ENDED HIS LIFE ON RAIL.
John Booth Strayed away from Brook

John Booth Strayed away from Brook
size Home Yesterday.
John Booth, native of Sheffield,
England, ended his life at Hinchcliffe
bridge. above Waterville, yesterday af-
ternoon, by throwing himself in front
of an approaching train. He was hor-
ribly mangled. The train was stopped
and the body brought to the Waterville
station. Medical Examiner Axtelle
viewed the body and after hearing the
evidence pronounced the case a sui
eide. The remains were removed to
Moriarty's morgue.
John Booth came to- W Waterbury from
England about twenty-five years ago,
and worked for some time in the cut
lery business here and in other towns
in the state. About 1890 he paid a
visit to friends in the old country, but
he did not remain long there. A short
time ago he tried to kill himself in his
boarding house in Thomaston, but
failed to make good Job of it. He
was brought to the Waterbury hospital
in a dying condition and remained
there until a few days ago, when he
was removed to the Brookside home.
He strolled away from the institution
yesterday and the next thing heard of
him was that he had thrown himself
in front of a railroad train and was
ground to death. This was his third
effort to end his life. Years ago he
had many friends about town and
those who knew him say he was big
hearted, honest fellow. He was about
60 wears old and unmarried He was
a knife maker and before he got on
| the down grade was considered one OF
the best workmen in the state.

came rapidly through the hall. Cap
tain Beaumont's appearance denoted
that there was something on his mind

Suddenly all the careless, INDECENT de-

stopping to investigate the charge, he
was fred by the story that he held In
his hands one who, though southern.
