HENRY wARREN'S SUICIDE
Driven Insane by Fear OF Trial for Unwit.
dngly Buying Stolen Feed.

Driven Insane by Fear OF Trial for Unwit-
ingly Buying Stolen Feed.
Henry Warren, teamster, committed sui
eide Saturday night by blowing his brains out.
The cause of the act was temporary insanity,
the result of trouble. Warren was poor man
and lived with his wife and several children in
a understanding two-story frame house on O
street southwest between LIST and I'd streets.
He was a member Of Ryland Chapel and held
good letters of recommendation from promi-
nent persons, among them being Rev. Charles
Baldwin.
Some time ago Warren purchased some feed
for his horse from colored man and he
learned afterward that the feed had been
stolen. He was an honest man and the fact of
his having purchased stolen property worried
him to such an extent that he thought every
footstep he heard was that of a detective after
him, until his mind became impaired, and then
he wanted to kill the man who was responsible
for his having bought the feed.
Saturday morning he went out with his team
and occupied stand, as usual. He bought a
pistol, and at night he went to the house Of
Charles Hatchell, No. 1896 I'd street southwest.
and gave notice that he intended to kill him.
self. His friend Hatchell was afraid to inter-
fere on account OF the size and strength OF
Warren and 30 he started out for a policeman.
Warren begged him not to leave him and he
said he was only going out to get drink of
water at the hydrant. Warren evidently imag-
ined at that time that he was to be tried and
sentenced, for he began to dictate to Mrs
Hatchen a letter giving the Judge the informa-
ton that he killed himself on account of the
affair already mentioned.
The letter having been finished the man got
up and said to his wife, Goodbye" while she
stood begging him to remain in the house in
the hope that an officer would appear in time
to prevent him from taking his life, but he ran
into the street and pulled the trigger Of the
weapon, sending the bullet through his brain,
causing instant death.
His body was removed to the morgue, where
1t was kept until yesterday. Then Undertaken
Harvey prepared the remains for burial and
removed them to the late home of the deceased.
The coroner examined the case and gave q
certificate in accordance with the facts,
