BELIEVED TO BE SUICIDE.
Inquest on Hubert Ransome Begun by
Coroner Jones Yesterday.

luqu6SL Oh nuU6II hduSOu6 Deguu Dy
Coroner Jones Yesterday.
Coroner Griff Jones took the tes-
timony of ID. E. Harnden yester-
day on the death Of Hubert Gray
Ransome. From the evidence there
is no doubt but that Ransome COM
mitted suicide. Deceased was in
Harnden's employ and received $l2
a month and board for attending
to his horse, COW, and assisting
around the house. He left the
house Tuesday morning, about
1:30 O'clock, and took with him
Harnden's pistol, a pearl-handled
3S-Calibre SiX-shOOter. He had
talked Of suicide to Mrs. Harnden,
and expressed a preference for
laudanum.
The fact that there were no traces
Of powder burn on deceased and
that there was no pistol to be found
does not alter the suicide theory.
Doctors maintain that the pistol
could have been pressed TO the
body and discharged without nee
essarily any trace Of powder burn,
and it Is believed that the pistol
was stolen. What has become OF
the bicycle that is said to have
been seen near the dead body has
not yet been learned.
Deceased was buried yesterday
in the city cemetery on instruc-
tions from his brother, Ernst l..
Ransome, Of Chicago, who tele-
graphed Mr.. Mccormick to bury
him decently and present the bill
to the San Antonio National bank.
Coroner Jones, who first stated
that the man was murdered, be-
lieves, from the tone OF the letter,
that he committed suicide.
