Reid, Prominent Kentucky Iurist,
Suicides in the Office
of Friend.

MI. STERLING, Ky, May lj.-This COM
munity was thrown into the widest excite
ment this morning abont IL o'clock by the
startling announcement that Judge Richard
Reed had committed suicide For the past
few days his friends had noticed that he was
considerably depressed in spirits and COM
mented upon it, but this morning
he was more cheerful and in better
spirits than he had been for
weeks and had made arrangements
TO visit different portion Of the country TO
canvass during the week. His mental
alteration must have come on him suddenly,
doubtless superinduced by.a pain in the
head, Of which he complained to Judge
Brock. 1t appears he went into Judge
Brooks law office about 1880 o'clock this
morning and told the Judge that he was suf-
ering from severe headache and would
ike 10 20 up stairs and lie down. Judge
Brock told him to go ahead and thought no
more about it, but went on the street and
after q lapse of an hour went up stairs to
wash his hands, and was Mortified to find
Judge Reid dying, stretched on the floor, his
head lying in
A Pool of Blood
and 3e-calibre Smith and WesSon pistol
on the floor by his side. He Immediately
gave the alarm. In a few moments the
people rushed to the Office to view the sad
scene. 1t is believed that Judge Reid stood
up before a mirror put the pistol behind
his right car and fired, falling at full length
on his back. The ball passed straight
through the brain and struck the wall some
distance from him. The Coroner held an
inquest tt verdict being that he came to
his death troH pistol shot fired by his own
hand
The following note written on the back
of business card was found on the bureau
II the room: Mad: forgive me dear vie
and love 10 the boy 1t is not signed but
il is in the handwriting of Judge Reid.
1t is singular fact that no one heard the
rcpcrt of the pistol. The weapon used by
Judge Reid was one he kept al his house
hut never carried and appeared to have
been loaded.
