However that may be. Senator or

Anyhow. after Senator Foraker hdd
twice explicitly written the President
denying the story. the President wrote
the Senator letter which is construed
by some readers TO signify That the
President found the denial more inter

warrant for his arrest for discharging
firearms. they found the body of the
man lying in a pool Of blood in the
front room on the second floor lie
had committed suicide more than TWEEN
ty-four hours previously by shooting
himself through the head with .3S-cali-
Der revolver.
About 1890 o'clock Monday night Da-
Wis went TO his home. and, taking a
revolver from his trunk. began dis
charging It. This frightened his wife,
and she ran upstairs. Davis followed
and continued firing. Believing that he
intended killing her. the woman jumped
from a second-story window and escaped
serious injury.
A crowd was attracted TO the scene,
and several policemen arrived shortly.
The Davis woman refused 10 allow the
police to enter the house, saying she
would not prosecute her husband.
While a crowd of colOred people were
standing i'm front of the house another
shot was fired from the front room on
the second floor, where the body was
found. 1t was thought that Davis was
shooting into the crowd. which quick
" dispersed. Il is now believed that
he killed himself at that time.
When Coroner hewitt reached the
house. he found Davis lying on his
face. the revolver by his side. In his
left hand were a number of cartridges
indicating that he intended TO load tins
weapon again if he was not successful
In ending his life. Oaly one shell was
found IN the chamber of the revolver.
