NURSE SEES PATIENT FALL TO DEATH

The nurse said at the Hammer smith inquest recently: ““I called her name but she took no notice and when I got in she was hang ing on the ledge by her hands. I caught hold of her left shoulder, but she let go her hold and fell into the area below"

Canon Mozley described ho his wife had worried after "a ter- rible night" in the Cathedral crypt: during a severe raid on: London. Suicide while the balance of her mind was disturbed was the verdict.
