BY ALFRED CoCHRANn
What was il that the blackbird sang
Who whistled in the hedge
4 jovial note that rose and rang
Along the spinney's edge?
He sang that in a sheltered spot
That morning he had seen
4 budding snowdrop. and a knot
OF primrose breaking green
And under his melodious burst
1 heard the blithe refrain,
That frost and snow had done their worst.
Yet here were flowers again.

SUICIDE OF j. T. MALCOLM.
Thoroughly Despondent He Ended His
Life by Hanging.

4 suicide was discovered in this city
Monday noon, when the body of James
II. Malcolm was found hanging from
a rafter in the woodshed at his home
on Summer street. The body was found
by his wife, who called him to dinner,
but not receiving any answer, went to
look for him and found him as stated
above. This happened about 1910.
NeighbOrs We're notified and John M.
Towle of Summer street, was the first
to see the body after Mrs. Malcolm. and
when investigated by him there was no
sign of life. though the body was warm.
Coroner Frank f. Andrews was imme-
diGtely summoned and removed the
body to the house.
The action of Mr.. Malcolm was, seem
ingly, very deliberate and all indica-
lions would point to the fact that the
arrangements for the deed had been
carefully planned. The shed in which
the suicide was committed was 4 small
one, partly filled with wood. The raft
ers We're about seven feet from the floor
and We're partly noored over above.
Against the wall of the shed was a
short ladder, having four rungs and it
stepped up this ladder, attached the
rope to the rafter, put his head through
the moose and stepped off the ladder.
When seen by the Journal man the
body hung from the rope with the feet
about four inches from the wood loose
ly scattered about, and about the same
distance from the lowest rung of the
ladder which might have been easily
reached had the man cared to do 50
The rope used was of Il size somewhat
larger than n halter rope and was TIED
over the rafter by one end and looI
made in the other end. Between the
rope and the mans neck was Il pocket
handkerchief.
Coroner Andrews deemed me-
inquest necessary. Dependency was
given as the probable motive for the
suicide, az the victim had the 'blueS'
| for some time and had often spoken tC
| friends of chow much better it would
| be to be dead than alive" Severa
years ago Mr.. MalcOlm's brother il
West Gardiner took the same method
of taking his life.
| The age of the deceased was 67 years
| A widow and one daughter, Mrs. Will
| liam Il. Lehman of this city, survive
| him.
The funeral arrangements have MOI
yet been made.
