d. d. Adams, the well known brick
mason, committed suicide in the coal
ce,lg7r of his home, 3s4 West Haywood
street about o'clock, today, by cutting
his throat with a razor.
For several months past Mr.. Adams
health had been poor, and at irregular
intervals his actions gave evidence that
he was insane. Mrs. Adams had heard
him say that it would be better if he were
dead, and on one occasion had threat
eued to take his life. Knowing this,
Mrs. Adams kept her husbands pist oil
and razor locked up out of his reach. AL
lowing him to use the latter IN shaving
himself. and in her presence.
So marked had the signs of insanity
become recently that Mrs. Adams sent
for w F. Adams, brother of her hus
band, the idea being to take him back
to his old home in Maine, with the hope
that his mind would improve.
Mr.. Adams, the brother, arrived in
Asheville a day or two ago. and was
preparing to leave on the 2:45 train this
afternoon, taking his brother with him.
D. d. Adams knew of the trip, and had
taken part in the preparations tor his
departure He asked for his razor and
| sha we'd himself, while Mrs. Adams busted
| herself packing his trunk When the
| work OF shaving was completed Mr.
| Adams gave his wife the razor, ana ShS
laid it upon a shelf in the cupboard.
| Mrs. Adams work then called her to
| anOth~r room for few minutes When
| she returned her husband had left the
| room. but his a bsence did not alarm her, as
| she believed he had gone into the yard.
A minute or two passed, and as Mr.:
| Adams did not return, his brother and
| Mrs Adams began a search.
| Mrs. Adams noticed that the razor ha d
disappeared and the searchers finally
| went into the coal cellar, where they
| found Mr.. Adams living on his lett side,
| with his head against he chimney. There
was cash about three inches Long in
his throat. In his left hand was the case
from which he had taken the razor
| which was on the steps near by. covered

DURSTON NOWI CHARGE
Does Not Like Some Arrange
ments at Sing Sing.
THE GOVERNOR NOT YET DECIDED

The New Warden Arrived Last Night
Too Many Prisoners for the Number of
Cells-other Opinions
in Regard to the Final Decision.
SING SING, N Y, May 4-Charles F.
Durston, the new Warden of Sing Sing
Prison. arrived here at 8 o'clock last night
accompanied by his wife and young son, and
took charge of the prison this morning.
He said that while Sing Sing prison was
well conducted, he did not think it was as
well arranged as Auburn prison. Sing
Sing prison, he said, was too crowded; in
some of the cells there were two prisoners,
while at Auburn there is only one man in a
cell Auburn prison has 400 cells and
1858 convicts; Sing Sing has 200 cells
and over /, 400 convicts.
The cells, also he says, are too small for
one convict to say nothing of putting two
into them.
Doubling up should be prohibited" he
said, "as it is detrimental to good health
and is, too, the cause of many escapes.
Auburn prison has much more space than
this and 1t has more industries. l believe
in not having more than 200 men at one
trade. Here they have had as many as
possible"
Warden Durston said in regard to his
hardness, that it has been impossible for
him to take charge of Sing Sing before, as
he had to settle up his accouncs and to
attend to personal matters at Auburn,
which kept him busy longer than he
thought for.
The Governor has not had time to read
the testimony collected by Mr. Raines, and
declines to say at present when he will an
nounce his decision.
AS the time approaches for him to decide
the case those most intimate will find 1t
difficult to judge what his intentions are.
Some. with whom he has talked freely
| on the Harris case, are convinced that he
| intends to commute the sentence.
One State official is so well satisfied from
| the way the Governor attacked the evil
| dence against Harris in his presence that
the young medical student would escape
| the death chair, that he has put a small
wager on his opinion of the result.
On the other hand the Governor has
been known to have said that so far as the
| evidence on the first trial was concerned he
| would have voted to convict.
Some, who have discussed the case with
| the Governor, believe that at first he was
| in favor of committing the sentence, but
| the more he has studied the case the more
| he has been convinced that he would defeat
| the ends of justice by interfering
