heavy loss III some unfortunate business specula.
lations, which had q very depressing effect
on his mind, and from which it seems
he wa, unable to rally. His nervous
system became completely unstrung, and it was
impossible for him to rest sleep at night, and all
that his family could say do seemed to avail but
little In lifting the cloud OF dependency which had
settled so heavily upon him. Mr.. Lichtcnstein
thought that his family would come to want and
be dependent on friends for support. His reason,
in fact, was partially dethroned, and the melan.
choly fact had been frequent subject OF remark
between inherent members OF the family, who,
however, did not for q moment imagine that
he entertained all idea Of selfdestruction,
on WEDNESDAY s;N evening Mr. Lchtenstein took
turning retired TO bed as usual but not to sleep.
About one O'Clock A.. M. Mr.. Mchtenstein arose
from the bed and, In doing so, awoke his wife, who
asked him what he was doing, and he said he was
going out to take walk. She endeavored to per.
suade him TO lie down again, but without avail.
and he started out In half an hour LATER az Mr.
Lichtenstein did not return, his WIFE, becoming
alarmed, called her son and search was imme-

life being quite extinct when the body was cut
down.
The testimony taken before the Coroner failed TO
sustain the theory previously advanced that Mr.
Lchtenstein had lost heavily in business transac-

The Jury found that the deceased took his own
