CORNELIUS JEREMIAH VANDERBILT, son OF
the late Commodore and brother Of W. q. Van.
derbilt, shot himself on the I'd Of April in the
Glenham Hotel in Fifth Avenue, New York.
He lived on the fifth floor in five rooms. Hi
friend, Mr.. Terry, who is always with him 81
valet and companion, was in an adjoining
room, having just left Mr.. Vanderbilt. Thil
was at 2:15 p. m. Suddenly Terry heard I
| pistol shot; he rushed into Vanderbilt's room
and found him lying on the bed with the blood
| streaming from the side of his temple. HI
had shot himself with small Smith & Wessor
| revolver. Mr.. Vanderbilt was in bed, and hat
been there since the night before, when h'
came in late, it is said. from gambling house
where he lost much money. Mr.. Vanderbilt
| has always had epilectic fits, and was dissi
pated as much as his miserable condition woult
| allow. He Was all broken down. After he wa
shot he did not speak, but died at 5:15 m
W. b. Vanderbilt, Mr.. Terrence, a abrother-in-law
Scott Lord, formerly Cornelius counsel, AMI
Doctor Robert Weir, were present most Of tn
time. W. h. was not there when Corneliu
died. Much effort was made to suppress tn
theory Of suicide, but 1t could not be suppresse
or course. Undoubtedly this man was out O
his mind. He has spent . great deal of none
since the Commodore died but in the viii COZ
test, he received a. . compromise 81, ,0O0, ,00(
and was not in the habit Of speculating.
