valet and companion, was in an adjoining
room, having just left Mr.. Vanderbilt. This
was at 2:15 p. m. Suddenly Terry heard a
| pistol shot; he rushed into Yanderbilt's room
and found him lying on the bed with the blood
streaming from the side of his temple. He
had shot himself with small Smith & Wesson
revolver. Mr.. Vanderbilt was in bed, and had
! been there since the night before, when he
came in late, it is said from gambling house,
where he lost much money. Mr.. Vanderbilt
has always had epilectio fits, and was dissi-
