A Warren Pa special SAYS: The
excitement is great over the suicide last
night Of A. 6. Merrill, teller Of the
Warren Savings Bank. Mr.. Merrill
had been taking vacation for week
and was 10 resume his duties II the
bank to-day. Yesterday morning he
asked the servanf-girl fOr the kerosene
can and proceeded TO clean w an old
revolver that had not been used for
long time. Afterwards he went up town
and, returning about . O'Clock. said he
was going to lie down 10 rest. He went
INTO hisroom and locked the door. About
3 O'Clock the servant-girl heard pistol
shot, but thought nothing Of 1t. About
5 O'Clock one OF the Misses Merrill,
with whom he resided went to cal
him. but received no answer. Becom-
Ing alarmed the ladies forced open the
door and found him lying upon the bed.
The curtain was down, making the
room rather dark. Thinking he was
asleep, an attempt was made TO arouse
him, and failing In this q message was
sent 10 DR.. Baker, while the women of
the house chafed his hands, thinking he
must be very Ill. When the doctor AZ
rived he raised the window-curtain.
which revealed q wound in Merrill's
temple and the revolver lying near by
Oh he bed. The doctor said he had
been dead about two hours.
The unfortunate man was about
thirty-seven years of age, of quiet
disposition, and was a general favsrite
among those who knew him. Merrill
left several important letters, the con-
tents Of which have not vet been made
public. The story has got around that
he is defaulter 10 large extent, and
that his letters involve several other
wel-known businessmen. Develop
ments are snxiously awaited.
