THE MYSTERIOUS SUICIDE.
Unsuccessful Pursuit of Clues to His Iden

The reporters were sure yesterday that
thev had discovered the identity of the
Oakwood suicide. but just as they were
fitting the capstone on their pyramid OF
nroof the supposed deceased walked IN
home. He had been 10 Baltimore with his
wife. and WAS very much surprised 70 learn
that ne was thought TO be dead. In reality
there were few points of personal resem-
blance between him and the dead man.
No GROUND FOR THE MURDER THEORY.
Mr.. w. A. Dickinson, superintendent of
Oakwood Cemetery. wrote the following
TO the Dispatch yesterday:
As the suppOsitiOn has been advanced ny
some that the death at OakwOOd cemetery
might have been a murder instead OF
suicide / would like to make the following
statement: II has been stated by several
that there was no blood on the ground to
indicate that he was killed where found.
This is certainly mistake. There was n
ouantitv of blood under the hat on which
his head was resting. There was also q
ouantity OF brains on the hat and scatter
ed on the ground. The hat was summer
one with ventilating holes IL the crown,
and "A large quantity of blood ran through
the holes. No doubt has been expressed
bv any person who saw the man and the
position III which he was found that IL
could have been anything else but q SUI,
eide. In every case that | have heard
of where suppositi0n Of murder mas
been advanced 1t has been by some one VINO
never saw the man or visited the spot
where he was found.
Tho hat was so full of blood and brains
that was compelled TO have it washed by
one Of nv hands before it could be brought
TO the office. The supposition Of the ma
ioritv of those who saw the position OF
the body when il WAS found Is that de-
ceased formed pillow of his hat and shot
himself in that position: the crown OF the
hat forming q basin through which the
blood ran rs stated above. The pistol
was so tightly grasped in his right hand
that il was difficult matter 10 get II from
between his fingers Every one who was
present Mt the inquest VIII testify TO the
correctness Of this statement. ! simply
say this 10 rcfute the statement that there
was no blood or brains found ABOUT the
spot where the body was found.
ALAwYER WANTS INFORMATION.
Yesterday Postmaster Cullingworth re-
ceiyed "a letter from George W. Cassedy
No. Exchange Place. Jersey City, n. D.,
asking for a full description Of the man
who committed suicide at OakwOod. He
gave no reason for seeking such lntOrma-
tiOn. 90,
The letter was turned over TO the Chief
of Police and Sergeant Hulce went down
to the county courthouse and took down q
description of the effects Of the dead man
which are in the clerks Office. These
with copy of the Dispatch containing the
fac siraHe Of the writing on the note found
on dcceascd's person, will be sent to Mr.
