SUICIDE BY HANGlN G
THE RASH ACT OF HENRY r.
HAINES.
News of a Friends Death Made Him
Despondent-COroner hewitt
Gives Certificate.

Henry r. Haines, a native of England,
committed suicide late yesterday after
noon at his home, No. 1419 G street north
east. by hanging himself. When cut down
life was not extinct, but the unfortunate
man expired in a few minutes, despite ef-
forts at resusctation. Not long ago Mr..
Haines purchased the house in which the
deed was committed and lived there with
his wife. He had not become acquainted
with many of his neighbors and the latter
knew but little about him.
A short time ago Mr.. Haines received a
letter informing him of the death of an In
innate friend in England, and he was vis-
IDLY affected. The death of the friend
preyed upon his mind, and this fact. it is
believed, caused him to end his life. Mrs.
Haines left the house yesterday afternoon
to do some shopping Her husband was
then in bed. 1t was about 4:30 o'clock
when she returned home. She went direct
ly to the bed room to see her husband, but
found the bed without an occupant al
though her husbands shoes and socks and
other articles of wearing apparel were scat
tered about the room.
From the sleeping apartment the wife
went successfully to each of the other
rooms, and when she had explored all on
the lower floor she concluded that her hus-
band had donned other clothing and gone
out. Just as she was about to give up the
lnVeStlgatlOn Sne noticed the door ledQlflA
to the cellar was open. She had gone only
two or three steps from the landing toward
the cellar floor. when the shocking sight
of her husband dangling at the end of
rope was disclosed.
Mrs. Haines turned and ran in the direc-
ton of the front door, calling for assist
ance, but before she was able to get out
of the house she fell. A neighbor who
heard her screams summoned other neigh
bors and the front door was forced open.
Mrs. Haines said to those who went to
her assistance, He is killing himself DR..
L. D. Walters was called to attend the
woman, and while he was thus engaged
William s. Stults, jr, who went on tour
of investigation, found the dying man In
the cellar. The rope was cut and he was
taken to the upper floor where DR.. Walter
strove to save him. He was unsuccessful,
however and as soon as life was pro-
nounced to be extinct Coroner hewitt was
summoned to the house. He heard the
statements and gave a certificate of death.
The deceased was f1fty-one years old. He
was married sixteen years ago. The couple
had no children Mr.. Haines and his wife
moved here from near Quantico, Va. No
relatives of the husband live in this coun-
try. The wife's relatives live in Nebraska.

WRIT DENIED.
Chief Justice Bingham Remands Petit
tiOner to Work house.

Chief Justice Bingham Remands Petit
tiOner to rkhouse.
Chief Justice Bingham of the Supreme
] Court Of the District delivered his opinion
this morning in the matter of the petition
of Michael Curtis for habeas corpus. The
petition was filed several days ago, and
on yesterday the case was argued and SUBJ
mitted to the court by Attorney John M.
Lawton, who represented Curtis, and A.
Leftwieh Sinclair, assistant attorney of the
District Of Columbia, who appeared for
Mr.. Stoutenburgh, the intendant OF the
District workhouse.
At the hearing yesterday it was devel-
oped that the petitioner was arraigned in
the Police Court, September 10 last. on an
information charging him with being a va
grant; that he was not assigned counsel
to defend him and that he was not given a
jury trial. 1t was claimed that this was a
denial of his rights under the Constitution
that he was tried by the Judge, was ad-
judged guilty and fined $40, and that In de-
fault OF the payment of the fine he was
committed to the workhouse for the term
Of 120 days. Counsel for Curtis claimed
that this sentence was cruel, unusual and
excessive.
Chief Justice Bingham, in rendering his
opinion, stated that no question was raised
corpus; that the fine imposed was clearly
authorized by statute and the imprison-
ment of the petitioner for I20 days in the
workhouse in default of the payment of
the fine was also clearly authorized. Re-
ferrfng to the claim of the petitioner that
the sentence was cruel, unusual and ex-
cessive, the court stated that the judge of
the Police Court was at liberty to commit
to the workhouse for as long a time as six
months, and that his action cannot be re-
viewed by the court on habeas corpus.
Chief Justice Bingham further stated that
1t is very well settled In this Jurisdiction
that in case of vagrancy the accused is
not by virtue of the Constitution of the
United States, entitled to trial by jury
The court stated in conclusion that a
person charged in the Police Court undoubt-
edly has the right to have counsel, but
stated that it did not appear from the
record that the petitioner was refused this
right, or that he even desired counsel. THE
court has no right to force counsel upon a
man charged with minor offense," re-
marked the chief justice.
An order was passed denying the writ of
fabeas corpus and remanding the prisoner
to the workhouse
Counsel for the petitioner noted an ap-
peal to the Court Of Appeals.
