F. SUICIDE OF A GENERAL AND Cow.
MoDoRE.-As truly tragic episode Of the
Persian war, we have to mention the
death, each by his own hand, Of General
Foster Stalker, commander of the forces,
and Commodore E,heridge, Of the navy.
The verdict on General Shakers body
was, that he came to his death from pis.
toll shot inflicted by his own hand in a Fl,
of temporary insanity. There was no pa
per left to indicate this, and he was mere
ly heard to complain that the third Caval-
~ was not given him; and was also unea-
81 about the responsibility Of sheltering
the European troops during the approach
ing hot weather. .siuHe; hz75rs3 s=e tIso.= yfn,
IT The verdict on Commodore Etheridge
was that he destroyed himself with his own
hand while suffering under mental abber-
ration, brought about by long continued
anxiety connected with the duties of his
command. Ed zasT95s ~ r. .-.s..7 ~. .,
