= SELF MURDER OF DR.. COOLIDGE AT THE
THoMAsroN PRIsoN. News was received by
US on Saturday, by Telegraph, of the death by
poison, self administered, OF DIR. w. p Coolidge,
confined in the Thomaston State Prison for the
murder of Edward Matthews. The circumstan.
ces, as reported by the Boston Traveller, were
these; Coolidge had plotted with pri .oner about
to be released, the murder of Flint, who. it wall
be recollected, was student with Coolidge at the
time OF the Matthews murder, and was chief
witness for Government in the matter. The plot
was, that the prisoner after his release should po
to Bath, where he should call in Flint. under pre
tence OF being sick that he should pretend that
his sickness was in the lower part of the body
and that while Flint was bending down, he should
strike him in the back part OF the neck with
piece OF iron, in spot particularly pointed out by
Coolidge, where such blow would probably be
instantly fatal. He was then to place near him
bottle OF poison, and forged letter purporting to
be confession that he was the murderer of Mat
thews, instead OF Coolidge.
1t this plot was successful, Coolidge would, as
he supposed, be liberated. But fortunately. ma
pers detailing the whole plot ia the handwriting
OF Coolidge, were found by the Warden on the
prisoner who was to act so prominent a part in
the tragedy, and who was to be paid thousand
dollars for the accomplishment OF the murder
Coolidge, upon this discovery, was forthwith plac.
ed In close confinement, when probably seeing
that his foul projects were all foiied, he ended
his career OF crime by taking poison Upon 90
ing to his cell, yesterday morning, he was found
extended upon the floor, in an expiring state. and
shortly after died.
