SHOT HIMSELF IN TEMPLE!
=. q
Thomas Roger who Commits Sui
eide by Shooting Himself
With a Revolver.

Thomas Roger, who resided with his
wife and six children near the @. depot
in this city, committed suicide Tuesday
evening by shooting himself in the right
temple with 32-calibre revolver, kill
ing himself instantly.
The deceased was SO years of age and
for the past year up to three weeks ago
he has been employed in the feeding
room of Swift & Co.'s poultry establish
ment in this city. He was an industri.
Gus and hard working man, and his
work gave perfect satisfaction. About
three weeks ago he quit work and said
he was going to take rest. Since then
he has done no work and has remained
around the house, and while he did not
complain he was evidently not feeling
right. Tuesday morning he shaved
himself and was around the house all
day, but appeared Respondent and
would stand for hours looking out of
the window. A few minutes before the
shooting Mrs. Roger had started up
town and had stopped at the home Of
Sam Rock. Mr.. Roger and the children
were in the house, and the eldest girl,
aged II years, says her father went to
the bureau drawer, unlocked it and took
the revolver out. He then went into
the bedroom and laid down on the bed,
placing pillow under his head and
fired the fatal shot, which killed him in
stantly, as they only heard him utter a
slight groan. The children ran from the
house and told some of the employees of
Swift & Co. of the shooting, and when
the men reached the house Mr.. koger
was dead, the revolver still clutched in
his right hand, and it was removed by
Ed Albaugh. Roger purchased the re-
volver in st. Joe about year ago when
he went there to look Tor work. Mrs.
Roger says she knows of no reason why
he should have committed the deed, as
he had no trouble with her or anyone
else so far as she knew, but that he had
appeared to be worried i about some
thing.
The deceased was the youngest son of
the late Jordan Roger and prior to COM
ing to Leon two years ago had resided
on farm west of Decatur. He leaves q
wife and six children, four girls and two
boys, the oldest child being girl fifteen
years of age, and the youngest q baby
two years old. The authorities decided
it was not necessary to hold an inquest
and the funeral will be held at Decatur
this afternoon.
