THE SUICIDE IN BosToS.-STRAyGE STATE
AESTs.-A case of self-destruction occurred at
the south end on Saturday afternoon, which
is ut least, of q melancholy character. Rich
ard Owens, the suicide, was man of some
thirty-fiye years of age, who followed the
avocation of n landscape painter. lie arrived
in this city on the 18th ultimo, and represented
that he came from GAINESVILLE, Ohio, where he
said he had friends. He obtained employ
mcnt ut Bruces window shade store, No. 600
Washington street, 1t n fair remunerative
price, showed himself master of his profess
sion, and gave unusual satisfaction.
at that time he appeared to be in desti-
tute circumstances if n scanty garb and an
empty pocket denote restitution. But with
the proceeds of his labor, he improved in spi-
rits and appea rance, and produced n favorable
impression upon his employer and his associ-
atcs. Within Il day or two past, however, he
had NANTES ted the appearance OF one being
more or less under the influence of liquor,
seemed rather more depressed than usual, and
talked about killing himself No one supposed
he would commit such an act, however, and
no particular notice was taken of his remark.
On Saturday he requested some money of his
employer, which the latter withheld, fearing
it would be expended for liquor. In the after
noon OwncS went to StarkWcathers gallery TO
have some likenesscs Of himself taken, and
while sitting, manifested so much uneasiness
that the artist was compelled TO request him
to sit quietly, in order that correct picture
might be taken. Owens replied that IL would
he - all right when poor Dick il gone
Having secured his pictures, Owens returned
to Mr.. Bruce's store and having enclosed
some of them in envelopes, directed them to
various parties. Mr.. Bruce questioned him rs
to his history, and in response he talked quite
strangely, saying he had been on the frontier
during the war, and had served with the
guerrilla Mosby; that he was also connected
with Booth in the plot to assassinatc Prcsi-
dent Lincoln, and that he endorsed Booth ;
course Presently he went up stairs, and
shortly afterwards Mr. Bruce heard the re-
port of pistol. and, on hurrying to the spot,
he found Owens lying dead upon the floor,
and a single barrcllcd pistol, with which he
had shot himself in the forehead, lying by his
side The affair occurred about > clock. No
one here having any knowledge of Owcns's
connections or friends, his body was given in
charge of IN undertaken, and viii await for
reasonable time any claim that may be made
upon it. Temporary insanity was undoubt-
edly the immediate cause of the act.-BoS'o"
