| NJ. smith, living at 1854 East Seventh
street. shortly before o'clock last
evening, swallowed an ounce of car
bolic acid and died within O. few min
utes. The suicide was a bartender and
| came to St Paul from Des Moines. To-.
something over two years ago. He was
IN the employ of John c. Smith up to
the time the latter was burned out in
inc ochutte block fire a year ago and
since then has had no regular en-
pioyment. This fact, together with
recent domestic. infelicity is assigned as
reason for Smith killing himself
Smith had threatened on previous &C.
casions. his wife says. to kill himself
and the carrying out of his threat last
evening is believed to have been the re-
suit Of determined purpose to end his
lie. After the evening meal Mrs.
Smith says she and her husband had a
quarrel. a week ago she says Smith
struck her and the couple had not since
been on friendly terms. The trouble
last night, Mrs. Smith says, grew out
OF d reference to the former difficulty.
Durlng the progress of the quarrel she
says Smith suddenly left the kitchen
ana went into an adjoining bedroom.
a moment later he came back with a
bottle in his hand and declared he in
tended swallowing the contents. Mrs.
smith says she refused to look at the
p"ttle when Smith held it up before
her. not thinking that her husband
was really desperate. Then she saws
MISS Mamie Lewis. a visitor at the
house, called to her that Smith had
swallowed the contents of the bottle
Smith dashed the bottle to the floor and
returned to the bedroom, where he
carefully spread a comforter over the
outer edge Of the bed and laid down
He got up shortly afterward and stag
gefed about the room, and Miss Lewis
becoming alarmed, ran for a physician
MRS. Smith says she finally got her
husband back on the bed, but that he
gradually grew worse
When Miss Lewis ran out of the room
oIilith called TO her not to get a doctor,
she says, saying he would be all right
IN few minutes. The bartender from
the saloon, over which the Smith fam
Ivy lives, learned of Smiths condition
and went up stairs. To him Smith de.
med taking poison, the man saws. and
seemed d1sinclined to take any Of the
simple entities which had been hur-
riedly prepared. Both Mrs. Smith and
the bartender say that Smith under
went no apparent suffering. Miss
Lewis had some difficulty in finding a
physician and when she returned in
about twenty minutes with Dr. Miller.
Smith was dead
Mrs. Smith says the acid her husband
took was some he purchased himself
several weeks ago and that the bottle
was labeled poison" She thinks that
Smith knew he was taking poison and
fully intended to end his life. The
dead man was forty-one years of age,
Coroner Nelson viewed the body and
declded an inquest unnecessary.
