ADJJDGED A SUICIDE.
BODY of Census CIerI. White to Be
Shippeu to UuffuIp

At the request of the friends Of Daniel
J. White, the Census Once employe who
committed suicide in d saloon on C
Street Christmas night. the Acting
Deputy Coroner yesterday performed an
autopsy upon the body at Riley's under
taking establishment on Second Street.
Whites stomach was found to have
been badly burned by the carbolic acid.
ard no doubt remained as to the cause
of death. The absence of any definite
reason for the deceased having taken his
life caused his friends to question the
action Of the Coroner in giving a certif-
cate Of suicide. The result OF the au-
topsy justified that course.
The body was taken charge OF by
friends and shipped to Buffalo, where
his parents reside. and where the inter-
ment will take place.
