Dcs Moines, June 3.-E. r. Cassa1 OK
state senator and president Of the First
National bank at Pella. made a seasa
t1onal attempt to commit suicide yes
terday. The bank was closed TODAY bv
order Of Comptroller Eckels. 1t is in
bad shape and much Indignation exists
over the attempt. Cassal had been
largely trusted. For some time he has
been speculating on the Chicago board
of trade, and had suffered heavy losses
OF late, one deal last week costing him
about $4,000. For some time past he
has also been drinking heavily.
About 1880 Sunday morning the as
slstant cashier found Cassal in a room
at the rear OF the bank lying on a cot
with blood oozing from three ugly
gashes in the throat. He was alive. but
weak and unconscious, and probably
still under the influence of liquor.
It appears Cassal had poured poison
into the wounds to aid death, but the
Wh1skey counteracted this His family
IS prominent. His friends claim that
the depositors will be paid in full.
