The telegram announcing the death Of
Lorenzo Richmond, Jr., ut 81, Louis, Mo-,
on Saturday, s,h inst, was a terrible
shock to his parents and friends here
The following are the facts Of the
circumstances of his death. Mr.. Rich
mond made his home in the family
of his brothcr-ln-law, Judge Il, Is.
Adams, and was IN successful practice
of law in that city. On the morning
of the above named day, he was called to
breakfast as usual and answered pleas
anty, and said, "I'll be down In min
ute" Some time after they heard an
unusual noise. The family looked
around to find where II was, and
finally went to Mr.. Richmond's room,
found him in bed, pillow on fire, revolver
side of him with one chamber empty, and
bullet hole in the back side Of his head,
quite dead and looking as If asleep. All
that was immortal of Lorenzo Richmo nd
he'd taken its flight into higher life. AS
he always put his revolver under his pill
low when he retired, since the riots there
last summer, the supposltion Is, and we
think correct one too, that In tax
ing the revolver from under his pillow,
it went off in some mysterious way,
gancing upward and inhlcting the
deadly wound. Mr.. Richmond was Il
Young, unmarried man, successful in his
law practice, having just won an impor'
tant case in court the day before, sur.
rounded by friends, good health, and ex-
uberance of spirits, and there Is no
ground for the sensational reports in the
daily papers of "self-destruction" Inc
facts in the case refute It, The remains
reached here Tuesday morning, and the
funeral was largely attended at the resi-
dence of his father, Lorenzo Richmond,
ESQ.,, in the afternoon. lie was a talented
young man, q graduate of Dartmouth
highly esteemed for his courteous and
manly bearing by all who knew him, and
his death is greatly lamented. He was
about 80 years of age. The family has
the sympathy of the community in theil
great afiliction.
