BANK CASHIER ,
SHOOTS HIMSELF
Suicide of E. W. Warfeld, Cashier
of St. Louis County Bank.
DIRECTORS NOT SURPRISED
Failing Health and the Death
of His Wife Believed to Have
Thrown Him on His Mental
Balance.

st. Louis, July 15.-E. w. Warield,
cashier Of the st. Louis County bank,
1t Clayton, shot himself through the
head while seated at his desk in the
bank at 1885 Friday afternoon.
Warfeld arrived at the bank at ten
o'clock Friday morning. He went
through the papers awaiting him on
his desk. Then he talked with several
employees concerning the business OF
the moment. In these conversations, it
is said, he revealed no nervousness and
there was no intimation in his manner
that he was contemplating seif-de-
struction.
Judge Spencsr, receiver of the Peo-
pies United States bank, deposited
$12,0 600 of the banks money in the
Clayton bank a few minutes before
Cashier Warield committed suicide.
The money was received by Warfield
himself.
Deliberate in Actions.
After his brief conferences with these
employees he walked over to the desk
of his nephew, Ernest Keedy, picked up
some papers that were on the desk, ex-
amined them and then tossed them
aside. Having done this, he went back
to his own desk. Here he picked up a
pen as if about to write, and then sud-
denly threw the pen down and leaned
back in his chair.
The next moment he put his right
hand back to his hip pocket and drew
a revolver. Placing the weapon to his
right temple he fired. The bullet en-
tered his head in all upward direction,
emerged, passed through the brim OF his
hat and is supposed to have gone out
through the open window. Warield
fell to the floor unconscious, and died
without having regaiIed consciousness.
Richest Man In the County.
Warfeld was known as the richest
resident of St. Louis county, and his
long connection with the bank had
made him known to nearly every per-
son in Clayton.
The body was removed from The
bank at 2 p. M, being taken TO War
fields home, which was completed only
two years ago and is said to be the
finest residence in st. Louis county
with the exception of "Stancote," the
beautiful home that belonged to the
late James L. Blair.
This home cost SIS, 900. Just before
it was completed Warield's wife died,
and he was greatly depressed there
after. He leaves four daughters, the
eldest being IA years old.
Directors Are Not Surprised.
Warfield's associates in the bank say
that he not been active in the man
agement of the banks affairs for a
month or more, owing to ill-health.
Some of the directors say that they
are not surprised by his suicide, as be
has acted in a sullen and morose man
ner for some time and seemed to be
brooding over his physical condition.
At times, they say, he did not seem to
be we'll balanced mentally.
So far as is known, Warield left no
communication explaining why he COM
,mitted suicide. He was 60 years old
and had been with the bank IS years.
The bank is capitalized for $50, 600,
of which one-half is paid. Its deposits
amount to 81, 900, 900.
Immediately after the tragedy, the
front doors of the bank were closed,
and the enormous crowd which gath
cred was prevented from entering the
building.
