of dependency and moroseness for
several years. when he would threaten
to take his life. On the afternoon of
the 18th he went down TO the creek
and took a cold bath, went back home,
changed his clothes and went out to
make call. After staying a while at
one of his neighbors he took bis leave,
saying that they would not see him

evening and went up stairs, took his
