ried, resident of Win ngton, Del, fol
nearly twenty years, deliberately re-
moved his outer clothing yesterday,

at his clearinghouse, stuck his heal

with a razor. He had peer out Of work
for two months.
Paul Tollner, a Chicago m%achinist,
whs had frequently quarreiled with his
young wife, said to her yesterday: Twill

put a bullet through bis own heart.

Yesterday afternoon, at Chicago, New
ton MacMillan, a reporter of the Ddua
