TURNED ON The GAS.
L. Laroche, a French Official,
Found Dead in Bed.
He Had Been III for Years and Was
on His Way Home.
! Drank q Bottle of Wine and Then
Prepared to Die.

Ludger Laroche, forty-five years old.
a Director in the Department of the
Interior of the French Republic, was
a~sphyxiated by gas in the Hotel de
Paris, rs Christopher street, this morn
ing. 1t is supposed he committed sui
eide.
He had been in the city only since
last night, and was on his way to
France in the hope Of improving his
failing health.
Several years age NJ. Laroche went to
Port OF France, on the Island OF Mar
! Unique, in the West Indies. He was
the representative of the French Min
lister Of the Interior.
A year ago his health gave way
under the hot climate. Then. at his
own request. NJ. Laroche was transferred
to the French fishing colony at st.
Pierre MiQuelon, Newfoundland.
1t seemed for a time as though the
change would do him good, but a month
ago physicians advised him that he
must have another change, and ordered
him to take a trip to France.
This NJ. Laroche decided to do. Late
yesterday afternoon he landed at the
Commercial Stores, Brooklyn, from the
steamer Charles Martell, and an hour
later registered at the Hotel de Paris.
With him was a friend, said to be an
attache of the French consulate here.
The two drank a bottle Of wine to-
gether. At 1890 o'clock NJ. Laroche re-
tired and his friend left. saying he
would call again this morning.
floor. In the next room was the Wis.,
count Aubigney d'Essy and his valet.
The valet smelled gas about midnight;
He thought the meter was leaking and
opened all the windows.
A chambermaid passing through the
halls at $50 o'clock this morni~ 'rying
to find where the gas was leaking.
thought It came from NJ. Laroche's room.
She knocked at the door, but there was
no response.
Then she hurried to Harry J. Matson.
the proprietor Of the house. He climbed
into the room through window.
M. Laroche was lying In bed dead.
The gas burner was turned on full
and all the windows were closed. On
the table all of NJ. Laroche's ~valuables
and papers were spread out. He had
not even left In his pocket a piece of
paper.
The arrangement OF the papers on the
table convinced the police hat the man
had deliberately planned and committed
suicide.
The most prominent Of his effects was
a large book on which was printed In
gold letters, the dead mans name and
title. The friend who was with NJ.
Laroche last night had not called at the
hotel up to noon to-day.
NJ. Laroche was to have sailed for
France next Saturday.
The French Consul was informed and
he will a charge Of the body.

DEAD AT THE WINDOW.
Dependent from Hlness, Andreas
Shot and Killed Himself.

Dependent from Hlness, Andreas
shot and Killed Himself.
When Jacob Andreas's wife returned
to their poo little home or h sixth
floor at Sc Second street last evening
after spending the afternoon with neigh
bors she was Mortified to find that her
husband had taken his life. He sat in
a chair before the front windo dead.
There was a bullet wound In his right
temple and a revolver lay on the floor
close by.
None Of the neighbors had heard the
shot. although Andreas was in plain
view OF people across the way. He had
been dead several hours. Dependency,
the result of long illness, and inability
to help the frugal. Industrious wife to
earn a living were the cause Of the
suicide. Andreas was forty-eight years
old: He was a constructive. and OF late
had a painful throat disease. He had
been in America fifteen years, and had
been q steady worker as a cabinet
maker, and had ave up a mug little
sum against a rainy day. The rainy
day had lasted for fifteen months. The
savings had been eaten up, and Mrs.
A~ndreas's earnings as a washerwoman
were meagr
A peculiar thing about the suicide is
thai there were no burns nor powder
marks about the wound, a point that
will be made use Of by Brooke, O'Sulli-
van and Chanler in the defense of
