c. A. Pitcher. a mining man. was found
stretched on the floor OF hts room at the
Perrin hotel. dead, yesterday morning at
1879 o'clock. Near him was enough cy-
anide of potassium to kill a regiment, and
from this circumstance Coroner Sparling
surmises that is is a case OF suicide.
To settle the mystery he win hold an au-
topsy and inquest this afternoon at Bon
ney & Stewards morgue.
Pitcher had a sweetheart, who Is sup
posed to be Anne King, of San Francisco.
Whether 1t was owing TO trouble In love
affairs or dependency over financial mat
tiers that caused him to take his own life,
has not been settled. Among his effects
was found the following:
You kissed me Ny soul
Reeled like a drunken man
Foolish with wine.
And | thought twcre delicious
To die then II death would but come
While my lips were yet moist with your breath.
III I might grow old
While your arms clasped round
In their passionate fold,
And these were the questions
! asked day and night;
Must my soul take no more
That exquisite delight"
Most Of the letters found by Deputy Cor
oner Powers were written by Your low
ing sweetheart Anne" They contained
little that threw light on the case, with
lit e&ceptiuh tnht one contained the Iol-
lowing:
II am sorry you were disappointed about
Dan Burns. but do not do anything you
would be sorry for. / mean about the Ex-
aminer.''
The cyanide OF potassium was wrapped
In a San Francisco Examiner OF April r.
1900. but there was not a line in II which
could in any degree DO connected with
the case.
From addresses on the letters II was
thought Pitcher came from Daulton. Cal,
but as a matter OF fact there is said to be
no such place in that state.
References made by Anne" to copper
mining claims turning out well leave no
doubt but that Pitcher was a mining man.
and II Is presumed that he came to Sc
attic with the intention OF going TO Nome
He registered at the Perrin hotel last Fri
day. He drank considerably and on one
or two occasions complained about being
In financial difficulties. The fact that
he had only 80 cents left when he died IL
looked upon as indicative of dependency
over money matters.
Yesterday morning Pitcher said he would
not have any use for his room In the flu
ture. Two hours later the chambermaid
walked In and came upon his body stretch
cd out at full length on the floor He lay
face down. and his forehead was bruised
proving that he had fallen suddenly. He
was partially dressed.
Deputy Coroner Powers investigated the
case. He discovered a large quantity OF
the poison wrapped first In white paper
with the skull and cross bones. and again
in San Francisco paper. The body was
removed to Bonney 4 Stewards morgue.
Later in the day Coroner Sparkling decided
that he would hold an autopsy and inquest
this afternoon at the morgue.
