FIX Congressman Thomas M. Bayne
of Pennsylvania committed suicide at
Washington Saturday, by shooting.
DR.. Sewers was announced imme-
diately, and gave it as his opinion
that Mr., Bayne became so frighten-
ed over slight hemorrhage from the
lungs early in the morning that he be-
came demented, and as time wore on
the sight of the blood made it appear
certainty that he had consumption.
No other reason can be ascribed
for the tragedy. The domestic affairs
of Col. Bayne were of the happiest.
He had considerable wealth ; at least,
was in easy circumstances, and was
universally beloved by all who knew
him.

as paid council, excused Colonel
Breckenridge, villitied Miss Pol

Breckenridge paid the penalty OF

had a wife and family to
whom he owed the obligation

if Thompson would kill the al

shallow and unsupported evidence
he had, what would he do if Made
line Pollard was his daughter, and
her case was supported by the I'M
questionable sworn testimony
given in her favor and the defen.
