lily.
Now lie Becomes Despondent Through
Grief and Chugrin. and Com
mits suicide.

Chicago; Nov. 90 Grief and chagrin
over the disgrace of his father, Charles
NJ. Charnley, according to his friends,
drove to suicide JamesCharnley, who
was found in his room in the Hotel
Pfester, Milwaukee with a bullet hole
In his head. Charles NJ. Charnley, for
mer president OF the Presbyterian
board OF anus for colleges and acade-
mics, disappeared last summer, short
some 100000 Of the funds entrusted to
him. This weighed heavily ON the sons
mind, and 1t is said that for some time
the young man had been i'll.
This second chapter in the family IS
sorrow comes with crushing weight,
as young Charnley had assumed the
place at the head of the family which
his father had left vacant. During the
days when the story of Charles NJ,
Charnley's shortage was being ex-
plotted in the papers, and ever since,
young Charnley had remained in this
city and borne the brunt of the recrim-
nation, notoriety and disgrace. For
months before his fathers disappear
ance, 1t is said, the pending disaster,
which had hung like Damocles sword,
by "A single thread, likely at any time
to be broken, was known to the young
man.
Up to last night there was apparent
~ nothing to show VINO the dead man
was. He had emptied his pockets of
everything which might give some clue
and all that remained for the police
to work ON was a handkerchief with
the initials IT. s." and a gold band on
one of his fingers engraved with the
words. Easter Sunday"
1t was also discovered that all the
clothing he wore was purchased in
Chicago, but there were no marks that
would give the slightest clue. Last night
n newspaper reporter from Chicago
was in the city, visited the morgue
with the deputy coroner, and made
n thorough examination of the cloth
ing. The discovery was made of the
name y. Douglas. Chicago" in the
suicides shoes. The reporter, on re-
turning to Chicago, looked up the name
In the city directory and found that j.
Douglas lived at 90 Aston street. on
arriving at the Aston street house he
was met by Douglas Charnley. cousin
Of the suicide, who informed him that
j. Douglas was his uncle. but that he
was in Europe and consequently could
have no connection with the Milwau-
kee mystery. During their conversa-
ton, the thought struck Charnley that
his cousin had been wearing pair of
his uncle's shoes and Immediately
light was thrown on the mystery. 1t
appears that young Charnlev the
suicide. had ben out OF work for some
time. but that on Saturday he engaged
with n firm somewhere in Kentucky to
work MS bookkeeper.
