George Cartwright, whose residence is
unknown, was found nearly dead this,
Friday morning, in Et. Wayne live stock
car by BaeRsRemaster Lsalie. The man
wao taken 10 police headquarters In dy-
inR condition.
Leslie went into car this morning to
secure an armful of straw. As he steps
ped into the car he heard n few groans, as
though some human being were IN dls~
tress. Upon looking around he discover
ed the head of u man protruding from the
pile of straw with big fur cap covering
the Uranium, He went to him and found
him in terrible plight, frozen almost
stiff, and unable, beyond barely audible
groan, TO utter any sound. He was at
once removed from the car and Officers
Slagle and Bederman summoned,
who, with the police patrol
wagon, conveyed the man to
police headquarters. DR.. Fraun-
feltor who wac passing by, was called in
and efforts made to restore the man, He
was placed on couch formed with
blankets, and restoraiives were applied.
His pulse ebbed very low and there were
little hopes OF eventually reviving him.
During the act or resuscitatiug hitn q
physician, who pronounced II as that
effected by dose OF opium. Officer SlaN
gle at once searched the mans clothing
and found n pocbetbOok and small men,
orandum book. Upon opening the latter
a startling statement was found written
therein, indicating that the man had ats
tempted to take bis own life and that the
condition of freezing was only secondary
matter.
CARTwRIGHT's STATEMENT.
"To whoever finds this corpse: This is
TO certify that / commit this act ia full
possession Of all my mental faculties. My
ressops for 40 doing are as follow1: /
am n mechanic, have been out OF employ
ment ten weeks; have found IL imv ossible
to get work OF any kind in
that time. Today l spent the
last cent possessed, and being sick and
in need of treatment that cannot get, /
have after due thought concluded TO re-
lieve myself in this manner. Do not try
to fud my relatives as l have none living
that / know Of. My name is George Cart
wright, am an American, Al years Of age.
Do not condemn me too severely for
cannot beg, and under all circumstances
this is the only way can see ou. of my
difficulties. &C."
The above was written in a plain and
neat hand. The pocketbook contained n
small knife, q wire gauge, a leedpencil
and piece OF mineral ore. In the back
part of the memorandum book was found
drawn a small plan, apparently of rail-
way tracks, but its location cannot be
established. Who this strange parsonage
is and his object in taking bis life In this
way, cannot be coDjectured outside of the
confession in the book.
DEATH WAS CERTAIN
from the first, as the unfortunate man
was too far gone when discovered, to
make possible an extension OF his time in
this world. DR.. Fraunfelter did all that
was possible for the poor fellow, but be
| o'clock the connection between ooul and
| body was severed. His remains will be
| taken in char1a hy tho touype hin au.bor;-
