affair, which Is IS follows:
''PUTthuff and 7 have been, up 70 3
few days ago, working together at the

but since We have been out OF work
Putthuf has been drinking very
heavily and have not seen quite as
much OF him Is formerly.
"Wednesday night he was very
drunk left him early in the even
ing and did not see him again until
about g o'clock today. He asked me
10 have drink with him and at first
refused, but as he insisted and began
10 call me names for not drinking
with him, I accepted and We went 10
the Merchants Exchange. While
there Putthuff told me he was going
out 70 buy pistol, and tried 70 dis
suade him, but he insisted and left in
a hack, saying he was going 70 Hall &
Sons 10 purchase il. He soon came
back with the pistol, but had no cart /
ridges and wanted me 10 buy him
some, IS he said they would not sell 4
him any. When l refused he wanted /
the hackman TO 90, but he wouldn't. /
AT last, as I saw he was again get /
ting drunk, asked him TO 90 home I

He lay down on the bed and asked me 4

be had no money and he said he had /
ten cents. but that was not enough.
He wanted me TO come back in half |
an hour, and he said he would have
for me. The last thing he
aid 10 me was, Good bye, Carlson;
you won't see me any more
when l came back half an hour
alter I saw Putthuff standing on the
covered with blood. asked
him what he had done but he seemed
-sther dazed and said he did not know.
