WHITE, Susan
Died from Intemperance
A rumor
was current up town on Wednesday, that a woman named Susan
White, residing at
No. 280 West Seventeenth-street, had
come to her death from receiving poison
from her husband.
The rumor probably arose from the fact that deceased had some
money in the Bank, which she would not withdraw for the
benefit of her better
half. She also told her sister that
if she ever died suddenly, she might
attribute it to her
husband. The rumor got afloat that the husband had
administered laudanum, and he, afraid of the insinuations
of the neighbors,
fled. Coroner Wilhelm held an inquest
upon the body, and after he had taken the
testimony, and
making a post mortem examination, it turned out that she dies
from the effects of intemperance. The New York Times,
June 8, 1855.
