FOUND DEAD IN HIS BED.
The Coroner Will Investigate the Death
Was 1t Case of Suicide?

This morning about 10 o'clock German
piano tuner, Herman @. Drexel, was found
dead in his bed IN his room on the third floor
over Thomson & Co.'s music store, 521 18th
street northwest. He had been in the employ
OF Thomson d Co. since last June. He was
rather irregular in his habits and was
evidently suffering from some mental trouble
He was from Baltimore and came to this city
about three years and half ago and has been
employed at various places here since. Mr..
Thomson has suspected for some time that
Drexel had considerable family trouble, for he
had wife and one or more children in Balti-
more with whom he had not lived for some
time and with whom he did not communicate.
HIS WIFE AND A GROWN SON
came over to sec him Saturday and the three
had quite heated discussion, the two appar-
emily endeavoring to get him to sign deed,
which he was unwilling to do. Mr.. Thomson
advised them to take him home, but they said he
had promised to quit drinking and work more
regularly in the future. Yesterday he appeared
very gloomy and morose, and when he failed
to put in an appearance this morning the COL
ored woman who takes charge of the rooms was
sent up to his apartment. She opened the door
and found the body of Mr.. DrexeI lying on its
side on the bed. He was quite dead. 1t was
at once supposed that he had committed sui
eide, although there were no signs of weapon
or other means OF committing the rash act.
AN INQUEST TO BE HELD.
Coroner Patterson was notified and ordered
the body to be removed to the morgue. An
examination will be made this afternoon and
an inquest will probably be held. kilograms
were at once sent to his family in Baltimore,
but no answer has yet been received from

DICK HALVES GIGS.
He Says He Confessed from Motives of
Malice.

Saturday night Dick Halves, the Alabama
murderer, wrote two letters, one to Miss May
Story, the young lady whom he married in Co
lumbus, and the other to Ed Weaver of Marion,
Ind. He gave them unstamped to Deputy Gus
Ellard, who turned them over to Sheriff Smith
and he opened them. Both said when re-
ceived the writer would be dead, which
plainly meant that Halves intended to COM
NIT suicide. The letter to Miss Story said his
late confession, in which he claimed that he
paid John Wylie to kill his wife and Irene, was
false. He did it to get even with Wylie, who
had once, while both were in Jail here, be-
trayed plot Halves and other pris-
oners had on foot to escape
Some days ago HIVES made confession
to Deputy Dave Smith on the Iatter's promise
to tell nothing till he had been dead three days.
In that confession Hawes said he paid Wylis
andaFannie Bryant to kill Mrs. Halves and little
Irene. He had intended to keep May, but on
finding she knew about the murder Of her
mother and sister he took her out TO East lake
and smothered her, then put her body in the
lake.
