TAKES HIS OWN LIFE
WIN. T. HENNING SWALLOWS
DOSE OF CARBoLIC ACID.

Fearing he could live but a short while
and that his sufferings would distress his
wife and three children. William T. Hen
ming a plasterer, forty-three years Of age,
who lived at sol D street northeast, COM
mitted suicide last night about o'clock
by the use of carbolic acid. When he had
swallowed a part of the contents of the
bottle he turned to his wife and suggested
that she should take what he had left, but
the frightened woman threw away the
bottle and sought aid for her husband.
He had swallowed SO much of the poison
that he was beyond aid and died at the
Casualty Hospital shortly after he reached
that institution. The affair caused consid-
cradle excitement in the vicinity of Sth
and d streets and attracted a crowd of
curious people.
Shortly after the death of the unfortu-
nate man his body was removed to the
hospital morgue and cared for until today.
Coroner hewitt viewed the remains, made
an investigation and gave. the necessary
certificate of death. Following this investi-
cation the body was removed to the family
home and prepared for burial.
Henning was an ornamental plasterer and
was always regarded as an excellent me-
chanic. His physical condition. however,
was such as to cause him considerable suf-
fering and he was unable-to pay proper
attention to his work. In addition to suf-
fering from intestinal tuberculosis he had
fall about three years ago which neceSSi-
tated operation at Providence Hospital.
Recently he showed signs of dependency,
and his suicide was not altogether uneX-
pected.
The fatal draught was swallowed while
Henning and his wife were in the kitchen
of their home, shortly after d y er.
The husband staggered to the 'front.' room
and waited for death to claim him. He
was hurried to the hospital, as stated, but
the physicians were unable to save his
life.
The deceased was a member of the plas-
terers union and members of the organiza-
ton will probably have charge of his
funeral
