Lient- Morris, Suicide.

Boston, Mass. Sept, 90 A story
has gained currency here that Lieu
tenant John X. Morris, who commit
red suicide on board the Olympia
Monday, died with the secret of the
explosion of the Maine in Havana
harbor locked in his breast.
Lieutenant Morris was attached to
the Maine at that time IA assistant
engineer, and has never been the
same man since this disaster. Heal
ways refused to discuss the story
with his relatives and friends, but he
has been known to state that it was
no torpedo in his estimation that
caused the explosion of the Maine.
I he terrible affair weighed heavily on
him. He grew morosp in his manner
and seldom spoke of the past.
Naturally at this time the greatest
importance is alta he'd to Morris
death, as it is firmly believed that
had the officer told all he knew he
might have explained that terrible
catastrophe. Numerous stories are
in circulation among the jackies
aboard the Olympia, but none Of
Them is accounted important. His
brother officers and friends who knew
him best declare that therp was no
love affair, as has been stated.
