DEATH CAME TO HIS RELIEF
Capt. Fletcher Expires From the Effects
of His Wound

Capt. John r. Fletcher who shot HIM
self, with suicidal intent, on Tuesday
afternoon at his residence on Fifth
street, died yesterday morning little
before o'clock from his wound. From
the first there was little or no hope of
his recovery held out by the attending
physician, and the surprise is that Ne
lasted as long as he did. DR.. Sawyer,
who remained in attendance at his bed
side throughout the night and until the
end came, said last evening that Capt.
Fletcher passed away quietly and with
out pain, the immediate cause OF the de .
mise being the lodging of clot OF blood
in the fourth ventricle of the brain, the
clot having formed and been carried
there by blood vessel.
During the entire time up to within
few moments before his death Capt.
Fletcher was entirely conscious and SUI
fered little or no pain. He rested quietly
during the night and slept several hours.
He conversed with friends and with his
wife at frequent intervals. No further
explanation of his reasons for the deed
were vouchsafed, but that II had to he
done, as he suffered so terribly that he
was unable to bear it. Toward morning
he fell into dose, and Dr. Sawyer lef.
the room for minute. He was called
by Mrs. Fletcher who had noticed sud-
he saw the patients condition he knew
the end was at hand and told the weep
ing wife SO. Without a struggle and
with only gasp or two for breath the
life went out and Capt Fletcher was q
corpse.
The coroner's inquest was held in the
afternoon at the residence and resulted
in a verdict of suicide being found. The
attending physicians testified as to the
cause of death and Mrs. Fletcher told
of the incidents attending the act. DR..
Tucker, a dentist, said that Capt
Fletcher had an appointment with him
in the afternoon to have some work done
on his teeth; that he had come up and
said he would cancel the engagement, as
he would not now need the work per-
formed. On leaving he babe Dr. Tucker
good-by, and the witness thought his
manner strange at the time. His testi-
mony seemed to show that at the time
Capt. Fletcher paid his visit he had al
ready made UP his mind to end his
misery.
The funeral will be held Friday from
the residence, the services being con-

HE WAS READY TO DIE.
An Unsuccessful Attempt at Suicide
Which Has Been Kept Quiet


One week ago tonight on September
18th, an attempt at suicide was made by
a young man in this city by means of the
morphine route which was unsuccessful.
The particulars of the affair have here
tofore been kept from the public and
were only lately learned. AS the would
be suicide Is now very much alive and
rapidly recovering from the effects of
the drug his name is withheld, for the
reason that 1t Is anticipated he would
make another and probably more sue
cessful attempt should the notoriety at
tached to such a proceeding be fasten-
ed to his name.
The young man Is married and has for
some time resided in this city, coming
here for his health. His wife was alb
sent from town on a visit to her parents
when he made the attempt on his life
and he was stopping at the house of
friend on TOwne avenue. At $40 in the
evening the friend returned from work.

having taken some 10 or ~ grains of
morphine. From that hour until the
next morning they worked before any
signs of returning life were visible.
AS the patient was unable to swallow,
artificial respiration and hypodermic in
jections only could be employed, but at
$3.50 the next morning the patient was
able to be removed to the county hospi-
tai. where he now is. His wife returned
to the city Tuesday and to her the hus-
band unbosomed himself. He felt so
poorly in health was out of work and
his finances were so low that he had de-
cided to end it all. He was cheered up
and will be discharged in a day or two
to begin the battle of life over again.
