TOOK HIS LIFE.
Henry Burleigh Blew Out His Brains.

Henry Burleigh gave I'D the battle of
life Saturday afternoon when he lay
down on the lounge in the prattily furn-
ishcd parlur Of his home at 159 Oxford
street. pressed the muz2le of revolver
against his temple and pulled the trigger.
The sharp report of the pistol echoed
through the houao and Mr.. Bu1leigh's
l3-year cid son, who wGs standing in the
Eall. was found, pale and trembling,
leaning against the wall, when Mr..
Charles Farr, who lives upstairs and
who had also heard the shor6, came run
ming down. 81 think father has shot
himsolf" said the frightened boy. Mr..
Farr, who knew that Burleieh had been
acting strangely, called officer Pickett,
who went into tho parlor. To do this
the officer was obliged to so through sew
eTal rooms, the door from the hall to the
parlor being locked. Fearing that Bur-
leigh might be dangerous man to meet
il ne were still living and out of his
head, uhe officer went cautiously from
room to room. When he reached the
parlors, however, he saw that Burleigh
could do no more harm. He lay on his
back on the sufa, blood trickling from
bullet hole in his right temple. His
right arm hung over the side of the sofa
and in his hand was still clutched the
small 80 calibre revolver. Two chambers
OF the pistol were still loaded. The man
had removed his coat and vest before he
lay down on the lounge.
Coroner Hall was called, but deemed
no inquest necessary, it being perfectly
plain that it was case of suicide.
Burleigh had early in the afternoon
taken his little boy and gone out
Whilo out, he had, bought the
pistol, telling the hoy that he wanted
it TO shoot d cat. He then returned home,
left the boy in the hall and went into the
room from which he was not to come out
alive. Death must have been instantane-
us. The dead man Was about 40 years
old and was son Of the late Josiah Bur-
leigh. He has been a man of dissipated
habits and has lately been acting in q
manner which lead people to believe
that he was Insane. He is known to have
threatened to kill himself. His wife, a
daughter, and the son survive him. The
daughter is away at school and Mrs. Bur
leigh has been employed in q store on
Congress street. There the little boy
ran, taking the news Of his fathers sui
eide to the wife and mother.
Mrs. Burlaigh was 50 overcome by the
news. of her husbands death that it was
several hours before she could return to
her home
When Burleigh left his house yester-
day afternoon, he went to q BARRIERS shop
to get shaved. His little boy was
with him and be appeared to be in
good health and spirits. He left the
shop remarking that he should soon re-
turn as the little boy wanted to have his
hair cut. The dead man, 1t is said left
off his drinking habits sometime ago.
He has recently been employed as a pain
ter, but was evidently not in his right
mind and acted SO strangely that his EN-
ployer found 1t necessary to refuse him
more work.
About two weeks ago Burleigh took a
dose of laudnum and physician was
called in and worked over him for two
hours. He then said that he should some
Jay try again to end his life
