BROOKLYN NEWS.
BACCED A BURGLAR. POISON FOR LONELINESS
Unidentified Body of a Suicide
Near Ridgewood Reservoir.
An Unsigned Message, Written In
German, Found in the Clothing.

NEWTOWN, l.. l., Aug. 1.-THE body
OF an unknown man. apparently about
90 years old, S feet inches in height,
was found near the reservoir Of the
Brooklyn water works in Ridgewood
this morning.
The man had gray hair and mustache
and was bald. The body was dressed
IN black and white coat, blue vest and
trousers, white shirt. white flannel I'M
derclothing. black stockings and laced
shoes. Beside the body was a black
straw hat. On n string fastened to
the coat was pair Of eyeglasses.
Near the body was found an empty
whiskey flask, which contained poison.
Ihe man had evidently committed sui
eide. as the bottle was partly emptied.
Coroner Brandon, of Newtown, was
summoned and ordered the body re-
moved to Skeletons morgue at Newtown.
In pocket of the clothing was a
piece of paper on which the following
was written in German:
Il stand all alone In the world. with
nobody to help me-"
The note was unsigned, and there was
nothing that would lead to the identity
OF the man. From the tone of the note.
II is evident that the suicide of the man
was caused by dependency.
Within the past week there have been
four suicides in the town OF Newtown.

DETECTIVES TIRED HIM OUT.
So Embe..ler O'key Surrendered
Himself to Inspector Mclaughlin.

On a complaint of stealing n 500 check
from Richard Meares. proprietor of the
Hotel st. Lorenzo. Lexington avenue
and Seventy-second street. July 20 last,
Frederick c. O'Key. twenty-eight years
old, an Australian by birth. was held
in 5000 bail in Yorkville Court to-day
for further examination Monday.
At the time OF the theft O'Key was n
clerk at the hotel. He was given the
check to cash for the purpose of paying
Off the help. but in place of doing so
he absconded with 1t. Since then De-
tectlve-Sergts. Grady and Doran have
been on the lookout for O'Key. but they
failed to locate him.
4 few weeks ago the detectives
haunted Asbury Park. where they heard
he had friends, but could not get any
clue to his whereabouts.
II now appears that they were close
on his trail, and O'key, tired OF lodging
the detectives, went To Police Head
quarters last night and surrendered him
self to Inspector Mclaughlin.
When arraigned before Justice Taintor
he declined TO make any statement, and
asked for time to consult with some
friends. O'Key's rulnatiOn was due to
betting on horses.
