ing Several Persons He Would DO So.
Roundsman Hammond of the Hoboken
police was on his way home, Saturday
night, shortly after twelve O'Clock. when,
as he crossed Third street, on Washing
ton, he heard a pistol shot In the di-
rection of River street. which is two
blocks to the east of Washington street.
The roundsman. who was in plain clothes.
walked toward River street and saw people
running toward Fourth and River street.
Hammond was Informed that a maj had
shot himself, and, lying on the sidewalk
between Third and Fourth streets, he
found a man struggling in deaths throes
with a revolver under his head. There
was a large hole in the mans head and
his brain was p~rotruding. The sergeant
summoned Officer Kruse, who was on
beat nearby, and an ambulance being cali
ed the man was k to st. Mary's Hos
pital.
He was attended by DR.. Kndlich. who
at once said there was no hope for his
life. He died before morning and County
Physician Converse was notified.
The man was William Jobs, thirty-five
years of age, who worked for a firm of
ship riggers in New York, and had a fur
nished room at Ne. 30 Third street. 10
boken. In his pockets were g watch,
twenty-four cents and a photograph OF
Miss Christina Moller. daughter of Jur-
gems Moller, of No. l57 Seventh street.
Miss Moller, when seen, said that Jobs
had called at her house early IN Sat-
urQay evening, ana while Standing at the
gate he had shown her a revolver which
he said he was going to use that night.
Although she sa d he did not act like him
self she did not think seriously of what
he said at the time and thought he was
joking. Before he left her he handed her
a note and when she went into the house
she read it and it stated hat he would
be dead before two o'clock in the morn
ing. Miss Moller became alarmed n
went out to make search for him but
could not find him. She said that she
and Jobs were engaged and were to be
married on Chr stmas Day. She said she
could give nc reason why her lover
had killed himself. His death was an aw-
full shock to her and she is in a very
nervous state.
After Jobs had left his sweetheart,
he went to River street and with tvs
friends, John Schlict ng, captain of a
coal boat, at the Bremen dock and the
cook on the tug Colonel g. A. Stevens,
he entered Meyer & Steneck's saloon on
River street. While drinking, he displayed
a revolver and said he was going to use
it on himself. His friends did not at first
think much of his threat because he
was somewhat intoxica ed. Later, how
ever, they became suspicious and at
tempted to take the revolver away from
him, but were unsuccessful. Jobs told
his friends that he was waiting for two
O'Clock, when he would show how to use
his revolver. They again tired to take the
revolver away from him but he left the
place, walked a few stens, put the re-
volver to his right temple and fired.
