CORONERS' CASES


About eleven O'Clock yesterday morning Henry
Kreomer q German thirty years Of age, who lived
at No. "a Eldridge street, was found dead IN bed,
under circumsi ances which induced the belief that
ne had committed suicide BY swallowing guam
uty OF laudanum. Deceased went to board with
Franz Forma, at the above number on Wednesday
last SINCE which time he had many persons to cali
upon him. ana among them was man calling
himself Peter Jones, claiming to live at No. 80
Bowery. Kreomer, Jones and several other per.
sons were drinking together late on Friday night,
in Edrldge street, when Kreomer appeared to be
respondent and talked to Jones about taking his
own lie, but Jones told him to stop talking non
sense and be man. At late hour they
separated, and yesterday morning Jones called 10
see Kreomer, and on gong to his room with the
landlord they were surprised to md HIM dead and
a bottle labelled laudanum standing on the mantei
piece. From number OF German letters found in
possession OF deceased 1t would appear that he
was very respectfully connected, and they also
showed he had been an orderly In the Charity
Hospital, Backwell's Island, which he had left
voluntarily or otherwise. Kreomer mad but few
cents in his possession, and the presumption
therefore is that poverty prompted him to take
his life. Coroner WOltman Will make an ill.,
veSJigattOn.
