An OLD PHYSICIAN KILLS HIMSELF.
HE DRIVES HTS ASSISTANT FROM THE ROO
WITH REV OLIVER AND THEN SHOOTS
HINISFTE

Dr. Isaac Lea, an old and well-xnown physician
of Richmond County, shot and killed himself last
light at his home, at Beach and Prospect sts.,
Stapeton. Dr. Lea had not been well for some
months and part of the time was confined to his
house. He had not practised his profession for
over year. He was for nineteen years police
geon, and had a large private practice. He was
also coroner for several terms On several occasions
DR.. Lea had threatened to take his life
and his family were compelled to watch him
closely. Only recently one of the family took
revolver away from him with which he had threat
ened to take his own life After this he went into
the Police Headquarters and attempted to borrow
revolver from Sergeant Carnell under the pre-
tence that he wanted to shoot a cat which had
been annoying him. The sergeant, however, re-
fused to lend the doctor his weapon.
Last evening DR.. Lea's youngest daughter came
home and complained of feeling sick DIR.
Steensen, who had been attending to DR.. Lea's
practice recently, was sent for and came to the
house. While he was upstairs attending Miss
Lea her father learned of his presence in the
house and called up the stairway for the doctor
to come down. DR.. Steensen, not suspecting any,
thing wrong with his old friend replied pleasantly
that he would be down as he had attended
TO his patient, and thought more of the matter
until DR.. Lea, who is now somewhat feeble, came
into the room unsteadily, and with show of
anger drew a revolver on DR.. Steensen and OF
dered him to leave the room.
DIR. Steensen, seeing that DR.. Lea was not in
a right state of mind, and\ fearing that he might
discharge the revolver, hastily lett the room
but did not leave the house DR.. Lea imme-
dately afterward descended the stairs and entered
his own office on the first floor, seated himself
at MS desk in ( of large mirror and de-
iberately placing une revolver at his rlgF temple
pulled the trigger and sent 32-calibre bullet
through his head The noise OF the discharge
alarmed the household, and the family rushed
still breathing but unconscious, and Dr. Steensen
did what he could for his relief and also sum
moned Drs John L. Feeny and James j. O'Dea;
fifteen minutes later Coroner Martin Hughes
of Clifton, was informed of the facts, and i'm
panelled a jury who will hold an inquest on
