Death Visits the HospitaI

Henry Meyer, the young Swiss who shot
himself several days since and who was
taken to the city hospital for treatment,
died at late hour Wednesday night, and
the remains were inferred yesterday by the
city. 1t will be remembered that the un.
fortunate man who was all besmeared with
blood, was picked up one afternoon on
Camp street, where he had tainted

the police, and taken to the city hospital,
where he received medical attention. On
investigation, pistol wound was found in

and around the skull beneath the skin and
coming out near the crown of his head. In
his statement to HERALD reporter and
others he persisted that he was shot by a
negro man while he was taking a stroll in
the country, but some women
residing in the southeastern suburbs stated
that they saw him put the pistol to his
head and fire several shots. The latter was
the most credltable story. Subsequently
