TerribIe saIcide BY a Clergyman

THE MOTIVE FOR THE ACT, FEAR OF EXPOSURE OF
PILFERISGs FROM A BOOK STORE AND DEPBEs-
ZION OF SPIRITS FROM DOMESTIC AFFLJcrIoN.
horrible and strange suicide occurred in
Washington, on Sunday morning. Rev. J. N.
COMBS, Pastor of the Western Presbyterian
Church, located on H street, near Twentieth,
has been in the habit of visiting book store on
Pennsylvania avenue, examining the books on
the shelves, but never making purchases.
The bookseller has frequently missed
books and was on the alert to diecover the
thief. On Friday Mr. Coombs visited
the store ard proceeded, as was his custom, to
examine some of tho Volumes While the at
tention of the bookseller was demanded by a
customer, Mr.. Coombs suddenly left the store.
Upon looking for the volume he had been read
lug it could not be found. The proprietor i'm
mediately went in pursuit Of Mr.. Coombs, who
was soon overtaken and charged with the theft
Mr.. Coombs became painfully agitated, admitted
the charge, restored the abstracted volume,
made his name and profession known,
and pleaded piteously not to be ex-
posed. Not crediting his story, the bookseller
took him TO the store of a neighboring book
dealer who knew and identified him, whereupon
he was released with an admonition, and de-
mand that any other books which he might have
obtained surreptitiously from the store should be
returned. On Sunday Mr. Coombs, after eating
his breakfast sent out for copies of all the local
peared a paragraph detailing circumstantially
the discovery of his theft, but omittng the mem
tion of names. Upon receiving the papers he
repaired to his room, and nothing further was
seen of him by the family with whom he was
boarding. His congregation had assembled as
usual for public worship, and after waiting be-
yond the regular time for the appearance of their
Pastor, messenger was dispatched to his resi-
dence. No response being made to the call at
his room door it was broken in, and the unhappy
man was found with his head almost severed
from the body, two razors having been used in
the cutting.
Mr.. Coombs was quiet, uuassuming gentle
man, and possessed the esteem and love Of his
congregation, TO whom he has ministered for
several years. Some time ago his wife, to whom
he was devotedly attached, became insane, and
had to be confined in an asylum. Recently he
received depressing news from her. This, in
conjunction with the discovery of his theft and
dread of exposure, which lie feared would follow
the publication Of the paragraph alluded to,
caused him to take his life.
