A CALM SUICIDE,
DR.. J. B. Curtis, Of Denver, In
jects Morphine Into His Arm.
He Mixed Muriatic Acid With title Quietly
Lay Down on the Sofa Awaiting Death
Whisky WaI the Cause

DENVER, Colo, Nov. "A Especial tele-
gram to THE HERALD. DIR. j. b. Curtis,
who came to Denver last winter as an ex-
pert in the Millington poisoning case, at an
early hour last night injected twenty
grains of morphine mixed with muriatic
acid into his arm and calmly laid down on
the sofa in his Office to await death. He
was pretty well filed up with whisky at
the time, which fact kept the drug from
operating on him, and when discovered
near Il o'clock he was breathing heavily
and there seemed q chance for his life.
Three doctors were called in, who worked
with the physician until o'clock tonight,
more than twenty four hours from the
tina he took the poison, when he died.
He had been drinking heavily for num-
Der OF days, but had agreed TO sober off,
and this was his means. 1t was his second
attempt, and strenuous efforts were made
to keep it from the public. When the fact
became known that someone had attempted
to suicide and the place was located, the
doctors announced that 1t was an unknown
young woman who had staggered into
his Office at q late hour and had
been accompanied by two women
who refused to divulge either their
names or the name of the victim. So
successful were those on the watch in
keeping the news from being known that
this mornings papers announced the at
tempt of the unknown young woman, even
going so far as to tell her age and describe
her. AT daylight, however, the truth was
known.
DR.. Curtis was young man of knowl-
edge and ability, and had drawn a good
business about him by his skill. His un-
fortunate habit was his ruin.

have been sent to the United States
steamship Charleston in China, to seize the
Hawiian Islands. The Charleston when
last heard from was at Yokohoma, Japan,
and it has been the inten ton to have her
return to the United States as soon as the

reaches the China station. The Lancaster
went around the Cape of Good Hope from

in the Indian ocean. When the Charleston
is relieved she will naturally touch Homo
