SUICIDE WAS HIS STUDY.

Pittsburg, Pa, Nov. 26-For years
William Velter has made study of
suicide. Self-destruction was a hobby
with him. He experimental with
death and toyed with it as child would
a new plaything. His relatives, there
fore, were not greatly surprised when
they went to the morgue and saw his
body lying on a slab. 1t was that of
the man whom q party of hunters had
found in ST. Mary's cemetery. The
hunters were led to the grave over
which the remains lay by their intelli-
gent dog.
The story of Velter is remarkable
one. This student of self-destruction
was a cripple. He did not think this
world was a place for cripples. He
came to this conclusion years ago,
when he determined upon ending his
life. He even went further, and eX-
perimented with DEATH
First he tried to hang himself. This
manner of death was not to Velters
liking. He said so after he had been
cut down by a member of the family.
The next time 1 try it, l will adopt
an easier and less painful way" he
said, after he had recovered his breath
1t was not great while before he car
ried this threat into execution. He

JEALOUSY THE CAUSE.

Grafton, Nov 26.-As a result of fam
lily jealousy, John Forrest, a resident
of Worcester street, was severely
bruised and battered this morning by
the combined forces Of his wife and
Neil Clauson, welI-known cattle deal
er. Clauson is now under arrest and
win answer to the charge of assault
with intent to kill, at the local district
court before Judge Nourse Tuesday
morning.
It appears that in times past Clauson
was a boarder at Forests home, and
by his goodwill and perseverance in well
doing, he attained the friendship of
Mrs Forrest. When he left his board
ing place on demand of Mr.. Forrest,
the latter's wife occasionally carried
him some of the delicacies of the ta
BILE
This morning Mrs. Forrest started on
similar errand, and as she passed
the causeway from her home to Clau-
sons, she was approached from the
rear by her husband. who, grabbing her
around the waist, proceeded to deliver
an uoDercut'
This treatment she resented, and
breaking from his grasp, picked a stone
from the road and threw it, taking him
At this time Clauson appeared on the
scene with a four-foot stick of inch
wood. Immediately proceeding to beat
Forrest numerically about the head
and shoulders. Forests right arm is
now practically useless, and severe cuts
were inflicted about his head. A large
cut on the forehead and one in the
back of the head about three inches
long, were the most serious. He bled
profusely and for the time was rem
dered unconscious. After few mo-
ments he was helped to his house, but
short distance away, by Patrick Hou-
Than, a minor, Is years of age, and the
only eye witness of the scene.
Young Houlihan narrated the above
facts to The Spy representative this
afternoon, and with boyish thoughtless-
ness. expressed himself joyous at the
thought of his coming witness fees. DR..
Maxwell vouched for the injuries.
Immediately after the fray, Clauson
went the house of Constable James
Carney, and gave himself up. He
wanted to pay his fine Immediately,
but the officer saw it otherwise. Mrs.
Forests story is practically the same
as above, but she says: "She only threw
at her husband a small cobblestone, -
and also claims she was taking the food
to her son Columbus, who, being afraid
of his father was afraid to sleep at
home
The affair will be brought up in the
local district court here Tuesday morn
ing, when Clauson will appear on a
charge of assault with intent to kill,
and Mrs. Forrest will be charged with
assault and battery. Mr.. and Mrs.
Forrest have a family of four daugh-
tiers and four sons. Both have been
arrayed against each other in court be-
fore.

tried to kill himself by shooting. He
was not successful and expressed his
contempt for the revolver route in no
uncertain tones. He became a great
reader of suicide literature Papers
containing accounts of murders and
suicides received a great deal of at
tention from him. He commented upon
the manner in which people made
away with themselves A few weeks
ago when a man attempted suicide by
jumping from a bridge into the Allie
gheny river, Velter commented upon
the attempt very unfavorably. He
said the man was a fool.
1t was then that he showed that he
had decided positively upon the man
ner Of his death. He confided this
tragic news to his son-in-law, Adam
Nauman, and his daughter. There
is only one satisfactory way to kill
yourself" he said to them; cit is to
cut an artery and slowly bleed to death.
Some day 1 will do that. 1t is just
like sinking into a peaceful sleep"
On Nov. s. Velter left the home of
his SON law, which is on the Spring
Garden road, in Reserve township He
said that he was going out for a short
time and might never return. This was
last seen of Velter until his body was
found in St Mary's cemetery, Satur-
day, by a party of hunters. There he
had severed an artery in his arm and
bled to death.
