Medical Skill Was of No Avan-A
Wife and Five Children Left in Want.
ATLANTA, GA, June 7.-Early this
morning William T Wilson, in fit of
espondency swallowed stychnine, and died
after half an hour of horrible suffering.
Wilson was engaged in the machine and
fancy goods business on South Broad street
as successor to Wilson & Stiff, and yester-
day his stock was sold out by the
sheriff under an order from the court.
During the war Wilson was severely
wounded, and he has been suffering ever
since, A short time ago he was confined to
his room for nearly three months, and not
being able to look after his business, he be-
came financially involved. This led to his
failure, the result Of which was the sheritf's

MADE DESPONDENT.

He was depressed, and his absent-minded
manner was noticed by several present.
After the sale he went to his home on East
Fair street. He retired early and slept but
little during the night. TLis morning his
wife awoke early and left the room, leaving
him to sleep while she prepared the break
fast. This was about $50 o'clock. Half
an hour later she returned to the room and
found Wilson in commissions. As quickly
as possible a physician was sent for,
and he was soon at the bedside. Wilson
had swallowed large quantity of strych-
nine, and in spite of the efforts of the
physicians to counteract its effects he died
about eco o'clock, half an hour after he
had taken the poison. After taking the
poison he told tne physician that he did it
in fit of dependency, and asked if he
could be saved, but it was then too late.
He left a wife and five children. 1t is
thought that financial depression and pain
from his wounds caused him to commit the
