Jno. Connolly, watchmun on duty in the
treasury department, shot and killed him
self in the coal vaults in the basement of
the treasury buildings yesterday between
the hour of his going on duty,
at p. M, and midnight. When
another Waterman went to
relieve him, the latter found him lying on
a heap of coal, a bullet hole in his head
and blood and brains bespattering his face
and clothing and the walls and floors. He
had shot himself with one of the large Colt
revolvers which the treasury watchmen
carry, and previous to doing so had written
an explanation of his act on large sheet
of official paper and pinned it on his breast.
The writing ON the paper was covered with
coal dust and blood but enough was read
to show that family trouble was the mo-
tixe for the deed.
