Alex. ". Pagett, who shot himself through
the head in front of Blacks Opera House on
Saturday afternoon, 2l,t inst, died Wedues-
day morning At nine o'clock at the residence
OF his brother-in-law, Mr. John Strong, No 8
West North street. He had been doing very
well up to Tuesday night, bat DR.. Bell, his
attending physician, came to the conclusion
that the only chance to save his life va, to
tie the artery which had been severed BY the
ball. This was attempted about midnight
Tuesday night, but the operation was attend
ed with so much loss Of blood that it was
soon apparent that the suicide could not live
From that time on he sank rapidly until
death relieved his suffering. The post-mortem
examination developed two facts: First, that
the right side, extended upward, fracturing
the sphenoid bone, which is the base of the
skull, and then glanced downward. 1t is
imbedded in the face. probably On the left
side, but was not found, as it could not be
done without disfguring the face. The frac-
ture OF the sphenoid bone is necessarily fatal
from Inflammation, but the length of time the
patient may live may vary. The second fact
is that, on examination of the brain, . small
growth of bone was found on the membrane
separating the hemispheres OF the brain, which
no doubt was the main or approximate cause
of insanity, and was irremediable In the
report of the suicide in last Sundays issue, it
was stated Inadvertently that it was Thomas
Pagett who. in . fit of insanity, shot and
wounded a companion. 1t should have read
Samuel, instead of Thomas, that being the
brother now in the asylum at Dayton. Thos.
NJ. Pagett resides in this city and is a wood
worker at Diehl Il Geiger's engine works, and
is a married man. The funeral occ urred on
Friday.
