IN DYING CONDITION
WILLIAM W. BRooKs FOUND UNCoN-
scIoUs IN HUMBLE HOME.
Belief Expressed That He Had Taken
Laudanum with Suicidal Intent
His Brother Notified.

William W. Brooks, sixty-five years old,
was found in a dying condition In a little
| shanty just of D. street near the Baltimore
! and Ohio depot about Il O. clock last night.
| He was taken to the Casualty Hospital,
| where the doctors stated that his condition
was apparently due to dose of laudanum.
| Whether the man had taken the drug with
! suicidal intent or whether it was admin
| istered by another person is not known.
1t is stated that he had threatened to end
his life, but there was no bottle found in
| the little shanty which would indicate an
attempt at self-destruction.
There was a small bottle containing a
| lniment made of arnica and laudanum, but
1t was evident that the cork had not been
out OF the bottle for many months. 1t Is
the opinion Of the police that it was a case
of attempted suicide.
Brooks came to this city eighteen years
ago from Memphis, Tenn, for the purpose
OF prosecuting claim against the United
states for the alleged conflscation OF prop
erty In Tennessee during the civil war.
When he came here, it is stated, he had
$5,OO0 In cash. but it is reported that in
stead OF following up the government claim
ne 1ndulged In strong drink and wasted
probably all of his money.
Eight years ago he occupied little shack
on New Jersey avenue opposite the depot,
and when the owner of the property. Mr..
Thomas w. Smith, arranged to replace the
shanty with brick building he had the
shanty moved to lot owned by the rail-
road company.
Kept q Candy Store.
On New Jersey avenue Brooks had kept
candy store, but when he moved to the
lot on D street he opened a harness and
shoe shop. In this little structure he work.
ed, slept and did his own cooking. He was
always ready to do any kind Of work, and
In addition to working in leather he was
employed laying bricks and doing painting.
During recent years he has had many vfs-
ttors. mostly boys and young men, who en-
joyed the warmth of his little house in cold
weather.
A short distance from his shanty was a
grass plot, and the old man frequently
said this spot was his place to enjoy sum-
mer outings. Several times he was notified
by railroad officials that he would have
to move his house. At one time he was
notified that the shanty was to be torn
down, as he was merely squatter and
had no right upon the lot. On this occasion,
1t is stated, he loaded an old musket with
scrap iron and threatened to kill the first
man who touched his humble dwelling.
who loitered about his place he said he had
been a stage driver In the south and told
many stories of exciting incidents in his
life while he was SO employed.
A brother Of the elderly man, Robert E.
Brooks, is said to be chief machinfst at the
Nashville, Tenn. locomotive works, and this
afternoon Captain Boardman notified the
brother Of the case.
The doctors at the Emergency Hospital
said this afternoon that the patient was
