ADVERTISEMENT      

SYDNEY, Monday

Particulars of the death of Mrs.

Mary Ross; the 16-year-old wife of a rabbit trapper, who died at her hus-     band's camp near Nundle on Friday

show that the girl answered a matri- monial advertisement on August 21 and on August 28 was married to Ross and they went to live at a camp at Wool-

coman.

It was stated that, a few days after   their marriage the couple had an ar- gument and the husband subsequently left for Tamworth on business. He   took ill at Tamworth and was delayed in town. Meanwhile his wife, believing that he had left her, took poison. When the mother, Mrs. Chapman, ar- rived at the camp the girl was in a bad way. She was removed to hospital where she died shortly afterwards.

A quantity of poison was found in   the tent.
