DIR. WALTER COLES.
At 1925 o'clock yesterday morning
DR.. Walter Coles the well-known ply
sician and medical examiner of the Mu-
tual Life Insurance Co. and president
Of the Medical society, shot himself
through the head in his office in the
Bank of Commerce building.
The weapon used was 38-calibrc re
volver. The physician went about his
work with deadly delibcration. When
the first shot failed of effect he never
flinched, but pressed the revolver to his
head second time, this time accom-
plishing his design. He then quietly
folded his arms across his breast, re-
tanning the revolver in deadly grip.
In this position his friends from adjoln-
ing offices found him when they rushed
into his room. The theory for his rash
act is that he chose death in preference
to life spent under the dread shadow
of an incurable disease.
DR.. Coles was president of the ST.
Louis Medical society for 1892. That
body will, Of course, make appropriate
recognition of his death.
