When he did not put in an ap pearance she called him. He made no answer. She called again and then opened the door of the bath room. Black hall was lying dead in the tub. A short circuit from the electric Vi brator he waa using evidently caused him to drop the appliance, which fell into the water against his right aide and killed him instantly. A wide burn was left.
