The SUICIDE OF Mr.. ATHEY.-Mrs. ]. Fl.
Athey, the wifs of the young man who COM
mitted suicide in Memphis on Monday, was
not informed of his death Till nine o'clock
yesterday morning She had been sick,
and her sister and mother did not wish to
tell her before. They let her sleep all night
fret. In the morning Mrs. Athey received
letter from her husband dated Saturday.
In it he spoke OF seeing her soon, and spoke
Of the arrangements for her return home
After she had read the letter her mother
told her of the suicide of her husband. a
physician had been sent for to be present if
needed, as 1t was feared the shock would be
too much for her, Though she was utterly
Frustrated by the news, the services of the
physician were not required. Mre. Athey
has no idea what caused her husband TO
take his life She said to her sister late in
the day that he must have been temporarily
insane that was the only cause she could
give. He had often said to his wife at different
times, though she paid no attention to it,
that be wished they would both die together.
The thought that one would die without the
other seemed to worry him. Her family are
thankful that his wife was not with him at
the time, as they fear he might have
killed her first and then himself. Mrs
Athey left Baltimore for Leesburg this
morning. The body has been shipped
there. The letters Athey wrote before
shooting himself have not been rec ived.-
