took the razor and locked II up In a closet, but
neglected to take the key out Of the door. He
said TO her, bring me the morning paper and
she went down stairs TO fetch IL.
Or. Reese was then in the sitting room, over the
dining room, sliPPered and dressed in his every
day costume. His sister had scarcely reached the
parlor before she heard q peculiar noise, and
started In haste to return. When she entered the
room again, DR.. Reese was standing up in the
middle Of the door, in the act Of drawing a razor
across his throat, having previously opened the
veins Of both arms at the wrists The blood was
flowing upon the floor. She rushed In, and be
fell into her arms, exclaiming Have mercy on
me, oh Lordp He was laid upon the floor with
apillow beneath his head and death ensued IN a
very few minutes, in fact before the family could
summon DR.. WOmble, who was sent for''
