SHOCKING SUIcIDE.-Isaac S. Davis COM
mitted suicide in New York on Thursday, by
shooting himself through the head. He was
a married man, but about twelve months. ago
had been separated from his wife. Since that
time had been cohabiting with Augusta Clarke.
Davis had been boarding at POI Fast Broad
way, and usually met Augusta at 1875 Crosby
street. At about o'clock in the evening,
while Jeanette Grant and HonOra Clarke
we're in the room, Augusta demanded some
money, and threatened to pawn a locket which
she had, containing his likeness. This remark
led to words between Davis and Augusta, during
which the former threatened to kill her. :
While thus speaking he drew four-barrceed
pistol and pointed it toward her, and she
begged him not to kill her. He then said if
he spared her life, he would take his own, and
holding the muzzle to the right side of his
head, just above the ear, he pulled the trigger
The ball crashed through the skull, and pass
ed out just above the nose, killing him Instant
