MONTE CARLOS LATEST VICTIM.
An American Who Committed Suicide
Through Heavy Losses.

An American Who Committed Suicide
Through Heavy Losses.
NICE, June 1.-The statement sent
out to the effect that the Welbregg sui
eide at Monte Carlo WAS a canard are
utterly false. He stopped at Nice for
one week and became known to a NUM-.
Der of people. He appeared to be .
German-American, and the spelling OF
his name seems to have varied. Dur
ing his stay in Nice Of week or more
he went every day to Monte Carlo.
There he lost heavily. Then his for
tune changed and for time he was win
ner. At length, on the 23d or oath of
this month, he lost enormously, the
total amount of his losses being about
500, 900 francs. Then, as already
cabled, he committed suicide in the
reading room of the Casino. The ball
with which he shot himself broke the
mirror, after inflicting fatal wound
upon him, and the shattered mirror
was for some time evidence of the
tragedy that had occurred. The secret
burial, after dark, occurred as stated.
The Monte Carlo people are silent
about the tragedy, except to send out
the report that the story ls canard.
Their reason 10 obvious. II is the very
time when they wish to allure large
and profitable patronage OF Americans,
and the suicide OF . ruined American
would have . depressing effect upon
the games.
