RILEY, MARY SUICIDE OF A FORMER RSIDENT OF MANITOWOC.-The Chicago papers give the particulars of a most melancholy affair, the deliberate suicide of MRS. MARY RILEY, by the administration of a large dose of strychnine, on Sunday the 12th inst., in that city. It will be recollected that her husband, Philip Riley, was for several years in the employ of Col. Glover as a salesman, and the couple were well known in this vicinity during their residence here, which was some ten or twelve years ago. Mrs. Riley had been unwell and in low spirits for some time, and the week before had made an effort at self destruction by taking laudanum, which was frustrated by its timely discovery, and the calling in of medical aid. On returning to his home after an absence of a few hours, on the Sunday in question, Mr. Riley found his wife reclining upon a bed, deathly pale and almost unconscious. She acknowledged having taken a large dose of strychnine with a view to terminating her life, and expressed her willingness to meet the dread consequences of her act. Mrs. Riley was known here as an estimable woman and made many friends during her residence in Manitowoc. Domestic infelicity was the cause. Manitowoc Pilot, April 24, 1868 P. 1
