| 5244 | The Charleston Gazette, 12 May 1939 Aged Wife Dies In Suicide Pact Husband Not Expected To Live After Couple Drinks Poison RAINELLE - May 11 ?(AP)? A pathetic decision of two old people to die together resulted today in the death of the wife, and physicians said the husband could live only a few hours. Frank Kline, 67, former lumberyard worker but lately on relief, stumbled into the office of Magistrate J. W. Lake soon after dawn and related that he and his wife had taken poison. Lake said Kline's story was that, with two drinking glasses and a bottle of home-mixed poison, the couple left their home in Rainelle last night and walked into the woods. Each drank a glass of the concoction they had prepared. Mrs. Dora Kline, 66, died during the night but the husband said he was unable to retain the potion. He spent the night in semi-delirium until he recovered strength to stagger into town, Lake said. Dr. W.C. McCauley reported tonight that Kline's condition was critical and he would not long survive his wife. Penniless, and on relief, Kline told the magistrate, the couple entered into a suicide pact "because we had nothing to live for... no friends, no children." "I am sorry," Kline said just before the physician ordered him to bed in a nearby home, "that I didn't go with her." A coroner's jury returned a verdict that Mrs. Kline died of drinking poison. | Scudder, Eldora J. "Dora" (I26953)
