TOOK HIS LIFE.
Suicide Of James La France, 9
We1l-Known Painter.

James j. La France, the we'll known
house painter, who lived at 81 Twen-
tieth street, committed suicide early
yesterday morning by swallowing a
quantity of morphine.
On, Friday evening Charles La
France, a brother ofAthe unfortunate
man, visited police headquarters and
made a request that his brother James
be taken in for safe keeping, for the
reason that he had threatened to COM
nit suicide and that there was good
reason to believe he intended to carry
out his threat.
officer Bagley was accordingly detail
ed on the case, and James J. La France
was locked up. He was placed in the
women's cell, it having no occupants,
where he was searched by Sergeant Nc
Manus. Nothing was found on his
person, and he scoffed at the idea that
he contemplated committing suicide. He
strenuously objected to being locked up,
but was finally pacified and induced to
go to bed.
Sergeant McManus visited the cell a
number of times during the evening
and when he left for home at 10 o'clock
La France seemed to be all right
Yesterday morning when La France
breakfast was taken upstairs he was
found lying on his cot, face downward
and dead. He was still warm, and it is
believed he did not take the fatal dose
of poison until toward morning.
On a table in the cell was found a
small box labeled morphine" and
there seems to be no doubt that he took
the contents of the box and then lay
down for his final sleep.
James La France was about AZ years
old and had lived in this city most of
his life. He was quiet and industrious,
and owned considerable property, some
of which had been left him by his
mother. 1t is understood that for some
time before his death he had been
drinking and that the moroseness
which induced him to take his life re-
suited from that cause The Coroner
took charge of the remains.
Coroner McMullen last night held an
inquest on the remains, the jury bring
ing in a verdict that death resulted
from an overdose of morphine. self
administered.

asked by the other side to submit i
technical objection, but had refused. AS
ali were exhausted with the trial he
would be willing to dismiss the case.
The court said this case was differ
ent from the other, as he understood
it was charged that Jones had offered
$1,000 to the witness if he would leave
the State. 1t was an entirely different
case. However, as counsel wished it.,
he was willing to dismiss the case and
would order the Clerk to make an entry
that it Was. dismissed by consent Of
counsel.
Mr. Seymour asked the court to order
the expenses of the witnesses that had
been srlbpenaed to be paid out of the
County Treasury.
Mr.. Fulweiler said the witnesses for
the defense We're equally entitled to
their expenses. 1t was only a question
of criminal or quasi criminal proceed
inc.
The court then allowed twenty-three
witnesses for the defense and four for
the plaintiff their expenses and the
incident was closed.
