'COLORED MAN DRINKS
POISON AND DIES
Suffering Pain In Throat Ed
Williams Swallows Over.
dose of Laudanum.

Edward Williams, a colored man,
died at o'clock last evening at the
city hospital from the effects of an
overdose of laudanum, taken at his
home at an early hour yesterday morn
ing.
Williams had been i'll for few days
with throat trouble, but his condition
was not considered serious. About 5
o'clock yesterday morning his wife
heard him groaning. She spoke to
him and tried to arouse him, but could
not. She called the police and the
ambulance was sent to the house and
the man was hurried to the city hos
p1tal. 1t was discovered upon exam
1natlon that the man was suffering
from poison. A bottle Of laudanum
was found upon the table, and it was
supposed by his wife that he awoke in
the night and seized with a pain in
his throat, drank the laudanum to al
lay the suffering, taking an overdose
in his eagerness.
Williams, who lived with his wife
at 125 East Ninth street, was formerly
soldier in the Twenty fourth United
States Infantry and served in the Phil
ippines. While in the Philippines he
contracted tropical fever, from which
he suffered constantly. Since his resi-
dence in st. Paul he has been employed
at the Ryan hotel and later at the
Minnesota club as bell man. He was
tWenty-nine years old and bore a good
reputation among his employers.
