ing Pasadena avenue. was one of those
who discussed the story yesterday. His
14-year old son seemed to be attracted
by the Details and at o'clock, when the
time to stop work came, the boy suggest
ed that he and his father go out and
search for the man. His father, though
| interested in the story, at first demur
red, but the boy insisted that they
| should search. Finally, however, Haig-
| ler called Charles Breedlove, one of his
| employees, and suggested that all three
go together
| Breedlove, it will be remembered, was
the man who first saw the suicide. and
who warned the police, spending all day
Sunday with the officers in fruitless
search for a man he had seen apparent
ly bleeding to death Breedlove con-
sented to Haigler's proposition, and the
two men and the boy went out to the
hills in wagon. Past Sycamore Grove
they went, one and one-half miles north
and about half mile west; then they
could go no farther in the wagon, and
the elder Haigler looked around for
place to tie his horse. AT the bottom Of
a gully he saw clump of bushes larger
than the surrounding thicket, and he
made straight for it, AS they cleared
the last brush and emerged upon the
clearing around the taller trees they
saw on the ground the man all the
searching parties had been looking for.
Cassayre lay on the ground, so weak
that he could hardly move. He was
CHASTITY sight. the blood that had flowed
from his self-inflicted wounds having
dried all over his clothes. He was al
most livid in complexion and but for
his open eyes might easily have been
taken for dead. stubbly growth of
beard and his ragged hair added to his
| wretched appearance. When he saw
the men approaching him he spoke to
them, asking If they had come to arrest
him. Haigler reassured him upon that
point, and told him they would take
him where he could have the proper care.
With difficulty the two men and the boy
hoisted the fainting man into the wagon
and then they slowly drove him to the
receiving hospital, arriving there about
7 o'clock
DR.. Hagan examined the mans
wounds and found them in a frightful
condition. The heat and the insects had
rottel all the. outer tissue in the cuts,
and given them horrid appearance. In
Cassayre's neck were two cuts, one on the
right side about four inches long, and one
on the left about two inches in length
Both were superficial, only the small
veins and arteries being severed. Both
were directly over the jugular VEIN,
showing that the intention of the man
had been all right On each wrist there
was cash directly across the arm, but
as before they were not deep enough
to reach the main arteries The loss of
blood must have been great But the
most remarkable thing is that Cassayre,
having lost all this blood, and being out
in the great heat, had not tasted food or
water since Saturday night. And yet
he does not look like a man who pos
sesses such tremendous vitality as this
would imply.
Dr. Hagan dressed Cassayre's wounds.
and fed him milk at short intervals. The
man rapidly recovered, and when he was
stronger he told of the trouble that led
him to tempt his crime. It appears
that his wife, who at one time was
French actress, was afflicted with a
ioathsoma disease, and ON Saturday af-
ternoon she was sent to the county hos
pital. The neighbors seemed to take
this as personal matter, and at night
thsy assembled before his cottage and
reSlled him and his wife, throwing
stones through the window Dismayed,
the unfortunate Frenchman left his
home and went to the house of his
brother n-law. where he stayed all
night His wrongs so worked on him,
however. that he left the house at 4
