long time clerk in the office OF j N.
Asther 4 Co, had attempted TO commit
suicide AZ the home OF his mother No

separated.
His brother, Charles p. Cotton. clerk In
the Office OF the Atlas Dredging Com pany,
stated to an EVENING JOURNAL reporter
this morning that there was no truth IN
the runner and he could not tell how It
originated. He said, In part;
John has been out Of employment
since September and this has worried him
to such degree that he is sick and under
doctors care for nervous affection.
In addition 70 this he smokes q great
many cigarettes and that has contributed
to the breaking down Of his health. As
regards the relations OF himself and his
wife they are, as far as know, OF the

felt SO despondent, and intimated that
he might do something desperate. His
wife did all she could to dissnade him.
Finally he left the house and went TO his
own home, few doors away, went into
the back yard and fred eight shots,
which could be distinctly heard at the
Rauck house.
A few minutes later Raymond, young
brother Of John, ran 10 the home
OF Mr.. Ranok and told the family
that he had tried to shoot

knocking the weapon from his hand.
