A WEALTHY SUICIDE.
A WELL-TO-DO OLD GENTLEMAN
TAKES STRYCHNINE.
Supposed to Be o. A. King, But Els
Identity Not Fully Established-Found
in Convulsions on the Sidewalk.

Another man has seen fit to separate
his soul from his body by his own act
This time it is a stranger in the city,
a man whose years should have given
him wisdom, and who, therefore must
have had good reason for the deed.
What that reason was is unknown.
At half-past o'clock last evening a
telephone call for a patrol wagon was
received at police headquarters with the
information that a man had fallen in a
fl in front OF the Lanfranco block, on
Main street, opposite the Temple block.
Officer Coke responded, and believing
that he was dealing with case of
spasms, treated the unknown in accord
ance.
When the patient arrived at the
station he seemed better, but was taken
after he fell into commissions. Drs.
Bryant and Murphy were called, and at
once diagnosed case of strychnine
poisoning, the diagnosis being facili-
tated by the fact that a bottle of
Powers & Weightmans sulphate of
strychnia was found in the unknown's
coat pocket.
When the person of the patient was
searched there were found on him
$3.50 in cash, fine gold
watch and chain, and railroad
ticket stamped at Pueblo with coupon
to Barstow. The name on this ticket
was o. A. King, and in his last mo-
ments OF consciousness the suicide stated
that King was really his name. Other
wise nothing could be learned as to his
identity.
The physicians applied the stomach
pump and antidotes, and tried their ut
most to save the unfortunate, but in
vain. He was in commissions every few
minutes until 10 :45, when he gave his
last gasp. The physicians had lost
case, and the coroner had gained one.
The dead man was about 55 years OF
age, was tall and broad-shouldered, and
wore bushy, black, full beard.
