Fired One Shot.

Fired One Shot.
AS Mr.. Grissom turned he heard a
pistol shot, and before he could clothe
himself sufficiently to go out on the
perch he heard neighbor say:
THE old man has shot himself"
Mr.. T. Oliver and others rushed to the
porch and the physician was carried
into the house. Drs. L. D. Walter and
Story were summoned and efforts at re-
suscitation made.
The wagon of No. 8 precinct carried
the unconscious man TO the hospital,
where an operation was performed in
the hope of trepaning the SKULL. The
brain had been pierced. however. and
death from cerebral hemorrhage ensued.
Allison Leapiey. small boy residing
on G Street, witnessed the shooting. He
was in front of the house and saw the
old gentleman deliberately raise the
weapon and fire. Shortly before the
shooting Mr.. Oliver had seen DR.. Girls
house handling some object, and he is
satisfied from the motions viewed in
the light of the tragedy that the doc
tor was loading the pistol.
On the lot a note book containing the
addresses of DR.. Grissom's children
all the leaves torn. The fragments were
but little scattered, showing that the
book was torn about the time the pistol
was loaded. No statement or letter in
regard to an intention to destroy life
was found. He had evidently left the
house hurriedly, for he was not fully
dressed
Purchase of Pistol Unknown.
The members of the family are. anx-
ious to find out where the pistol was Sc
cured They are sure he obtained the
weapon yesterday morning. The Ninth
precinct men are looking for the person
who sold or loaned the gun. The weapon
is practically a new one.
DR.. Grissom made an attempt to kill
himself a few years ago. He took
chloroform on the street in Denver,
Col. and was for while in a serious
condition. He was taken into custody
and sent to the Colorado Insane Asylum
at Pueblo, where he remained for about
five years. He came to this city about
a year ago. and since then has re-
peatedly said he would do away with
himself. Lately the son had asked the
druggists to refuse to sell him NOR
phine and other such drugs, and the old
gentleman had difficulty in obtaining his
supply.
Dr. Grissom was born on farm in
Granville count. y, C. He was gradu
ated from the medical department of the
University of Maryland.
DR.. Grissom was an eminent authority
on nervous and mental diseases, lead
ing member of the American Medical
Society, a lecturer and writer on the
subject of insanity. and for many years
superintendent of an insane asylum.
He was the central figure in a sensa
tional trial in North Carolina. one of
the most noted trials in the history of
the State. The physician was arraigned
before q commission for alleged mis-
takes In administration and methods Of
treatment, and after lengthy contest
was acquitted. He resigned his position
and went West.
