WORDS WITH EMPLOYER
THEN TOOK OWN LIFE

Jury Finds Barnardo Girl Came to Death While Temporarily Insane

Kemptville, Ont., Aug. 10. (CP)--Beatrice Nash, Barnardo Home girl, into whose death officials of the home are investigating, came to her death by drowning while temporary insane, a coroner's jury decided at an inquest held here yesterday. Her body was found in the Rideau river several hours after she had had a quarrel with her employer, H. Dickinson. A note directed searchers to the scene of the tragedy.

At the inquest Mr. Dickinson told of having words with the girl concerning a glass of water. At night he went down to the river in search of her. His suspicion that she had drowned herself was aroused when he found the gras trampled at the water's edge.
