in the veins of Mary F. Harmon has
wrecked what promised to be a sue-
cestui musical career and brought a
self-iuflicted death to the innocent
victim of the blight. By accident the
mulatto mother of the girl remains
alive after she had entered int.; a
suicide pact with her daughter.
The death of the girl and the find-
ing of her mother unconscious reveal
a hopeless struggle to combat the fate
that condemned the girl to bear the
burden of her racial taint it was
learned that the mother through all
the years the two had lived here had
posed as her daughters negro ser-
vant hoping in that way that the
younger woman might be considered
a white woman and make a career
lor herself or become the wile of a
white man of wealth and position
Detectives who investigated the
tragedy found that the father of the
girl was John Moon a white man.

When the daughter was 'born and ap-
peared! destitute of indications or
negro blood her mother conceived
the plan of bringing her up as a white
child The father agreed to this plan
and provided liberally fcr the two.
When he died twelve years ago .Moon
left his daughter property in Balti-
more valued at $12000 and left ;
000 in cash for the mother.
The girl proved to have an exi el
lent voice and her mother planned
a grand opera career for her. Most
of the little fortune of the two was
expended in giving the girl a musi-
cal education. The two left Haiti-
more and came to Philadelphia so
that they might escape their family
history. When they took an apart-
ment the unselfish mother represent
ed herself as a servant in the employ
of a young white woman of indepenn-
ent .means who was gt inlying for the
stage.
But the struggle was useless. Cos-
