NOT CASE
OF SUICIDE
Rev. j. r. SturgiS Tells Of DR..
Willlamson's Death.
CAUSED BY a WEAK HEART
Over Stimulating With Alcohol Followed
by Oysrd osing With Sedatives as a
Correctve-High Tribute
to the Deceased.

Editor OF The Tfmes-Dispatch:
sir,-In Justice to the memory Of the
dead; in consideration Of the rights and
sorrows OF the bereaved; and for the In
formation Of many friends Of the de-
ceased, his widow and kindred, 1t Is felt
that something more should be said con-
corning the death In West Virginia or
DR.. Charles l.. Williamson
DR.. Williamson did not commit suicide.
Nothing was farther from his mind and
purpose than tho taking of his own lfe
The statement that he did not was
rightly made in your columns by DR..
Davis. In whose house DR.. Williamson
died. But many may remember the tcle-
grams and head lines branding him as q
suicide, who may easily forget, or ques-
ton, the brief denial made by Dr.. Davis,
In the absence Of fuller particulars.
Even the coroner's Jury, who viewed his
remains under most exciting crcum-
stances, and as those Of mere stranger
in their community, went no farther
to his death ."by an overdose Of choral
hydrate administered by his own hand"
Whether the overdose was Intentional
or accident tai the verdict does not pre-
sumo to say.
ATTITUDE OF JURY.
This attitude and verdict Of the Jury
were natural and In accordance with the
facts as understood by them. 1t seemed
apparent to them that death was the
Immediate result of an overdose OF the
drug named by them. The Jury stated
the seeming facts and left all differences
to others. For this the bereaved are
grateful.
And had that Jury known what some
Of us know, the verdict would have been:
'Died of heart failure" To have given
a verdict strictly in accordance with the
facts, the jury would have probably
added: Heart failure, superinduced by
over-stmulating with alcohol, followed
by overdosing with sedatfves as cor
receive Of the over-stin1ulation." That
verdict would have set forth the actual
facts In the case.
He had a weak heart. The anguished
wife who mourns him has twice had her
gravest fears excited by the severity Of
attacks during their short married life.
He knew that 1t was no mere sympathe-
tic disturbance, but an organic affection
that would probably result In sudden
death. This depressed him more than
anything else. Because of 1t, he would
sometimes say, after a drinking spell,
that he never expected to die In bed
with loved ones about him. as people usu-
ally died. He probably made some such
unfortunate remark while In West Vir-
GINA: II SO. this would help in suggest
! ing and coioring thess,licida theory.
HIS SUDDEN5'DEATH.

drate may prove fatal. but II does not

EXAMINING SURGEONS
DETERMINED THAT THEY ARE
NOT IN CLASSIFIED SERVICE.
Deputy Commissioner Davenport Tells
Of the Action of Former Pension
Commissioner Evans

Mr.. J. L. Davenport. deputy commits
sioner of pensions, in speaking today to a
Star reporter in regard to the removal of
Mclaughlin as examining surgeon and the
exchange of places between Messrs. Filler
and Eangeuder. said:
LAS l recall the matter of examining
surgeons, when H. Clay Eoans assumed
the position of commissioner of pensions
he found the boards of examining sur
geons scattered throughout the country
composed practically of all democrats. No
changes were made in the personnel of the
boards at first for the reason that they
We're considered to be within the classified
service. The matter was eventually taken
up by the authorities with the result that
they were declared to be outside of the
classified service. and very properly so, it
sense to me. for the reason that they are APP
pointed without examination, simply upon
the recommendation of some responsible
party, and their duties in way interfere
with the practice of their profession.
THE duties of an examining surgeon de-
mand but hour two twice a week in
the large cities. and one day each week in
the smaller places.
Not in Classified Service.
after it was determined that these posi-
tions were not in the classified service,
President Mckinley. in consultation with
Commissioner Evans, declared that they
should be made bipartisan, in far
that the political party out of power should
have one representative upon each board
(the boards consisting of three members
each).
The service was reorganlZed upon this
basis in each instance where the Commits
sioner's attention was called to contrary
condition existing. Attention was never
directed to some of the boards. and they
re- democratic.
"Of the nearly seven thousand employees
of the government coming within the juris-
diction of the bureau of pensions the ex-
amining surgeons are the only ones that
the commissioner Of pensions has the abso-
lutte right of appointing and removing.
Il might add that President Roosevelt
directed the continuance Of the practice
inaugurated by President Mckinley of
making these boards non-partisan.
The Exchange Of Places.
LAS to the exchange of places between
Mr. Filler and Mr.. Vangeuder, 1t seems
proper to state that the law as passed
creating the position of principal examiner,
with the salary of $1,000, specifically pro-
vided that the persons appointed to said
position should perform certain duties.
Mr.. Filler has not performed the duties
thus prescribed. but Mr.. Vangeuder has
Hence the necessary exchange of positions
between these two employees. and for this
reason Mr.. Filler has no just grounds of
complaint.
