Lying cold in death at the Gleason mortuary is all that remains earthly of Mrs. Abbielle Ballanger, while at her little home in the west part of the city is the daughter, Mrs. Jennie Harriman, accused by many of murder. Whether the charge is a just one can probably be determined only by a coroner's inquest and a post mortem examination, both of which will be held some time today.
Mrs. Ballanger died last evening about seven o'clock, only a few minutes after an altercation with her daughter, in which the latter struck her a vicious blow over the heart. Whether she fell dead at the time or whether she passed away after being removed to her bed room will also probably remain a mystery, as she was pronounced dead a few minutes later when Chief of Police McClements arrived at the scene. She had shown no signs or life following the blow, and it is probable that she fell dead when struck.
The death of Mrs. Ballanger occurred at her little home at 1510 Snyder street, and it was there that the altercation occurred with the daughter, who resides nearby. Stories told last evening were conflicting and no doubt greatly exaggerated.
A little granddaughter, Jennie Brakie, seven years of age, had gone to the grandmothers home. She was followed a short time later by her mother, Mrs. Harriman, who chided her for leaving home, and began to abuse her, according to stories told by the neighbors.
The grandmother, who only a week ago returned from the county hospital where she had been a patient for a month past, suffering with heart disease, entered the yard and reproached the daughter for abusing the child.
With a remark, the younger woman struck the aged mother over the heart. The mother was seen to stagger and fall.
Friends reaching the house a moment later laid the body on the bed. In the meantime the little granddaughter ran to the police station where she told Chief McClements that her mother and grandmother had fought and that her grandmother had fainted.
The chief went at once to the scene of the difficulty and found the aged woman dead. The daughter had left for her home.
Mrs. Harriman was not placed under arrest last night, remaining at her home near that of her mothers. She is a woman of middle age, and the mother of seven children. It is probable that legal action will depend on the result of an autopsy and the coroner's inquest to be held today.

Mrs. E.E. Harriman, blamed by many for the death of her mother, Mrs. Ballanger, was completely exonerated on the charge yesterday by a coroner's jury, after they had deliberated over the evidence presented at the inquest for only a few minutes. It was found that the aged woman had come to her death from an over taxation of the heart and not from any blow that might have been struck by the daughter.
