Husband's Bad Table Manners Cause Suicide

1928

CHICAGO, May 25. — (AP) — Her husband's table manners were blamed for the suicide of Mrs. Gladys Drew, who took poison yesterday.

Edwin Drew, the husband, said his wife became angry over the manner in which he handled his spoon as they were eating at a restaurant. A quarrel followed and she went home where he found her shortly afterwards dying.
