Master Of Equity Of ereenylIls County Ends
His LIE With Shotgun.

ID. p. Werner, Master in Equity
for Greenville county, committed
suicide at his residence near Green
vile at o'clock yesterday morning,
using a double-ba shotgun. No
one was present at the time. Mrs,
Werner had left the room only few
moments before, and was in another
part of the house when she heard the
explosion. Hurryiug to the room
she found Judge Verner's body lying
on the bed with the weapon resting
on the floor. The upper part of the
skull had been torn away and death
is supposed to have been instanta.
neous.,
For several months Judge Werner
had been in failing health, and it ie
thought that in fit of depression,
caused by his physical condition, he
determined to take his own life. No
note, or anything explaining any de-
sire to commit suicide, has been
found. When Mrs. Werner left the
room she had closed the blinds, hop
ing that Mr.. Werner would be able to
sleep until later in the morning, as
he had been suffering of late with
insomnia. He was apparently rest
ing quietly. The gun, which Judge
Werner used to take his own life,
was resting in corner of the room,
where it had stood without having
been discharged for many years.
From the way the shot took effect,
it is supposed that he got up, took
the gun from its place, and seating
himself on the edge of the bed,
placed the gun between his feet with
the muzzle against the forehead, and
pulled the trigger.
Judge Werner spent Tuesday in
the city and at his Office, as was his
custom. Though unwell he seemed
to be no worse than usual, and the
announcement of bis death yesterday
morning was shock to his numerous
friends and acquaintances throughout
the city.
David Petigru Werner was native
of Oconee county, but removed to
this city more than twenty years ago.
