house in Hohoken. Before he ded
his life he sent letter to TIE New

his contemp plated suicide and the

pears that when Glencklih arrived in

when Mrs. Gutenberg and her hus-
band, who were relatives, called on

keep it around loosely. After
considerable talk GIencklih handed
the money to Gutenberg, who told him
1t would be given 20 him any time he
demanded 1t. Two weeks ago Glenck-
hb, who had just returned from pleas

house of the Gnttenbergs. Mrs. Gut
tenberg burst into tears when she saw
him, and said her husband had desert

money lett in his care. Glencklih was
greatly astonished and began to act like
a crazy man. Mrs, Gutenberg ad-
vised him that, as be WAS too
proud either 10 work or beg, the only
thing left for him to do Was to commit
suicide. He agreed with her and she
suggested that he take poison, and she
Wednesday he took the poison. A
