/ DrArH OF PsAorIoAL JoKSn.--T The death
by hanging Of young Mr.. Whitlock has been
mentioned On the day Of his death he was
cheerful as usual, ate heartily, and told the
servant girl to wake him in the afternoon. AS
he was going up stairs, he turned and told the
girl that it was his intention to brighten her
and the companion who slept with her, before
his mother returned home. She begged him
not to, for the other girl was very nervous, and
she might go into commissions. He laughed
and passed on. He and his father were the
only members of the family at home. AT the
appointed time the servant went up stairs to
awaken him, and found his body hanging. In
the third story of the house is staple in the
wall to which is affixed clothes-line, which,
when not in use, is allowed to fall behind q
bureau. Directly under this is a mahogany
chair, with one of it's legs broken There was
no doubt in the minds of the coroner and Jury,
that Robert saw this line as he went up stairs,
and to brighten the girl about the time that she
was to awaken him, he stood on the chair, with
the moose about his neck, in such position
that it might appear he was about to hang him
self. The broken chair canted, and the fatal
termination came. That he made desperate
efforts to extricate himself is evident from the
marks Of his hands on the bureau, and of his
fingers on his neck.-Boston Courier.
