by shooting himself. Dependency
over i'll health is supposed TO be the
cause of the act. He had threatened
TO commit suicide several times before,
and his wife, who gives her name as
Poucher, and whose home is in New
port, had kept his 3s-calibre revolver
concealed in the bottom of the kitchen
stove. In the afternoon POlOughini
found the weapon and, going out Of
the house. seated himself on the piazza
and fired the shot. The bullet entered
the neck directly beneath the throat
and lodged in the base OF the brain,
inflicting a gaping wound. Physicians
were hastily summoned, but, owing to
the nature OF the wound and the mans
physical condition, no effort was made
TO locate the bullet. The physicians
stated that the man could not have
lived many weeks on account OF con-
sumption.
