NEXT SENATOR

Hon. Jairus Collins, was In the

really looks like that his election
ought to be made unanimous.

MARTIN FLYNN SUICIDES.

Prominent Iowa stock Man Takes Life
While Insane.
Des Moines. Flynn, presi-
dent Of the Peoples Savings bank
and one of the wealthiest men in Des
Moines, committed suicide yesterday
morning about o'clock in the base
ment Of the Miles drug store, West
Sixth and Locust street, by shooting
himself in the mouth with 32-caliber
revolver.
Temporary insanity is given by
physicians and relatives OF the dead
millionaire as the reason for the deed.
That Mr.. Flynn was demented was
shown by the cunning with which he
lodged friends and attendants, who
were striving to keep him from end
ing his own life. Mr.. Flynn during
the last few weeks had often made
threats to kill himself. And in order
to keep him from doing this he was
kept the greater part of the time for
the last year in sanitariums or hos.
pitfalls.
For the last eight months Mr.. Flynn
had been at the Battle Creek sanitar-
ium, Battle Creek, Mich, under the
constant guard of a personal attend
ant. His peculiar mania was well
known there, although it had been
kept from his friends in Des Moines.
He was suffering from an intestinal
trouble and neurasthenia, nervous
disease. He constantly believed that
his death would occur soon ana
wished to return to his home.
He was so insisteIc that he come
to Des Moines that he packed up and
started and the attendant had to
come along with him. He was in the
city two days before his friends knew
Of his presence and members of the
family at once realizing his condition,
had him taken to Mercy hospital.
There his condition was not SO well
known, and although the attendants
had been warned that he was likely
to do violence to himself, it was
thought that he would be safe under
the careful watch winch was kept
over him. Even despite the efforts
to protect him from his own violence
he cleverly lodged the nurses and at
tendants who had been secured for
him and yesterday morning broke
away and walked down town.
Going to the Peoples bank, of
which he was president, he secured
revolver, which was taken from him
by the negro porter. He then left the
bank, going to Miles drug store. Here
he went to the toilet room. and was
found dead half an hour later with a
bullet hole in the roof of his mouth.

one bitter cold morning in the
middle Of December, 1901, man who
pore the appearance of a tramp, was
round murdered in the sand house at
the Wabash depot on the outskirts Of
shenandoah. His head was terribly
beaten with some iron instrumental
broken poker-and was lying with
his feet and legs out the door. The
leet were frozen. Although life was not
extinct he did not regain conscious
not extinct he did not regal conscious
ness sufficiently to identify his assail-
ant or tell how it was done. Three
boys had been seen around the depot,
sand house and coal dump at IL
o'clock that night. They were Ed
Dennis, Eugene Mason and Wesley
Irwin. All were near the same age
and only one, the first named, over
Il. They We're arrested and tried in
the district court in May following
the crime. Each had separate trial
before a separate jury. Dennis was
convicted, Mason was cleared, and
Irwin convicted-all on precisely the
same evidence, which was wholly cir.
cumstantial. The boys stoutly main
tanned their innocence, and although
kept apart, their stories tailed exact
ly. There was a slip in the wheels
of justice somewhere. The one most
likely to be guilty went free.
Last May Wesley Twins sister,
Mrs. w. H. Jameson, living at Lin
coin, Neb., interested herself in seek
ing pardon for him. A large num-
Der of citizens here signed the petit
ton, which she carried to Governor
Cummins, who readily granted the
pardon, and sent telegram to Mrs.
Jameson that the boy would be re-
leased on the 10th. Wesley bore
good character before his conviction
and most people here are thankful
to the governor for pardoning him.
