SUICIDE OF JOHN H. MArTHEws-Although
we were in possession of the facts relative to the
suicide OF John H. Matthews, Esq, late District
Attorney fol this judicial district we forebore to
publish them, yesterday, at the request of the faith
er of the deceased, who wished, if possible, to
keep from the mother a knowledge of the fact
that her son died by his own hand. But so wide
apublicity has been given to the melancholy af-
fair, thatwe trust we shall not add to the poign-
ancy of parental grief ngle pang, by stating
such facts as have come to our knowledge, relat-
ing to the subject
1t was about halfpast twelve o'clock, P NJ,
that the cries for help, issuing from Mr. Mat.
thsw's Office, attracted the attention of inmates
of the building and passers by, who, rushing in
found Mr.. NJ. apparently in dying condition -
she was partially undressed, sitting in an easy
char, with his feet in another. His muscles were
strongly convulsed, but he appeared to have his
reason, and called the name of his friend, Dr.
Bates, several times. DR. Bates was Immediate
ly sent for, but before he Dr. Rice whom
the messenger met, on his way to DR.. Bates office,
was In attendance. As DR.. Rice approached the
dying man, he looked up at him, and. seeming to
recognize him, said I" You cannot help mel
have taken strychnine." DR.. Bates arrived al
most Immediately after DR. Rice and they at
once commenced preparations to relieve his
system from the effects OF the poison. Mr.. Mat
thews objected to their attentions stating that he
wished to be left alone, that he desired to die
He finally consented to take an emetic and to
permit them to use the stomach pump, but from
the first, the case was hopeless, and all efforts for
Teiiet of the patient were unavang. and he
died at three O'Clock All consciousness appeared
to have left him for three quarters of an hours
previous to that time.
To the question put to him by Dr. Bates why
he had done such an act, he said 81 have no
home" Mr.. Matthews has been subject to fits
Of dependency, but of late he has not appeared
to his friends subject to any marked depression
OF spirits About five years ago he attempted
suicide with laudanum, and was restored by
timely remedies. About two years since he made
another attempt upon his life, as he supposed
with Strychnine, but was deceived by the person
wac sold him the drug. and only took mlder
poison He stated to his physicians who at.
tende lin in his last illness, that he 'purchased
three grains OF Strych tine at one place, and two
at another, but that he believed the apothecary
who sold the last named quantity cheated him or
he would have died sooner" Subsequent inouir
les show that the poison was purchased nearly
year since, at both places, but wishout the slight.
est suspicion that it was intended for any other
purpose than to destroy the life of dog.
The funeral services will be held this afternoon
at the old South Church.
