self, But Nerve Failed.
BROTHER OF J. B. NIXON TOOK
CHARGE OF BODY WHICH WILL
BE BURIED AT HoPKINsVILLE
BELIEVE He INTENDED TO
RENDER-FAMILY DENIES
CHARGES AGAINST HIM.
Special to The Journal.

Henderson, KY, Jan. 19.-The fam
lily of John B. Nixon, who committed
suicide in a bath room at Hotel Hen.
dersOn on Thursday by firing a bullet
through his heart stOutly deny that he
is guilty of rObbing and setting ire
to the Kress store in Pensacola.
The suicides brother, w. II. Nixon.
came here and took the body to Hop
kinsville where the funeral will be
held on Saturday. Deceased had an
other brother, J. c. Nixon, who is in
business in Memphis, Tenn.
At the time of his death Nixon had
only 1915 and was evidently strand
ed. He had cut his throat. and also
attempted to open the veins of his
arm and leg in St. Louis or some other
city. west, but probably did not have
nerve enough to complete the job.
Nixon arrived here via the L. & "
at 2:45 p. m. January II. His throat
was bandaged at the time, and the
bandage was found in his room after
he killed himself.
His brother, who came here for the
body refused to talk and took charge
of NixOn's baggage, containing all his
Papers. The brother is much wrought
up over the charge that Nixon robbed
and fired the Kress store and threat
ems to go to Pensacola and shoot the
accusers on sight.
Relatives at HOpkinsyille believe
Nixon intended to surrender either at
Henderson or HOpkinsville and think
the suicide was committed during a
moment of mental ALTERATION.
Nixon's brother was intoxicated and
threatened a policeman at Hopkins
Vile. He probably knew Of NiXOn's
career. but denied that he had trav-
eled west since the fire. His family
claims he was not in hfling and are
inclined TO deny the charges against
him.
1t is rumored that he carried $751;
600 life insurance.
