DIES BY EATING
Worth $45,000, She Grabs
'Doped' Bread Left in
Restaurant by Man Intent
On Ending Own Life
By B. Allen Smith .
tTnltM Preae Staff Correspondent.
NEW YORK, July 26. (UP) A
New York woman, who, with 945,000
In the bank, spent her day In sorry
poverty rather than touch her sav--lugs,
was dead today because she un
wittingly snatched up a crust of
bread which already bad served a de
spondent man as a means to end. bis
life.
There are, many women In New
York like Lillian Rosenfleld. Women
who Inhabit dirty cellar rooms, mis
erly and mysterious In their every
movement, venturing forth at night
to beg pennies on the street, some of
them even rifling garbage cans while
their fat bank books are hidden
somewhere in their lodgings. Most
cf them are older than Lillian Rosen
field. She was only 43. But this
story properly begins with Henry
Jelllnek.
Poisons Bread
Jelllnek wss 50, an automobile
mechanic In business for himself. Of
late business had been at a standstill
with blm, and his health wm poor.
It was yesterday morning that he de
cided to kill himself.
He went to an automat restaurant
on upper Broadway a place where
patrons serve themselves by Inserting
nickels Into slots for the Items of
food they desire.
Jellluek carried a violent poison
"Tvith him. He obtained bread and
went to a balcony In the restaurant,
where the bustle is not so great.
Pouring the poison on the bread, he
ate part of It, then walked stoically
from the table to a washroom, know
ing that he would be dead In a few
minutes.
Snatches Leavings
Lillian Rosenfleld, Ill-dressed and
Haggard, was hovering nearby waiting
for soma customer to leavt his table
without consuming all his food. 6ht
spied the remainder of the bread, sat
down at the tab la and wolfed It. As
she rose to go, her morning a success,
the agony struck her. 6h whim
pered, fell to the floor and died an
hour Jater in Knickerbocker hospital.
Jelhoek already was dead la the
washroom. v
Police and the medical examiner
wer deeply purxled at first. They
found the same poison In each of the
stomachs. On learning that the ec
centric woman held all men In con
tempt, they reached the conclusion
today that her death had been acci
dental. whUe Jelllnek had killed him
self Intentionally.
The bank books, showing Lillian
Rosenfleld to have been a wealthy
woman, wera found In the cellar
room she occupied. There she slept
on a rickety bed that bad no mat
tress and that stood behind a window
blocked by cardboard boxes.

World War Still Writes
Headlines in Newspapers
By Raymond Crowley. i
NEW YORK. July 38. (AP) Nine
teen yeara ago today certain officials
dipped their pens In Ink and wrote
the headlines for today's newspapers.
The Ink, flowing In tiny stream on
parchment, gushed to a mighty tor
rent on the front pages of the world
heralding the outbreak of the world
war.
The headlines, black as woe. told
of Austria-Hungary declaring war on
Siberia on July 28, 1914, of Russia or
dering a mobilization the next day;
then of the others Jumping In.
Today that ink 'still splashes on
psge one. A count shows that of all
the headlines on front pages of New
York morning dallies today 70 per
cent deal with subjects which have
I been traced directly or Indirectly, In
whole or In part, by one savant or
another back to the world war.
"Chicago Indicts Al Capons and 38
in War on Rackets" how many times
hss the world been told that the war
bred lawlessness, which fostered
rackets?
"Gov. Lehman Acts to Put State
Behind NRA Drive" how many men
have pointed to the world war as the
cause of the severity of the depres
sion? "Spain to Recognize Soviet Russia."
Tlie traces of war Ink hadn't trickled
from his pen to parchment 10 years
ugo?
'Kidnaper Doomed to Death." Is
that, too, as some would contend, a
result of war-spawned crime?
"O'Ryan Is Chosen by Fualon Group
to Run for Mayor." That's MaJ. Gen.
John P. O'Ryan of the 37th division.
which helped smash the Hlndenburg
line.
World Economic Parley Fhda."
Would it ever have had to begin, ex
cept for the world war?
Some soy that, though the fighting
hits ceased, the world war still goes
on. Certainly the mailed fist la still
penning headlines, not only on page
one, but right through to the finan
cial section.
Not all of them, though. One head
line today says:
"Vast Continent Sank Below Sea
Eons Ago."
It sank, yet life went on. Perhaps
a philosopher could draw a lesson
from that.
