PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Sept. 11.-About s
o'clock this morning the janitor Of
the Haehnlen building. at Alb Ii
brary Street, discovered the dead
body of Charles M. Stokes, Sr.,
we'll known stock broker, lying on the
floor of the room he occupied as an
office. There was bullet hole
through the dead mans head,
and beside the body lay re-
volver with one chamber discharged.
The case was evidently one of suicide,
and the police were notified and took
charge of the body pending the arrival
of the coroner.
The exact time of the suicide cannot
be fixed. AS yet no one has been found
who saw Mr.. Stokes alive later than
O clock yesterday afternoon. Some time
after that hour he must have gone to his
office, and shortly after his arrival there
shot himself. The deed was evidently
committed while Mr.. Stokes was seated
in front of his desk, for the cloth top was
deeply stained with blood. After shoot
ing himself, Mr.. Stokes evidently arose
from his chair and made his way into
the front office, where his body was
found, as blotches of blood are visible
on the floor of the inner Office to the
outer one. No known reason can be
ascribed for the suicide.
Mr.. Stokes was man of about 80
years of age, and was one of the best
known stock brokers in this city. He
was member of the stock brokerage
firm of j. G.. Watmough & Co., which
for years has represented the Philadel-
