Mrs. Capitola Adams, married, divorced, and remarried, though only twenty-two years old, drank carbolic acid at her summer home at Columbine Lake, a mile and a half west of Grand Lake. She died without explaining the reason for her act. Her husband, Roy Adams, a salesman and former stamp clerk in the Denver Post Office, is said to have nearly lost his mind, and attempted to take his own life, when he saw his young wife of six months die in agony. Mrs. Adams is said to have been in poor health and to have brooded over the death of a relative in Chicago. But this is not supposed to have been the only cause.
