Futile had for some time past Ueeu SullcTlllS lTOIIl Illenldl lTUuUleS, owing principally to the depression in business, which seemed to have com. pletely upset his reason and he was closely watched, but it was, not thought that he contemplated taking his own life About 10 o'clock Saturday morn. ing MT.
