Apparent Wish Of st. Louis County
Suicide Seems Certain of
Fuliillment.
NOT ONE GOOD CLEW FOUND.
Manner of Death Decidedly Out of
Ordinary-B0dy to BE Buried
To-Day at Public Ex-
pense.

| Mystery stili surrounds the suicide which
| took place last Thursday at the junction OF
| the st. Charles Rock and the EimoHsOL
| roads. St Louis County. All efforts 10 ideH-
| fifty the body have failed and il vii. be in
| TERED to-day at the expense Of the count; y
The circumstances surrounding this suicide
! are unusual in the extreme. In the first
! place the man met death. not shut up in a
| room or hidden In a soquestered and shaded
nook, as is usually chosen by those who
take their lives out Of doors. but in Il corn
! field and near a public highway. Then. none
OF the mans clothes were marked. even with
initials; he bore no letters nor cards; and
the only clews giving any address We're a
pocket mirror and 1 prescription. Both these
were stamped Chicago" and on the latter
WAS printed Doctor T. \. Noble, 1910 Col
umbiI avenue"
Neither Of these addresses developed any
thing. The mirror proved to tie but an ad-
vertiscnent given away by firm of retail
hatters and clothiors in State street, Chi
cago. and Doctor Noble said that he could
remember no such man as the St Louis
County suicide was described to be.
The body was first found by August Klcss
in his cornfei,l. He heard somebody croan-
lag ami went 10 500 what t!-t 'FDAF!t HSN
The strange man was then 1T the point OF
death. and he spoke no word before disso-

held. Death was pronounced due to carho!ic
acid poisoning. the body was then moved
10 the undertaking rooms OF Parke Bros, In
Webster Groves. and has since rested there
awaiting identification.
TIE clothes Of the man and his general
appearance led to tho belief that he was -
minister. From descriptions in the papers
Doctor Norel II the City Dispensary thought
that the corpse was that OF Edward Martin,
whom he sent from the Dispensary to tho
City Hospital on April ?. But this Martin IS
involved in as much mystery as 20 his home
au; business rs Is tho suicide. II was sup
posed he came from the Globe Hotel, Ma. III
North Sixth street. but here he was simply
registered as Martin and was not remem-

said to have had a large mole and wart on

not noticeable on the suicide. He was also
said To be feet inches tail. whereas the
suicide was : feet 10 inches in height. Every
thing seemed to indicate that the unknown
man in committing suicide tried his best 10
