WORRY ABOUT DEBTS
LED HIM TO SUICIDE
Robert A. Sedwick Ends His Life
by Taking Poison.

After preparing for the disposition of
his body, Robert A. Sedwick. fifty years
Old clerk in the Treasury Depart
ment, killed himself with morphine at
his boarding house. 1905 l Street north
west, last night, while brooding over
financial troubles. Before taking the
poison he wrote a score of letters in
explanation of the act, and also gave
directions as to his burial.
From the tone of the letters Sedwick
had been worried over money matters
for year or more. About a month
ago the officials of the Treasury De-
partment informed him that number
of money lenders had reported his fail
ure to pay them. He became respondent
and evidently decided to take his life
several days ago, when note was dis
covered with the following words on it.:
ITO be opened after my DEATH
Yesterday he was found suffering from
the poison. DR.. Ashland FARMLAND was
summoned, and pronounced his con-
ditiOn serious. He died shortly after 6
O'Clock. In his room were found the
letters which set forth that he had
been crowded TO the wall by money
lenders
Mr.. Sedwicks death under such de-
plorable circumstances is viewed by his
friends as exceptionally distressing be-
cause of mis- high moral character and
great gentleness of nature. He was for
many years city auditor of Birmingham,
Ala. His devotion to his family was
marked He was, moreover, distin-
guished for the quiet earnestness of his
devotions at Mount Vernon Place NJ. E.
Church. South. That a man of such
character and attributes should be
driven, under the stress of great worry,
to take his own life seems to Mr.. Sed-
wick's friends unspeakably sad
Mrs. Sedwick and Miss Sedwick are
expected TO arrive in Washington to-
morrow. The funeral services will be
held at Wrights undertaking establish
ment Saturday and the hody will then be
taken TO Mr.. Sedwick's old home in
Warrenton, Va.
