CLEAR CASE OF SUICIDE
Investigation Into the Death of
Jesse j. Lang.
A FIT OF ~DESPONDENCY
No New Details Were Brought Out by
b Coroner's Inquest-The Wit
nesses Knew Very Little
About the Man.

Justice of the Peace Laurandeau
acting for Coroner Tremblay. held an
inquest last evening at Richards un-
dertaking rooms TO investigate the
death of Jesse j. Lang. the returned
Klondiker who committed suicide in
the Exchange lodging house by shoot
sng himself through the head some
slime between Friday and Saturday
nights of last week, while. as supposed,
in a ft of dependency over the failure
of his trip to the gold country. Little
or nothing was brought out about the
circumstances of the suicide beyond
those surrounding the finding of the
body, but those appeared to indicate
a clear case of suicide. and the jury re-
turned a verdict to the effect that the
deceased came to his death by shooting
himself in the head with intent TO COM
init suicide.
Mrs. Annie Warwick. the h-ousekeeper
at the Exchange lodging house. at Il
South Main street, was the first wit
ness. She said she knew nothing
about the deceased except that he
IROintu at tue ubuSt dpbul a WEEK anu
was wont TO get up about . o'clock in
the morning. She was accustomed to
make up his room at that time. Friday
at the usual time she found the room
locked, but supposing Lang was asleep
or had given up the room and that
someone else was sleeping there, paid
no attention. subsequently she visited
room IL and found the door still locked.
The third visit was late Saturday
evening. and knowing then there must
be something the matter called to the
inmate and asked If he was sick. Re
ceiving no reply, she went down to the
saloon and notified the bartender.
Herman Prouele, bartender at the
Exchange saloon. said that when noti-
fed by the h-ousekeeper he went to the
room and looked over the transom and
saw Lang lying on the bed. He at
once had an officer notified. The wit
ness slept just across the hall from
Lang's room but heard no shot.
Policeman NJ. r. Torpey responded
to a call from Prouele. and when he
reached the room the coroner was
there. Lang lay OF the bed with a bull
let hole in his head on the right side.
Witness took charge Of the gun and
found one shot had been fired from II.
Sergeant of Police James Leyden tes-
rified TO opening the door of Lang's
room when notified a dead man had
been found at the Exchange lodging
house. Witness said Lang was lying
on the bed with his underciothes on.
There was a bullet hole in his head
and a gun lay by his side clinched I'm
his right hand. Witness was satisfied
the deceased took his own life. The
deceased had evidently been dead some
hours.
The jury was satisfied IL was a case
of suicide and rendered it's verdict ac-
cordingly.
So far as known. no attempt has been
made to locate Lang's relatives or
friends and communicate with them,
but II there has no word has come from
them. The remains have been buried.
