A VERY SAD SUICIDE
Mr.. Ed Marlborough Kill
ed Himself Yester-
day Afternoon.

The city was shocked late yesterday
afternoon when the heIS became
known that Mr.. Ed. Marlborough, a
well known citizen of this city. had
committed suicide. When found. he
was lying in his own blood. in a bed
room at his home. on East Davie
street. Mrs. Marlborough and some
friends as nei~Abors were on the
front porch when the report Of the
gun was heard. Rusing into the back
room from whence the awful sound
came, the strickened form Of her hus-
band, lying on his right side with a
l. bore shotgun resting near his
mouth. was the heart-rending scere
that the sorely grieVed Wife beheld.
1t appeared from the position of the
body that he had deliberately planned
his own destruction and had used the
most honorable way possible. 1t
seems that he lay fiat on his back on
the room floor and put the muzzle of
the gun in his mouth, placing the
stock into a chair which was against
the wall and then holding the gun
in his right hand he pulled the trig
ger with the other, sending a load of
shot into his head.
Death was instant as there was no
sign OF a struggle in the agonies of
death. The reasons of the suicide are
not known, yet, it is said that he had
been drinking badly of late. He was
seen up the street early yesterday
morning and had talked With several
friends.
Mr. Marlborough leaves Wife and
five children TO mourn his death. He
was a grandson of the late Colonel
Edward NJ. Marlborough, of this city.
MI. Marlborough was about so years
of age, and had lived in Raleigh a
good many years He had been a
member of the order of Red Men for
quite a while. The interment will
take place today in the. old family
cemetery about nine miles from the
city. There was no coroner's in
quest as it was unnecessary. Mr..
Marlborough, it is said, was not a
member of any church.

Capt James Wilson. of Allegheny.
Pa, has been prosecuted for accept
ing brides and thus permitting dis
reputable houses to run while he was
captain of police. Several months
ago an anti-graft league was formed
and Wilson was prosecuted on several
counts On the first trial the jury
disagreed. on the second trial he was
acquitted. but the third time was the
charm, and the captain was found
guilty.
The league has arrested and prose
cuted 49, persons in Allegheny on
these charges, and is determined to
clean out the grafters. Wilson's at
torneys will ask for a new trial, and if
it is refused will appeal the case TO
