gaging stranger who fell into conversation
with them and helped them to sell the pro-
duce. In a short time the three acted like
lifelong friends, and visited several saloons
together.
The stranger took a seat in Taylor's
wagon when the journey homeward was
begun, but left it when Taylor and Bent
went inside store to make some pur-
chases Taylor discovered about the same
time that his silver watch was missing.
His money was not touched however.
Taylor and Brent went to Anacostia, where
the case was reported to the police. The
two men were in no condition to manage
team, and were detained at the police sta

o'clock yesterday afternoon near Dupont
Circle by Policy Detective Watson and
Precinct Detective Lynch and escorted 10

ferred against him. Friends secured his
release on $500 bonds during the night and

SHOT THROUGH HEAD
VETERAN OFF THE SOLDIERS

No Explanation 4nGiven Of the Rash
Acknowledgements for
IntRmunt.

owen Flood, an elderly inmate OF Sol
diers' Home, commistedb suicide this morn
ing IN Seaton Park near 9th street ana
Maine avenue southwest, by shooting him.
SELF through the head. Death ensued in
lew minutes, and before a physician couid
be summoned. What caused the veteran to
take his life nobody will probably ever be
able to tell. for he left no written eXp1ana-
tion OF his act, so far as the police were
able to ascertain today
A few minutes before $40 O'Clock Flood
was seen to enter the park and occupy one
OF the benches beneath big tree. Park
Waterman DAVIS passed him, and the neat
appearance of Flood attracted his attention
Nothing was said by the Waterman or the
occupant OF the bench, and the former con-
tlnued through the park on his regular tour
OF outy, not suspecting for a moment that
the OLD man contemplated suicide. Bicycle
Policeman Ben Williams rode up AZ street
a rev minutes later and dismounted near
the main entrance to the park, about three
hundred feet from where Flood was sitting.
He had been standing there only a short
time before he heard the report of pistol
He hurried to the wounded man, and upon
seeing the bullet had taken effect he rode
to the patrol box and summoned the am
bulance.
Seven minutes after the shot was fired the
Emergency Hospital ambulance, with DR..
Sluai III CidTSe, entered the park. ne 5
dead, the doctor remarked as soon as he
looked at the form of the former soldier,
and there's nothing that can be done for
him."
Body Removed to Morgue.
The ambulance was driven back to the
hospital and few minutes later the dead
wagon arrived. Superintendent Schoen-
berger of the morgue took charge of the
body and removed it to the morgue. Before
this was done Sergt. Montgomery Of the
fourth precinct searched the clothing of the
dead man, hoping to find something which
would identify him. He found his name
and the number COL stamped on his I'M
derclothing and a laundry ticket that had
been issued by a Brightwood avenue China
man. This satisfied the police officer that
the man had been an inmate of Soldiers
Home.
The deceased was sixty-four years old
and had been an inmate of the home for a
number of years. He left there yesterday
after being granted leave. So far as his
friends know, he intended to remain about
the city, as he had saved some money. At
ter leaving the home he purchased new
suit of clothes, new shoes and the revolver,
a 32-caliber young America" with which
he killed himself.
Flood was a native of Ireland, and while
in the army most of his time was spent In
Texas and Dakota.
Acting Coroner Glazebrook gave certif1-
cate of death from a sef-inflicted wound.
where it will be inferred tomorrow. 1t was
believed that the bullet had been fired
through his cheek until the blood was
washed from his face, when 1t was found
the muzzle Of the weapon was held in his
mouth

Emergency Hospital about o'clock last
night suffering from carbolic acid poison
ing. She was unconscious when found in
her room by the hot,l Waterman. and on-y
the prompt action of the Waterman and
hospital surgeons saved her life.
The girl was employed in the hotel as a
charwoman. and was in the room occupied
by the servants when found by the watch
man. Shortly after the hospital was
reached the girl was restored to conscious
ness. She would have but little to say con-
corning what she had done. and seemed un-
able to give an explanation of her conduct
