There is one thought connected with the nu.
merous suicides that are chronicied by the daily
press which is suggestive Of serious reflections
We notice that In nine cases out Of ten the
suicide leaves q letter explaining the causes
which led hun 70 the commission Of tho Trash
act" We do not question that, in the majority
Of cases, these letters are genuine, although We
can scarcely comprehend the state Of mind which
impels a person who has resolved on plungipg
into eternity to indits long argumentatiyc, and
often sentm ntai, epistle to survive him In the
world in which he has lost all interest. But oc.
cssionally we read Of posthumous letter Of q
supposed suicide that sounds suspiciousj rs, for
instance, that found on the body Of q young
man ut Paris, whose throat was cut and other
marks Of violence on his body. Tho letter said
than no ono was to be accused Of his death, for
he was about to kin himself II Is not an I'M.
natural supposilion that, in case like this, muir
der had been committed, and the murderer had
Iesorted to this stratagem to disarm suspicion
and prevent inquiry. What moro easy manner
Of covering up the trail Of murder could there be
fsupposing, oil course, that the marks Of violsnce
we're not too obvious, or that the murder was
committed In such manner aI 10 facilitate tho
design than to slip into the pocket Of tho do
ceased, or lay on his table, or upon tho bank Of
a river along with his hat and clothes, a letter
purporting TO DO his, in which be bids farewell to
his friends and announces his intention to com
init suicideS II the victims handwriting hap
psnsd to bs unknown, and no circumstances ap
psared to initiate against conclusion Of suicide
