DOWN FORTY FEET
Suicide of a Seattle Mer-
chant
AT A PRIVATE HOSPITAL.
John SchIesinger Leaps From a
High Window.
THE FACTS WERE CONCEALED.
No Notice Sent to the Coroner-fie
Will Make an Investigation
of the Case.
THE FACTS WERE CONCEALED.

Among the notices published in yester-
day mornings papers was the following
announcement of the death oil John
Schlesinger, a we'll J. to -do merchant OF
Seattle.
SCHLESINGER-In this city, October 25, John
SchlesInger (Iately from Sesttle), beloved hus-
band of Ernestine and father OF Stella, Alma
and Mervin Schlesinger, native OF LandsDerg
SiIesis, aged 46 years.
Among the many who read the simple
announcement was Attorney Henry L.
Kowalsky. who was acquainted with the
dead mans family. Kowalsk5 was inter-
ested at once, and when he learned that
Scblesinger had committed suicide and
that an attempt was being made to conceal
the fact from The Coroner. and thus pre-
vent an Investigation, he became indignant
and at the request of the family fastened
to the Morgue, where he told what he had
learned to a deputy.
An investigation was Instituted and the
Coroner Obtained conclusive evidence of
the fact that Schlesinger had died vio-
lent death, and that for some reason the
persons who were in possession of the
facts had tried TO have the body buried
without an inquest.
1t was learned that Schlesinger came
from Seattle one month ago, and was
vate hospital, at 4O4 Eddy street. He was
suffering from nervous prostration and
DR.. Martin krOt0SZyner and nurse were
engaged to attend to him.
Schlesinger was unable to sleep Wednes-
day night. He rolled nneasily back and
forth upon his bed until o'clock in the
morning, when he called the nurse.
Il want some whisky" he said, Il can
not sleep without it,"
The nurse, according to the story he
told the Coroner's deputy, left the room
and went to the dispenSary for the liquor.
When he returned the bed and the room
were tenantess, but the window was
open. His patient had Ieaped from the
easement to the ground forty feet below,
and lay grOaning upon the pavement
Schlesinger was taken back to his room
unable 10 speak. His leg was broken and
he was suffering from internal Injuries.
Three hours later he died, and the body
that ought to have been sent to the Mnrgue
was taken 70 an undertaker's rooms on
Sutter street.
DR.. Kr0tosZyDer told the under taker that
be would give the necessary certificate of
the cause of death, but both he and the
undertaken knew that 1t was their duty to
notify The Coroner. SchleSinger's rela-
tives, who were paying S100 month for
his care, thought 1t was rather strange that
he should have been left alone by the
nurse, and at their request kowalsky noti-
ned the Coroner.
Z. Z. Cooper, N. D., is superintendent of
the sanitarium. He was asked why the
case had not been reported to the Coroner,
and replied that the matter had been lett
in the hands of the attendant physician,
and the hospital officials had given no fur
Their attention TO il.
The Coroner sent DR.. Emerson TO the
undertaker's to make an autopsy of Schles-
ingers body, and an inquest will be held
over the remains on Monday.

The Outlook Is in Favor of the

The cricket carnival went on yesterday
by match Al Alameda between Bakers

crowd of spectators, and the day, in respect
OF weather, was ideal.
The Alamedas went in first, and their
best wickets fell for nothing. But one of
those unexpected changes occurred; Price
and Lewis ''came off" in wonderful shape,
and scored over sixty runs between them.
The innings closed for 112.

@Sweet Charifvv


In the Artists Exhibition of 1893 at the
New York Academy Of Design, there was
exhibited an oil painting by J. L. Ferris,
entitled "Sweet Charity" Its richness Of
coloring commanded instant attention, while
the lesson it taught impressive that
one naturally returned to it for a second
view.
Its subject is a young lady Of co.onial
times who is on an errand to one Of the
spoorer families of the town. She has a SEN
'esible, charming face, which expresses With
remarkable fidelity the sentiment Of her
''errand. There is not a home that this
charming picture will not ornament. 1t
must be seen to be appreciated.
