Yanckwlch collect

and turned over about $600 to them.
One of the laborers charged him with
asking him to take a little more than
hla share and leave the country, where
upon Attorney Yanckwlch would report
that the money had disappeared. The
laborer refused to do this. After the
dismissal of the embezzlement charge.
Yanckwlch started suit for $75,000
