ANOTHER SUICIDE.
An old man, named L. w. Reed, shot
and killed himself at a Montgomery
avenue hotel some time during last night.
He registered at the hotel in the afternoon,
but did not go to his room till late at night.
The porter showed him to room A, but
that did not suit. He said that he wanted
light front apartment, and he was shown
to room 80.
This morning the bedmakers found the
door locked and the keyhole stopped up
when they went to make up the room.
4 glance through the transom showed the
occupant sitting in chair in the extreme
corner, apparently dead. John McLaugh-
lin q porter, climbed over the door and
opened it from the inside. Reed was found
to have shot himself through the right
temple. He had taken his seat in front of
the mirror over the low bureau, so as to be
certain of where he placed the weapon.
The pistol was still in his right hand,
which lay limp across his knee. He hsd
evidently laid down on the bed for a few
moments, as the bed-clothing was slightly
disturbed. Reed was apparently 60 years
of age and well dressed. He wore heavy
gray beard and mustache.
In his pocket was found pass-book of
the San Francisco Savings and Loan So
ciety, showing that he had on deposit in
that bank $1,000. Certificates of deposit on
the Sather Banking Company for $500 and
$500 were also found, forming sufficient
evidence that poverty was not the cause Of
him shooting himself.
