Ernest e. Moses. in Attorney A. c.
Hartrdges Office in Jacksonville Monday
afternoon, put 32-calibre bullet into his
breast INJECTING a very serious wound.
Moses went there a few days ago 10 man
age Ryder's Roof Garden. Monday he
called on Jere Smith and told him that
Ryder had skipped out and left him
stranded. He seemed very despondent,
and later went to Hartrdges office where
he attempted to end his life. Another cause
assigned for the rash act was the disap-
pearance of Moses wife, Bertha Wilson,
whom he married in Atlanta several
weeks ago and to whom he seemed much
attached. The girl was evidently known
by several names, and that Moses was de-
sirous of reaching her was evidenced by
the number of letters addressed by sew
eral titles TO her. 1t is thought Moses will
recover.
