FIRED A BALL
IN HIS BRAIN
]. C, BENNETT PUT HIS COAT
UNDER HIS HEAD AND CON-
MITTED SUICIDE AT
GRANT PARK.

The body OF a man, identified by papers
on hts person as ]. c. Bennett, was round
in Grant park Monday morning about 10
o'clock, a bullet through his brain. A %
calibre Smith & Wesson revolver lay by
his side. He had shot himself in the right
temple, the bullet lodging under the skin
Of the left temple. Death was instan-
taneous.
The body was found lying on the grass
at the edge OF a great bank Of Gala lilies,
near the Bethesda Spring at the Park
avenue entrance. VIII Gatins, an en-
ploye of the waterworks deparement, went
to the spring for drink, and passed Ben
nett, who was lying on the grass. He
noticed blood all over the mans face,
and Immediately sought an officer. To-
gether they went to the body of Bennett,
which was still quite warm. He was dead.
II appeared that Bennett had been lying
on his left side, and had raised his BODY
on his left elbow when he fired the shot
into his right temple. The revolver had
dropped under Benefits left arm.
No papers were found on his body to
ascribe any reason for the suicide. In
his pockets was found a purse contain
ing a s. bill and three pennies, a cigar
case. a plug of chewing tobacco and a
package Of smoking tobacco and cigarette
papers.
Bennett was first seen in the park about
grass near the bed of lilies, his head
resting on HIS coat. which he had re-
moved and folded as a pillow. He was
smoking a cigarette. At 10 o'clock, Ga
tins. passing through the park, saw the
man lying on the grass. dead.
The dead man did not live in the city,
but on the outskirts, near Grant park.
His wife died about three years ago, and
left one child.
Bennett was a man thoroughly trusted
by all who knew him, and he bore a good
reputation. F. r. Barford, local mana
ger for the Page Wire Fence company,
for whom Bennett worked for some time,
speaks very highly Of him, and says he
was a valuable worker.
1t appears Bennett some time ago
thought OF killing himself On the 18th
Of March Call Officers Covington and
Hubbard were summoned to sol Houston
street, where they found a man lying
across the bed with a pistol in his hand.
The gun was taken away from him and II
was decided TO leave him in charge of his
family. The man was Bennett and he had
then threatened to take HIS own life.
