He MAY DIE.
Charles t. Adams Takes Morphine at His
Lodging House.

About three weeks ago, man about
thirty five or forty years OF age TOOK
room at No. 60 Free street. lie gave the
name of Charles 7. Adams. He was a
large man of about two hundred pounds
weight or more, smooth shayen except
small dark mouslache. He had but little
baggage his effects consisting of grip
and some circulars. few days ago he
was asked for payment for his room. He
said he was down on his luck and had no
money. He had watch which the pro-
prietor of the house thought he ought to
let him have as security. Mr.. Adams
said it was worthless. He finally gave
had been noticed out of the way about
him until Thursday afternoon, when he
went home drunk. in company with two
young men. Later they left and he went
to bed, and when the girl carried the
lamp to his room at night he was asleep
in bed. About ten O'Clock in the morn
ing he got up and called the girl and
wanted her to hear his story. The girl,
supposing her was intoxicated. told him
that If he didn't go back to his room and
behave himself she would have him
turned out. He went back and nothing
mere was heard of him till yesterday
afternoon about two O'Clock.
At that time the girl ascertained that
Adams had not left his room, and she in
formed the proprietor of the house. That
gentleman Immediately entered the room
and found Adams in bed breathing
heavily and unconscious. He sent for
City Physician Pudor and telephoned the
police station. DR.. Pudor found Adams
suffering evidently from the effects of
poison, probably morphine, and used
every effort to restore him.
Adams, it is said, was an actor, with
the Silver Crook company, the organiza-
tion that the police shut down on last
winter.after one nights performance. He
was out of health and remained behind
after the company left Portland. He has
tried, it lie said, several ways to get a
living. He was q salesman for Gately s,
O'Gorman, and runner for a Prot.
Charles. dealer in optical goods. Among
his few effects was Knights of Pythias
pin and two large photographs of q very
good looking woman, and he had written
on the back: "Let her come to and gaze
Oh the ruin she has wrought. She lives
at ----, Portland, Me. God bless her
though fear He won't for she often ex-
pressed wish for an axe to chop her
brains out"
He left this note for the proprietor OF
the house:
"God bless you, and if letter comes,
open it and act as you would in like
emergency.
| &C. T. ADAMS.
"Good bye
it is reported that the photographs are
those of A woman with whom he had
lived at Swett's hotel, and the inference
| is that she had worked him for all be
was worth, +" and then lett him, and he
| finding it more and more difficult to earn
his living, and still dead in love with the
woman in q fit Of depression caused by
drink, took the poison.
At late hour last night Mr.. Adams
was still alive, but it was very doubtful
if he would be able to overcome the
effects of the poison. He recovered con-
sciousness sufficient at one time to say a
few words. apparently of regret that the
doctors was restoring him to life. but be
was almost insensible to pain.
