- Buffalo NY Morning Express - 4/8/1912
Niagara Falls April 7 - The young
woman who swallowed carbolic acid in
the Falls street station of the New York
Central yesterday afternoon and who
died this morning in Saint Mary's hos-
pital without regaining consciousness
was Miss Edna M. Bald, 21 years old,
daughter of Charles Bald of No. 1451
Main street, Buffalo.
The girl who had suffered for some
months with melancholia had left her
father's home yesterday morning to visit
a married sister in Buffalo. In the af-
ternoon the father learned she had not
appeared at the sister's home and he
notified the police. That was at 5
o'clock, the very hour at which she
swallowed the poison in the station here.
This morning the father saw the des-
cription of the girl on The Buffalo Ex-
press and came immediately to the
Falls. He saw the girl in the hospital
and identified her as his daughter. She
had swallowed nearly three ounces of
the acid and was terribly burned. she
died at 6:30 o'clock. The body will be
sent back to Buffalo tomorrow for
burial.
