WAYCRoss, GA. April 16.-A white man
named William Thornton, of this county,
shot and killed himself last night at a house
Of i'll fame outside tho corporate limits.
Thornton was employed on the Brunswick
and Western road as an apprentice, and
was looked upon as an honest and
moral young man. About a year
ago family consisting of father,
son and two daughters moved into this
vicinity and occupied a cottage just outside
the corporate limits. No one suspected but
that the girls were all right until it began
to be rumored around that there were more
or less men to be found at the cottage dur
ing all hours of the night. Thornton's visits
were not suspected by his friends, although
he had been for some time in the habit of
visiting the house.
CAUSE OF THE TRAGEDY.
For some weeks past he was noticed to be
despondent and began drinking. Last night
on going there he found some one ahead of
hlm, who, it seems, had supplanted his af-
lectlons. Gaining admittance during the
night he attempted his life by swallowing a
quantity of laudnum, but the drug did not

The coroner's verdict is that death was
caused by his own hand, all the evidence
pointing in that direction, but foul play is
suspected by some.
