AFTER STANDBY ADAMS.
Requisition on Governor of Louisiana
for Return Of Fulton Bank Clerk.


Sheriff J. e. Moore, Of Fulton, was
in the city yesterday and obtained a
requisltion from Governor Dockery
upon the Governor Of Louisiana for
the return to this State of Standley
Adams, of Fulton. Mr.. Adams is son
of the defaulting cashier Of the Com
mercial Bank of Fulton, which failed
on account Of the absconding of Phil
Adams. Standley Adams was clerk
for his father in the bank and is want
ed for receiving money as assistant
cashier while the bank was In a fail
ing condition.
Standley Adams did not abscond
with any cash, but under the banking
law he is amenable and liable for
punishment. Mr.. Adams has the
reputation Of being an honest young
man, but through the rascality Of his
fathe has gotten into trouble.
He will probably come back from
Shreveport, La, without the use of
the papers, which were obtained here
yesterday. Phil Adams has not been
heard from and it is not known where
| he is located,

IoUNG RICHARD COLE, Still inhis
minority, who killed himself at the
Windsor Hotel Wednesday night,
April End, was insane. 1t has been
stated that he killed himself because
he was "broken and owed money
Another reason was given that he
failed to induce one Of MeSico's most
beautiful girls TO marry him. II these
were true, and there is no foundation,
at least for the latter rumor, there
would not be any excuse for suicide.
A man can never get money or a wife
by killing himself. A young man OF
an old man, or any other person who
kills himself or herself is insane, at
least temporarily. The suicide of this
young man is a very sod affair, and

The train was leaving Lancaster
when a young woman in the rear Of
the car began to cry violently. So
loud were her lamentations that a
young man who sat opposite went
over and tried to comfort her.
"You seem TO be in great grief,
madam, " said he. is there anything
l can do for you?"
"N-no," replied she between her
sobs. "I've just got my husband Gre
mated.n
On hearing this an elderly lady in
the next seat also began to cry vio-
lently.
The young man went from the
young woman to the elderly woman
asked If there was anything that he
could do for her.
She Strengthened out and replied In
a naughty tone;
"No. there is nothing. I'm &C
years old and never had a husband,
Now, please do something for this
poor woman who has them to burn" -

SUICIDE OF RICHARD COLE.
Young Man Places Bullet in His
Heart-Was Dependent Over
Lack of Employment Body
Taken to Breckenridge.

Richard Cole, aged about 20 years,
committed suicide in his room at the
Windsor Hotel by shooting himself
through the heart between and 7
O'Clock "Wednesday night.
The young man formerly clerked at
the Windsor but has been out of work
for some time and this is thought to
be the cause Of his self destruction.
Young Cole had been around town
Wednesday as usual and seemed to be
in the best OF spirits. About supper
time he was at the Windsor Hotel
and Night Clerk Gelvin asked him to
return a revolver which he had bor-
rowed several days before. Cole told
Gelyin that the revolver was in his
room and that he would goafter IL.
Cole did not return with the re-
volyer and Gelyln assembled to his
room TO see what caused the delay.
Entering the room, which was dark,
Gelvin turned ON the lights and dis
covered the llfelesS body Of Cole on
the bed. The body was lying ON its
back, as IL Cole had sat upon the side
Of bis bed, fired a bullet into his heart
and fallen back dead without an in
stant Of struggle.
Young Coles room was on the 3rd
floor aud no one heard the shot which
snuffed out his life.
Coroner Bridgford was notified and
had the body taken TO Lupton's under
taking rooms. In the dead mans
pockets several letters we're found but
none of them threw light on the OBJ
lect Cole had in suiciding.
SUICIDE WAS PREMEDITATED.
At the coroner's inquest this morn
ing it was developed that young Cole
killed himself after meditation. In a
letter which be mad written TO a
friend, but which was not mailed and
was found in his pocket, it was stated
that something was going to happen;
something which would attract more
attention than a recent event in social
circles. AS Cole was going to his
room but few moments before be
destroyed his life he told a young
man, Chester Campbell, goodbye,
saying: "You will never see me
again" A few minutes afterward he
was a corpse.
VERDICT OF SUICIDE.
The coroner's jury, composed OF
Eugene Dyson, w. r. Kemp, N. T.
johnson, r. G. Hagan, v. E. Yates
and T. L. Hill, returned verdict in
conformity with the facts; that the
young man died by his own hand.
BEING IN DEBT WORRIED HIM.
It seems that Cole owed board bill
at the Windsor and at times became
very much downcast. 1t is thought
that this worked on his mind until he
allowed dependency to overcome gooe
sense and tuned him up to take the
step into eternity,
The foolish talk that Cole killed
himself on account Of a girl is without
foundation.
A PREVIOUS ATTEMPT.
During January Of this year Cole wal
found in his room unconscious from
the effect of opiates, afterward founC
to be morphine. 1t took several hour
to relieve him OF danger. Cole stated
that he had taken the morphine as
medicine, but it is thought that b
attempted suicide.
BODY TAKEN TO BRECKENRIDGE.

boy, who was called here as soon a
possible, took the remains to BrecE
