SUICIDE MYSTERY IN ST. LOUIS.
Body of Man Found With Cards of
Washington Restaurant

cept several cards issued by a restaurant
in Washington. d. c.. well-dressed man
about thirty five years of age has COM
mitted suicide here by shooting. His body
was found in vacant lot.
Capt. Boardman said this afternoon that
he had not received any message from St.
Louis asking for information concerning
the identity of the man who had ended his
life there. From the meager description
received of the dead man some of the police
are inclined to believe that he was Attorney
Thomas NJ. Fields. who is wanted here to
answer a charge of embeZZlement. 1t is
alleged that Fields went off leaving short
age of about $1,000 of the funds of the
Washington Beneficial Endowment Asso-
citation. 1t is not claimed that all the
believed by friends of the missing attorney
that he has but a small amount of cash at
his disposal by this time.
Fields had been IN the habit Of spending
some time in local saloon. and 1t Is
thought probable that he had some of the
advertising cards of the proprietor in his
pocket when he went away. Detective
McNamee of this city is doing duty in St
Louis. and Captain Boardman will tele-
graph him to see the body of the man who
killed himself. He was personally acquaint-
ed with Fields and will be able to Identify
the body. should it prove to be that of the
attorney. 1t may be that the man was VIII
lard II. Myers, the missing bOOkkeeper OF
the National Safe Deposit, Savings and
Trust Company, who is alleged to have alb
seconded with funds of his employers He
is several years older than Fields and dd
