MEXICAN Ex-IvspEcToR OF POLICE
COMMITS SUICIDE.
THE ARROYO LYHCHIHG PLOT.
The Ex-Inspeetor Admits Having
Taken Part I'm the Crimc--Bc Takes
pcct.

CITY OF MEXICO, September 2i-Ex-
Inspector tor-General-of-Police Eduardo vc-
lasquez committed suicide I'm Belem
prison to-day. He was % years old. The
Inspector blew his brains out with re-
volyer. He was a proud man, exceed
ingly reserved, and very ambitious, his
rise from an humble position through
various posts to the command OF tho
police having been sufficiently rapid to-
attract attention TO him as a man OF
great talent. Since the alleged lynching
plot was exposed, and he. with other
police, was Imprisoned he has suffered
from an intense nervous strain. Ha
was subjected yesterday 10 a long ex-
animation by Judge Flores, and at tho
conclusion OF that ordeal. on his return
to his room in the prison, 1t was noted
that he showed great detection and
anguish of mind.
At II o'clock this morning the warden
OF the prison went to call him. He APP
preached the bed. and said In a friendly
tone. as he knew the prisoner well;
"Come, my boy it's time to get up; tha
he began to shake the Inspector. saying,
Don't be lazy" when he noticed that
Velasquez had bullet-wound In tho
right temple. and on investigating
further he discovered a small. two-
barrelled pistol with which the ace
had been committed. The muzzle OF the
pistol had been placed so close to the
temple and so pressed into the skin, that
il practically made no noise on being
discharged, hence tho fact that no re-
port was heard by the guards. How
the pistol reached the prisoner Is under
Investigation.
The warden Immediately notified the
judicial authorities. who went at once
to the room OF the suicide and sum-
moned medical men. During the after
noon relatives OF the dead man were
allowed TO enter the prison, which had
been closed TO the public. Doctors had
concluded the examination, and had
found that death must have been In
stantaneous, the bullet being imbedded in
the brain. The body was dressed and
delivered to the relatives.
A letter was found I'm the room, in
which Velasquez made a statement to
the public, saying his death was. he
felt. the satisfaction he owed TO society.
He also said that the crime was sug-
gested 10 him by Inspector Nillavicencio,
OF the Second Police District. who Is in
prison. Nelasquez stated that under no
other circumstances but high official au-
thority could anything have induced him
TO take part I'm the crime lie felt that
his loyalty TO his Chief Executive war;
rantcd him I'm putting Arroyo to death.
Velasquez had very large acquaint-
ance. having been employed after
leaving college in the Department OF
Finance and been secretary 10 the
Minister OF Finance. At ono time he
was connected with the newspaper III
Combate, and had at an early age been
elected to Congress. He had Effected
many reforms during his incumbency az
Inspector.

never found wanting. He rose as his

trious surgeon, and a distinguished
citizen.
JUDGE CHRISTIAN ACCEPTS.
Judge George L. Christian. who was
also introduced by Judge Minor. ac-
cepted the portrait on behalf Of the camp.
No pleasanter duty could have been
assigned to him, he said, for DIR. Nc
CURE had been not only a devoted
friend, but a devoted family physician,
too. for more than a quarter of a CEN
tury The fact that General Jackson
selected DR.. Mcguire for the important
position OF medical director Of his army
corps, and retained him in that position
as long as he lived, proves not only that
ne was competent for the important
work, but that he did his whole duty in
his office. The simple statement that DR..
Mcclure was a trusted friend and staff
officer Of the great Jackson would Itself
entitle his picture to a place in the
galaxy of Confederates that the camp was
gathering. He said that the portrait
should adOrn the walls because Of the
Philadelphia incident, because of his war
record, because he is favorably mem
toned in every dispatch that General
Jackson ever wrote, because of his in
domitable courage, his ability TO orga-
nize, his sympathy for suffering
humanity. his attention TO mis- chief du-
ring his last hours, and because he
caught the dying words OF the great and
sanity soldier as he went into the pre-
sence of the Captain Of bis salvation.
Judge Christian gave many other reasons
why the portrait should hang upon the
walls Of the camp. and eulogized, in
glowing terms, the civil, as well as the
military career Of the eminent doctor.
THE BUSTs PRESENTED.
Captain Frank Cunningham then sang.
with much taste and feeling, loft i'm the
Silly Night" and Hon. ID. G. Richard
son was introduced by Colonel Archer
TO present the busts Of General Johnston
and Sam Davis. The bust OF General
Joseph Il. Johnston was made I'm 1862
by "A Mr. Volk, the same sculptor who
made the death mask Of Stonewall jack
son. Mr. Richardson made a very elo-
duent and interesting speech He gave
the history Of the busts and retold the
story Of Sam Davis, who chose death
at the foot Of the scaffold rather than
to break his word, given TO a member
Of General Dodge's STAFF, who had re-
yealed to the scout secrets OF the utmost
importance. The two statues, he said,
were representative types Of the Con-
federate army. He dwelt upon the moral
influence Of such lives as those Of john
ston and Davis.
Major n. V. Randolph, in accepting the
statuettes, spoke Of his lifelong friend
ship for the donor who had been a
nurse during the war, and who he said,
would be remembered by hundreds of
old soldiers to their dying day. He felt
peculiar pride in having been appointed
to accept the bust Of Sam Davis.
The Cunningham Quartette sang two
selections, and the proceedings, which
had been greatly enjoyed, came TO an
end.
