PHOTOGRAPHED HIS SUICIDE.-Miles
Peree, photographers, of Albany, VT,
posed himself in the big plush chair in
his gallery with the utmost nicely one
dag last week. He presented three
Quarters view of the lens of the cam
era, which was focused upon him a
close range. A drop shutter was at
tacued to the instrument, and an i'll
stsutaneous plate was in the holder.
When the photographers had adjusted
himself to his liking, be picked up big
revolver that lay on the table conve-
uiently near, cooked it and held the
muzze against his right temple.
la his left hand he gripped the bulb
connecting with the camera.
"All ready; look pleasant, please"
Did some ghostly echo pronounce the
words?
As the fore6nger of the photogra
piers right hand pressed the trigger
bis left contracted upon the ruboer
bulb. simultaneously with the report
of the weapon the eye of the camera
winked, and that was all. The body
of the man collapsed in The red plush
chair. The pistol fell with ciatter 10
the floor, cloud of white smoke ed
died up toward the skylight and slowly
dispersed, and all was silent.
An hour or two later the body OF be
man was found. There was the usual
wild excitement in the village: the con-
stables were called, and then the coro-
ner. The camera was showed out OF the
way. The verdict was suicide by reason
of temporary insanity.
The real reason is that nobody in
Albany wanted to be photographed,
aud that Miles Pierce bad no more
money.
Next day the man who had purchased
the Photographic outfit found the plate
in the camera He had the curiosity
to develop it. When the image on the
negative sprsng in view, he was so
startled that he lot it fall and smashed
the glass.
It was pieced together and a few
proofs printed from it. The owner bas
exhibited them ouly to few persons,
and will not part with any. The drop
shutter did its work, and the picture
was recorded the instant when the
bullet had pierced the photographers
