FLED FROM REVHRSBS.
Henry jacobsen Rises at Mid
night and Inhales Gas
Saved the Family Pet.

Henry Jacobson, fifty-two years old, of
well known hour and feed merchant of
Hoboken, committed suicide early this
mornin at his home, No. 1913 Seventh
street, by inhaling illuminating gas.
jacobson has been a resident OF Hobo
ken for thirty years. At one time he was
in partnership in the flour and feed bust
ness with ex-Mayor Herman L. Thinker
and upon the latter's death some years
ago he assumed entire control of the
FIRMS affairs. His place of business was
formerly located at No. Al Newark street,
but was removed several weeks ago to
No. 2 River street. Notwithstanding close
atention to business Jacobson became
deeply involved. He worried greatly over
his trouble and frequently remarked to
his wife that he was tired of life.
At six o'clock this morning. When Mrs.
Jacobson went down stairs to the kitchen
she was startled to find her husband ly-
ing on the floor near the stove. She at
first thought hat he had got out of bed
during the night and had stumbled and
fallen. A strong odor of gas. however,
flied the the room, and upon Investigate
ing she discovered that her husband held
in his mouth a tube, one end of which
was ttached to the gas jet.
Mrs. jacobson hurriedly sent her daugh-
ter to summon DR.. Helfer. But Jacob
son had been dead several hours. A num-
Der of chairs in the room had been
knocked over by the suicide in his strug-
giles before death. A little black dog,
which was the pet of the family, was
found locked in a pantry adjoining the
kitchen. 1t is believed that Jacobson
put the dog in the closet in order to pre-
vent 1t from being nv the as
Gaping gas.
Mrs. jacobson says she thinks her hus-
band left his bed some time after mid
night, as she is positive that he was
there at hat hour. He leaves three
daughters. n of whom is married. In a
pocket of his coat were found a number
of notes which he had issued and also a
batch of bills which he was apparently
unable to collect.
