REMORSE LED TO SUICIDE
George Mabis, a,Grocer, Found As
phyxiated in His Bath Room.
Inebriety Caused Estrangement Be
tween Himself and His Wife, Who
Left Him-Became Desperate.

George w. Mabis, proprietor OF grocery
store located on the corner of First and
streets southeast, committed suicide
Monday night by asphyxiating himself with
Illuminating gas. His body was found early
yesterday morning in the bathroom of his
house, on First street adjoining the store,
lying in bath tub half filled with water.
The door and window to the room were
tightly closed and the crevices carefully
stopped up. The room was densely filled
with gas, which was escaping from
burner turned ON full
For some time past, it is said, Mabis had
been drinking very hard, and this caused
an estrangement between himself and
Wife. which resulted in Mrs. Mabis leaving
her husband about two weeks ago and
returning to the home of her parents, in
Wheeling, w. Va. Since the separation
Mabis paid very little attention to the
business and drank heavily.
Monday he is said to have drank fully
quart of whisky, and that evening the store
was closed earlier than usual, and he went
into the house and shut himself up. This
was the last seen Of him until yesterday
morning.
William Hussy, Mabis' clerk, went to
the house yesterday morning to get the
key TO open the store. In going through
the house he did not see or hear anything
OF Mabis, and thinking it strange he en-
tered his room. Mabis was not there and
on coming out Hussy detected the odor OF
gas.
He traced 1t to the bathroom and find
ing the door locked on the inside he sus-
pected something wrong and broke it
open. The odor OF gas almost overpowered
him. but he managed TO rush TO the win
dow and throw ii open, and turn off the
gas
Mabis' body was lying across the edge
of the tub, his face inside and his hands
in the water. His coat and vest Were
lying on tue floor by the tub, and his shirt
was open at the throat.
Hussy at once notified the police and
Coroner Hammett was sent for. He ar
rived about 10 O'Clock and decided that
an inquest was unnecessary, as it was
clear case of suicide. A number of papers
and a bottle half full of whisky were found
in the clothing of the deceased.
telegram was sent to Mrs. Ma bis at
Wheeling and she is expected TO return
TO the city this morning. The body was
taken in charge by Mr. Allen X. Wagner,
a brother-in-law of the deceased, and after
ward removed TO Lees undertaking es

burial
