Commits Suicide.


Tho Coroner Views the Body.
Barrett F. Munson aged 10 resid-
ing with his family at No. sos East
Ninth street committed suicide about
o'clock this afternoon in tho third
story cell of the custom house build
ing, wilhelm the custody OF the United
States authorities.
About year ago Munson was fore
man OF the blacksmith's department
of the Edge Moore Iron Company's
works, but for some cause was dis
charged from the employ Of the COM
pany.
Since that time he has entertained
great enmity to the company and by
all the means In his power tried to an.
noy them. He sent scurrillous letters
through the mail not only to the COM
pany but to their patrons and custo-
mers.
The company, annoyed almost be-
yond endurance, complained to the
Post Office authorities and Inspector
Maxwell was sent on to investigate
the case and II possible detect the
guilty parties Inspector Maxwell and
Postmaster Stewart have for several
weeks been working up the matter,
and they were rewarded in the discov-
VI , y.
warrant was then sworn out for
the arrest of Munson, and this morn
ing United States Marshal II. G. Ma
haffy finding Mnnson about o'clock
standing at the p, W. IL. j. depot ar
rested him and took him to the Custom
House cell and locked him up.
Marshall Mahaify, having warrant
to serve on Thomas Mullin of the
Ninth ward for passing n counterfeit
silver dollar arrested him and put
him In the cell with Munson. As he
was about leaving, Munson asked him
to send up drink OF water, which he
did and then went home to dinner.
A few minutes before o'clock Null
lin saw there was something wrong
with Munson who was lying on settee
and as he rolled from the settee, he
knocked violently at the cell door
and shouted for help.
Deputy United States Marshal Wat
son ran hulredly up stairs followed by
others, unlocked the cell door and en-
teling found Munson in the throes OF
death. DIR. Miller, No. 7l2 King street,
was Immediately sent for and arrived
a few minutes before the man breathed
his last.
Though no postmortem examination
had taken place at the time of going
to press 1t is the general belief that
Munson mixed strychnlne,N which he
had with him. in the water which Mar
shall Mahaify sent up to him, and
drank IL.
Coroner Sparks has been: notified
and Is investigating the case, An in
quest will probably be held this even
ing.
Munson leaves n wife, two sons and
three daughters, who are all in the
greatest distress over the tragic death
OF their father.
