ing, an actor formerly with the Florence
Roberts company, shot and killed himself
in front of her door on the second floor
of the Hotel Spokane at o'clock yester-
day evening. 1t is said he was deeply
infatuated with Miss Roberts and because
she objected to his attentions and would
not allow him to again join the company,
he killed himself
He had threatened to kill himself in
the morning, and Miss Roberts, knowing
he was desperate, informed her manager.
He employed detective to keep watch
of the man, but the detective went to
sleep and Yielding took advantage of the
opportunity and went upstairs. When he
reached the door of Miss Roberts room
he put the barrel Of a pistol into his
mouth and fired. Hearing the shot, Miss
Roberts opened the door in time to see
the man fall
Yielding was discharged from the com
pany in December, but continued to follow
the troupe from place to place.
