Respondent German, at 1914 Norfolk street,
committed suicide to-day after making elabor-
ate preparations. Placing ooking-glass up
right upon the table, he fixed in front of it
gun loaded and cooked, to the trigger of which
he attached string, and seating himself in
rocking-chair in front OF the table, he placed
the muzzle of the gun against his breast, and
with each hand pressed against his temples a
loaded revolver. The string from the gun
trigger was fastened to the back of the rocking
chair. His plan evidently was to discharge
all three weapons at the same time. The gun
however, was no: discharged, but the revolvers
were, and the suicide was found dead in his
chair,
