date for Supreme Justice.

time between Thursday midnight and Fri
day noon. He had disrobed and reclined
upon his bed. placed the barrel of a
32-calibre revolver in his mouth and
sent bullet crashing upwards through
his brain. That death was instantaneous

body, with the weapon of death still in his
mouth. A sealed letter addressed to his
wife at Pomeroy was found in the room,
and it was forwarded to her by registered
mail by Coroner Schwab later in the day
For some time the judge has been in i'll
health, and this, In connection with some
recent investment reverses, is thought to
have prompted the deed.
Judge Russell was one of the most prom
inent jurists in the State, and has served
as judge of the Fourth judicial district of
Ohio for the past six years. During the
recent Republican state convention at CO.
lumbus he was a candidate for Supreme

ton of Ohio. He was vice president of
the Pomeroy National Bank. and interested

a gold mine i'm Colorado. failed to mater

nent attorneys in Pomeroy.
