Richmond, Va., Feb. 4—The body of a young woman believed to be Miss Maggie Harper, 21, of Charlotte, N.C., was found this afternoon in her room in a boarding house here. She had been dead for some time, and although the room was filled with gas from an open jet, coroner J.M. Whitfield said he could find no trace of gas poisoning.
The girl went to the house several days ago and later told other occupants that she had come to Richmond to escape marriage to a man whom she did not want to marry. The authorities also found the name “Mary Harper” on her belongings. The girl was fisited by the landlady at 7 o’clock this morning.
