Identification of the young women who leaped to her death from the Colorado-street bridre Sunday as Sally Nichols was established by two persons yesterday to the satisfaction of the Pasadena police. P. C. Black, Los Angeles attorney, at whose home the young woman was employed as maid, identified the body, as did Dan Colett;. to whom Miss Nichols penned her farewell note. Colette's address was given as the Warwick Hotel, 1511 North Wilcox avenue. Miss Nichols had been employed by the Blacks about two months. Black hed earlier expressed the opinion that the suicide victim might be the maid. Colette, according to the police, said Miss Nichols had threatened to end her life on several occasions previously.
Mrs. Diana Burrows, sister of Miss Nichols, who lives with her little girl in a cottage at 130 1-2 East Thirtieth street, said she had not identified the body and did not intend to "unless someone comes to fetch me there." Sally had been to see her last Thursday night and on that occasion was all broken up because she told her sister she did not see how she could live without the man she loved. "But young people talk likes that Mrs. Burrows opined with a heavy sigh. Little Diana, 'looking at the pic hires in a magazine on the bed in the room kept chanting, "Mamma, when will Sally come back?" "Hush, sweet." the mother begged. "Sally is never coming back she's in heaven now. Please don't ask mother any more questions, because I am feeling bad." Mrs. Burrows said Her sister had been married once.
The Pasadena police said it is unlikely there will be an inquest. When anyone jumps off the Colorado-street bridge, it is generally considered a closed case as soon as the identification can be made, police observed. Sally's was the forty-fourth such case.
