of laudanum, and from there went to st.
Charles Hotel, where he called for a room.
Not appearing at breakfast yesterday
morning, at IL his room was opened, and
he was found in an unconscious condition.
Physicians were called. but too late to help
him, and he died this morning at 4 o'clock,
without manitesting any consciousness or
leaving any clue to his act. His wife was
telegraphed for yesterday, and arrived last
night. She is almost crazed with grief
and states that her husband said on Satur-
day that he was suddenly called to Cairo
ON business, and would return last night.
He informed the conductor, however, that
he should be here several days. He was
doing we'll, was well respected, stood high
in the community and was not addicted to
intemperance. The whole affair is shroud-
ed in mystery.
The body of Morse, who jumped into the
river on Friday, was found this morning
and identified at the inquest by a tag which
he left on his person.

known is that he was subject to attacks
of neuralgia in the head, which caused
such intense suffering as to affect his reas-
on. 1t is supposed that he took the fatal
step during such an attack.
