REVOLVER USED By SUTTON
WAS PURCHASED SHORTLY BE-
FORE THE SUICIDE In THE ST.
PAUL HARDWARE STORE
Man Attracted Attention by the Nell
anehOfy Way In Which He Acted
Remarked That One Revolver
Would Do as Well as Another.

Developments yesterday In the suicide
Of j. e. Sutton, the editor and owner
of the Daily Reporter. Of Logansport.
Ind. who shot himself on the third floor
Of the block at S. East Seventh street
Saturday, established the fact that Mr..
Sutton purchased the revolver with
which he took his life at the st. Paul
Hardware cDmpany's store, within q few
doors of where he committed the tragic
act Such a revolver as was found in
the dead mans hand was sold, together
with q box sef cartridges, by Victor Wei
loft, a clerk for the hardware company,
to stranger accurately answering Mr..
Sutton's description, short time before
Mr.. Sutton Is known to have entered the
block. The clerk recalls the sale OF the
chaser, who he describes thoroughly, and
In almost every detail the purchaser tai
lies with the description of Mr.. Sutton.
The revolver was sold shortly after o
o'clock. Within twenty minutes Mr.. SUIT
ton, sitting din chair at the head of the
stairs In the block a short distance
from the store, fired bullet through his
brain. The pistol sold was Japanned
barreled, thirty-eig.ht caliber. liver john
son make. Exactly such a revolver was
clutched In the suicides hand. Young
Weiloff says the man to whom he sold
the revolver purchased a box OF cart
ridges A new box Of cartridges, with
only enough shells taken out to load the
revolver, were found in Mr.. Sutton's
pocket The amount Of money found on
Mr.. Sutton also corroborates the pur-
chase of the pistol at the st. Paul Hard
cornpany's store. yWeilof says the custo-
mer paid for the pistol with a $50 bill. The
revolver was S. and the cartridges 90
cents The clerk gave him back two
S. bills and $450 in silver. Mr.. Sutton
had SIG in his possession, part of which
was two So bills.
The clerk says the stranger who bought
a revolver attracted particular notice, be-
cause he talked in low tone of voice
and seemed melancholy about some
thing. He asked to be shown some pis-
tolls and examined only one. before
choosing the one bought, remarking,as II
to himself that one revolver would PROB
ably do as well as another. The stran-
ger was unaccompanfed by anyone. 1t Is
probable that Mr.. Sutton went direct
from the hardware store to the block,
whore he loaded the revolver and fired
the fatal shot.
Nothing can be learned as to how long
Mr.. Sutton was In this city, and there
Is no additional light on the motive for
the suicide. Coroner Nelson yesterday
sent the personal effects of the dead man
to A. J. Sutton, of Logansport A. J.
Sutton Is the father of the deceased He
requested Coroner Nelson. in a. brief tel
egram, to forward the sons property,
giving no additional information as to
the probable cause of his sons act. Mrs.
Sutton has not been located In this city
and is believed. to have remained at
Portland, Or, when her husband started
back to Logansport.

Judge Brill 0verrules Its Demurrer
in Fred w. Hill's Suit.
Judge Brill yesterday filed am order In
district court overruling the demurrer to
the complaint in the case Of Frederick W.
Hill against the city ct al. The plaintiff
sues to recover damages for the removal
of a revolving electric sign which he had
erected at Tenth and Wabasha streets
with the permission Of the council and
which the city engineer afterwards re-
moved under direction of the council. In
his memorandum the court says:
1t does not appear at this time that
there was any ordinance requiring per-
mission of the city council to erect the
sign, and / have not been referred to any
statutory requirement of that nature and
I cannot find any. 1t must be taken that
no such requirement existed and hence
the permission. and reservation of tha
right to order the sign removed, were
without any force. There might be cir
cumstances under which the city would
have the right to remove the sign, but
they do not appear. The act complained
Of, so far as 1t appears from the COM
plant, constituted trespass. 1t was
done Intentionally, and it Is alleged that
1t was done wrongfuliy. The questions
raised are not free from doubt. but l am
of opinion that q cause of action is stated
against each of defendants.

IN his curriculum metaphysics had no
place. 1t had been the duty of Amos 10
preach, at Bethel, against the deepest
wickedness and RIGHTEOUSNESS witnessed

and his denunciation of crime in tho

for new, jail unless it is absolutely ~
course. If we must have a new jail right
away, that Is all there is of it, and we
shall have no other recourse than to issue
the necessary bonds, However. we shall
investigate thoroughly before taking any
