The funeral of Earnest X. l..
Scott, whose sad death was chronicled
in these columns yesterday, will take
place at 3 O'Clock this afternoon from
st. Marks church in this city.
The arrangements for the obsequies
have been in charge of Lieutenant
Eaton, 9Th Cavalry, who was the de-
voted bosom friend of deceased, and
cherishes his memory with tenderest
regard.
The sensational stories floating about
the city in regard to Scott's death are
totally unreliable, and the statement
that he deliberately suicided is unquali-
fiedly false. While it is true that Scott
took enough chloroform to cause death,
it must also be remembered that on
several previous occasions he had taken
the same, If not a larger quantity, in pre-
cisely the same manner, without serious
results, and besides, there was found in
his room yesterday a very large bottle
of the drug, from which he had not
used a drop. This, with the fact that
the bottle from which he took the fatal
dose was more than half full when
found beside his corpse, effectually dis
proves the suicide story. His friends,
end lie has scores of devoted one here
abouts, + grieved, and justly, that
such u statement should be circulated,
and the author or authors of it deserve
severe condemnation.
We cannot close without according
merited praise to Mrs. Lolita. Caswell,
at whose house young Scott had stop
ped for some weeks previous to his
death. This good lady was real mother
to the sick and somewhat ~disheartened
young man, showing him every kind
ness in hel power. nursing him tenderly
and doing all that his own mother
could have done to bplng him back to
health and good spirits. She is truly a
noble woman. sst. At4s
