LATHAM SHOT HIMSELF
He was a Clerk in the Boston Store
and was Despondent.
THE WOUND IS A SERIOUS ONE,
The Only Reason for the Deed Which can
DO surmised IL the Death OF His, Wife
Short Time ~ago-Taken to the Hos
pital.

Theodore B. Latham, clerk at the Bos-
ton store, attempted to commit suicide
at his boarding house, 12l Clifford street,
this morning. Latham is about 80 years
OF age and has been employed in the
wholesale department of the store for
nearly a year. For a few weeks past, his
actions have been strange and at times
his friends have been alarmed for fear of
some such rash deed.
Soon after the departure of his room
mate this morning, Latham picked up a
22-calibre revolver, and after a moments
reflection placed the muzzle to his temple,
pulled the trigger and fell to the floor.
The pistol shot, coupled with the heavy
fall, aroused the inmate Of the house, and
a later the door was forced open.
Latham lay on the floor, with the blood
gushing from an ungly wound on the
head.
He was conscious when picked up, but
relapsed Immediately. into insensibility.
DIR. Pomroy was called and attended the
man and soon afterward he was removed
to the Rhode Island Hospital in the am
bulance.
The wound, although not necessarily
fatal. Is serious, and will require consider
able care. The bullet ploughed across the
scalp from the right temple to the crown
Of the head and made a painful cash.
Nc reason can be given for the attempt
suicide. although it has been stated that
the death of Latham's wife about two
months < unsettled him, since which
time he has e G moody and respondent.
Latham is a native of England, but
came to this country many years ago.
Previous to his residence in this city ne
was employed In New Bedford. He was
extremely popular among his fellow
workmen and had many friends.
AT a late hour this afternoon the C ondi-
ton OF Latham was exceedingly serious,
ind there are fears that the man will not
recover. An effort was made to locate
the bullet, but was unsuccessful. 1t is
thought that the ball is lodged in the
brain. Latham is conscious, but cannot
give any reason for his attempt. An ex-
animation of the mans effects was made
and several letters were found addressed
TO friends. One of the letters referred to
financial troubles, and it is supposen that
a tit OF temporary liberation produced by
continual brooding over his troubles was
the cause of the deed.

IL Some Chance OF Her Recovery-An
Early Morning Sensation.


BOSTON, Mass, April 13.-George Merry,
variety actor, attempted to kill his wife
early this morning by shooting her in the
back. She is dying at the City Hospital.
The scene of the attempted murder was
at Walter Emerson's lodging house, 172
Harrison avenue The cause for the
crime was jealousy.
For two months past they have had
continual rows and on each occasion
Merry has displayed a revolver and a
knife, threatening to end her life. The
aus of the jealousy which ended In such
a tragic manner, is Peter Skeeley, a Cana
a n museum freak. Peter first met
the woman, whose stage name Is Ethel
Beaumont, at the Worlds Theatre two
months & aud being somwhat smitten
paid some attention to her. They met
again at a museum in South Boston, and
since then Merry has been watching for
some proof of unfaithfulness.
Thursday the elimination was reached,
Skeeley having followed them and secured
a room next to Merry's. Merry accosted
Skeeley after supper last night. He told
him if he wanted the woman to take her.
but look out. Skeeley was evidently in a
great state of anxiety, for when he retired
at 2 o'clock this morning he did not re-
move his clothes. He had been in bed
about two hours when the report Of a re-
volver and "A woman's shrek came to his
ears, and jumping to the door he saw
Merry ~Ieisurely walking down stairs with
his clothes aud grip.
Skeeley rushed to the room from
which he heard the shot aud there
stretched out on the bed lay the body of
Ethel. He turned her over when she said:
.Oh, I'm shot. send for a DOCTOR and fell
back unconscious. Skeeley rushed for AZ
sistance. Merry has not been found.
1t is said by Skeeley that the woman
was not Merry's wife. She and Skeeley
had planned to elope to-day and get mar
ried. and this led up to the shooting.
The police think Merry has gone to
relatives. At the hospital it is said the
woman may recover. She Is only Is years
