He Loved a Man.


ST.. LOUIS, Feb. 24.-The peculi
arities of the Alice Mitchell Freda
Ward case at Memphis are not
confined to the feminine sex il
demonstrated by the suicide here
here yesterday morning of DR.. E.
t. Breedlove, of Baltimore, Md,
who shot himself in the right tenn
pie and death was instautane-
Gus. AT the police station
Isaac Judson said he was in the
room when Breedlove shot himself,
and gave the cause of the act as des-
pondency and strange attachment
to himself (Judson.) A letter found
among the dead mans effects says,
in part: 81 came intending first t.
kill you, then myself, L shall only
make an end of my own miserable
existence. My love for you has been
my ruin. / can no more live apart
from you than fly. There is but
one thing l could have, and that is
to pass the remainder of my life in
your presence. / have loved you
better than you have ever or will
ever be loved again. Pray for my
soul. Amen" Scraps of other
letters of the some tenor were found
in the room. Judson says he has
been an intimate friend of the sui
eide for some time past. Breedlove
had been depressed in mind over
financial matters and failure to
himself in his profession.

THE CURTIS TRIAL.
Now Nearing the Will go TO
The Jury Today.

/ NNs Nss
SAN FKANCIsco, Feb. 24.-The
taking Of testimony in rebuttal ih
the Curtis trial closed yesterday
Only two witnesses ere examined,
Doth being for the defense. Distric.
Attorney Barnes then opened bis
argument to the jury aud said he
would only attempt to state the evi
dcnce fairly, without any appeal to
the prejudices Of the jury, leaving
them responsible for their verdict.
H. pursuance Of this declaration, he
reviewed the testimony, laying
stress on the fact that Mrs. Holden
and Mrs. Johnson, both residing
across the street from where Officer
Grant was shot, heard shots, saw
flashes, saw one man fall and only
one other man run away. A pistol
Of the snme caliber as the one owned
by Curtis was found near by with
three empty chambers. When ar
rested, Curtis exclaimed: 80, my
God If could only recall the past
three or four hours" When arrested.
Curtis had on his wrists the nippers
placed there by the officer. The
district attorney then rehearsed the
story told by Curtis, to the effect
that he was assaulted, and the Off.
Ger was killed by footpad, and In
closing, asked if it were possible for
intelligent men to believe the story
as told.
After District Attorney Barnes
had concluded his argument At
torney knight made the opening
argument for the defense. He
stated that Curtis was known by
reputation to the people of the
United States everywhere, and that
his reputation had always been
good. He claimed it was impossible
for a mind befuddled as was Curtis
on the night of the tragedy to con-
eoct the defense that since has
withstood examination, unless there
was truth in his statements, and he
was satisfied Curtis never had been
prompted as to what defense he
should make. Knight said that
only one witness, Sergeant Coles,
testified that Policeman Grant had
star on when the body was found,
and 1t was further claimed that
Grant was In citizens clothes.
knight claimed that the prosecution
had suppressed evidence, though for
what purpose he could not state.
He criticised the statements of a
number Of witnesses for the prose
cution, and said that on the other
hand, Witness Harrington and Mrs.
Abbott positively testified to three
mcn Icing engaged in the struggle
at the time of the shooting. Mrs.
Curtis created wild sensation in
the midst of Knights speech by
screaming and falling In
faint. The case will probably go to
the jury this afternoon.
