ENDS HER LIFE
WITH A RAZOR
Mrs. John T. Chestnut
Of Pacific Grove a
Suicide.
Fear That She Is Becoming
Insane Leads to the
Sad Tragedy.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

PACIFIC GROVE, Oct. 31.-Mrs. ]. T.
Chestnut, widow of the late John i.
Chestnut, and one of the prominent resi-
dents of Monterey County, committed sui
eide at her home in this city this after
noon while suffering from acute melan-
cholia. She left a letter which bids fare
well to her family and gives as reason
for her suicide that she knew she was
becoming insane and wished to die while
in her right mind. The letter would in
dicate that the writer was suffering from
mental alteration.
Shortly before o'clock Mrs. Chestnut
was found by her son-in-law, 1. K. Mill
ler, lying upon the floor of her room, with
her throat cut. A bloody razor, the in
life, lay beside her. Nothing is known
of the circumstances of her death as she
was alone In the house all afternoon.
Mrs Chestnut has been more or less
affected by melancholia since the death
she had grown so much worse that her
family became alarmed, although trag-
edy such as that of to-day was not ex-
pected. Mrs. Chestnut's daughter was
preparing to take her away for a change
of scene, in the hope of lettering her
mental condition, and 1t is believed the
slight hustle incident to preparation for
the trip was too much for her weak,
nervous condition

YOUTH IN TEENS
THE ROAD AGENT
Puyallup Valley High
wayman in the
Tolls.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

TACOMA, Oct. 31.-Perry Reynolds, an
1S-year-old youth, is believed to be the
boy bandit who has beer terrifying the
Puyallup Valley for several weeks past.
During that time farmers and their fam
lilies have been frequently held UP as they
were driving along lonely country roads.
Last Friday three Tacoma women were
driving in from Sumner, when high
wayman stepped into the road and leveled
a revolver at their carriage. He was sur
prised to find that it was occupied by
ladies and permitted them to pass. On
Thursday John Ucheff was held up on the
Edgewood road, but luckily had no money.
On the same day a boy was halted by a
masked robber in that vicinity. The
masked highwayman held up M. +. Sager
and family on Saturday morning as they
were driving to Tacoma. All the money
and valuables they carried were taken.
Later in the day two men were halted and
relieved Of their cash.
No less than a half dozen other rob-
berries have occurred between Bismarck
and PUyallup. In every instance the
highwayman was masked with a dirty
white Observation-Disclosures such handker-
chief as was found on Perry Reynolds
when he was arrested on Monday even
ing by Detective Moran as he was COM
ing toward the city. A 38-caliber nickel
plated revolver was taken from the young
mans pocket. A similar weapon was
used by the masked man. NJ. Il. Sager
positively identified as his money bag a
pouch taken from Reynolds.
The lad was arraigned this afternoon on
a charge of highway robbery and held for
trial. Numerous witnesses were on hand
ready to swear that the young man is the
one who last week halted them and at
the point of a revolver forced them to
hand over their ready cash and other val
uables. Reynolds maintains his inno-
cence, but offers no explanation of his
possession of numerous articles taken
from persons who were robbed.
