At o'clock this morning Patrolmen
Perkins and Harmon were attracted to
the home OF Peter DENIM on Harold
street by hearing three shots from a pis-
toll They learned that Mr. DENIM lived
alone. came 10 the conclusion that hi
had become tired OF life and had com
mitted suicide. They succeeded In get
ting admission to the house and they saw
three bullet holes in the ceiling OF th'
bedroom. When asked why he had fired
the shots he replied that he had beer
bothered with flies all night and could
not catch them. so he thought that he
would shoot them, and as there was nc
one In the tenement above Mr.. DENIM
the patromen returned. for they were
not sure whether Mr.. DENIM had any
right TO shoot the ceiling full Of holes
or not. AT any rate. he had shot no flies.
So they could not take him in on the
charge Of cruelty to animals or insects.
