DEATH HEALS
DEEP SORROW
Eugene Bissell, Formerly an
Army officer, Found Dead
in Room Filled With Gas
THOUGHT TO BE SUICIDE
Dependency Over the Loss
of His Wife Is Believed
to Have Caused the Act

Eugene V N Bissell, a retired army
officer. was found dead in his apart
rnents at the Grand Hotel yesterday.
The fact that his room was filed with
gas. gaping from two wide-open jets,
indicates that Bisseu committed sui
eide. though he left no statement to
that effe,t
Grief over the loss Of his beautiful
wife. who died suddenly last spring at
Chicago. is believed TO have driven the
former soldier TO end his life A little
racket containing a tress Of dark
brown hair. found near the body bears
out this belief II bore this writing:
A lock Of my beloved wife's hair. She
died Aprsl Is 1904" Beside the packet
lay a photograph Of the dead woman.
The life OF Eugene Bissen was full
q action. Until 1893 he was in busi-
ness with his father. Eugene Bissell
Sr. q commission merchant Of New
York, IN that year he was appointed
CO prain in the FoTzy--fSuIth Volun-
teers and went with his regiment to
the Philippines. He was later trans
ferred 10 the Second Cavalry and made
z second lieutenant Of regulars. He
obtained his discharge in 1901 and went
10 China Early in 1902 he came to
San Francisco and married Miss Sara
-Elinor Hudson Of Canada
The wedding was the outcome Of a
pretty<somance. He met Miss Hudson
shortly before he became a soldier
she was then studying at a convent
IN Ottawa. Miss Hudson, a pretty girl
in her teens, dropped a book BisselI
picked II up for her and from that
incident a friendship was formed that
ripened into love. The most touching
letter IN the dead mans effects was a
little scrawl from Mss Hudson re-
minding him Of the incident and speak
ing Of the happiness it would bring
both. The happiness was short-lived
Mrs. Bissell died suddenly on April 1s
From that time Bisseu seems to have
lost any real desire for life. Provided
with letters from influential frinds. he
came TO San Francisco ostensibly to
enter into business here and to try 10
forget his great loss, but this was evi-

years Of age. he seems TO have lost
ambition. From his correspondence it
was learned that he tried to obtain
a commission in the Chinese army. He
probably believed that he might be able
10 forget his sorrow in the rush and
excitement Of active service But his
efforts were unsuccessful. Attempts TO
secure profitable employment here were
also fruitless.
Very little cash was found in Bies-

BROKERS' WIFE
MAY Be SUED
Judge Cook Authorizes Ac-
ton Against Woman Who
Holds Valuable Stocks
is PAID BIG DIVIDENDS
Mrs. Walls Receives Sc
curities as a Gift From
President of the Company

The efforts of John A. Walls, broker,
to resist payment to Stephen Otis, a
broker, of a judgment for S1607 so, prom
ises to make an interesting story be-
fore the litigation is ended. Otis sued
Walls for money said to be due and got
jury verdict in the Superior Court.
Walls had no assets subject to judg-
ment, and Otis attempted to collect
from money in bank in the name of
Mrs. Walls. Yesterday Judge Carroll
Cook gave Otis permission to sue Mrs.
Walls for the amount and issued an
order restraining the disposition of SIS
shares of stock in the Central Grain
and Stock Exchange owned by Mrs
Walls. She has received S41. 900 in divi-
dends on the stock and has the money
on deposit in various banks.
When Otis commenced his suit Walls
answered that he would not pay the
claim because it represented a gam
bling debt in connection with transac-
tions on the Pacific Stock Exchange.
The pleading failed to find sympathy
with the jury.
The question of Mrs. Walls holdings
of valuable stock and dividends was
later sumbitted to Eugene w. Levy as
referee and it was brought out that
when the Walls Nore married in 1896
the wife had about $1,000. About five
years ago she was presented with 51S
shares in the Grain and Stock Exchange
Company, of which her husband was
head clerk. The gift was made by w.
E. Baines, president Of the company.
Mrs. Walls declined to answer the
questions Of Attorney Tauszky before
the referee. Baines was equally reti-
cent, but admitted that he had given
the stock to Mrs Walls at a downtown
restaurant in the presence of her hus-
band
II appeared in the examination that
Mrs. Walls had taken the stock out of
safe deposit box and taken ii home
In her testimony before the referee the
lady said that she clothed herself and
bought her own jewelry out of the divi-
dends received, usually giving her hus-
hand the money with which to make
the purchases.

field, Conn, were in his trunks. Many
notes of coincidence from New Yorl,
people on his wife's death were also
discovered. He had a card of admis-
sion to the Bohemian Club indorsed by
Allan St. John Bowie.
Bissell's body was discovered by Bert
Scoville, bellboy at the hotel He de-
tected the smell of gas near the room
and, climbing through the tramson.
found the former army officer dead in
his bed.
From letters found it was learned
that Bissell has two children. a boy and
girl, by former marriage. The
children are at 21O Berkeley place,
Brooklyn, II. Y.
