Also Uses Carbolic Acid as Means of
Ending Life.

This morning shortly after Coroner hewitt
had concluded his investigation of the sui
eide of Frederick Walters, who swallowed
carbolic acid last night, he was summoned
to 3oS 1Gth street northwest to make a
similar investigation in connection with the
death of Otto Guttermuth, sixty-three years
of age, a former inmate of the Soldiers
Home. The dead body of the former soldier
was found in the toilet room on the second

known whether or not he will send for the
body. The unfortunate man had expressed
a desire to be buried at Arlington.
Guttermuth. it is said, had several times
told his friends he would take his life. He
had made the statement SO. many times, it
is stated, that his associates paid no atten-
ton to it. 1t is said he had once left the
Soldiers Home and had been re-entered
and again left The last time he was told
he could not return. His offense, it is said,
was continued intemperance. Several times
during the past few years he had been en-
ployed in the harness establishment Of s..
D. Houck in the building in which he took
his life.
The last employment of the former soldier
covered a period of about three weeks-~He
worked on mail bags belonging to the gov

stated, he was seen under the influence of
liquor, but just when he entered the 10th

was found by John Breen, painter, who
is employed in the building. The police were
notified and the ambulance was summoned
from the Emergency Hospital DR.. Sutton,
who responded with the ambulance, pro-
nounced life extinct and the body was
afterward taken to the morgue. 1t will
probably be removed from the morgue this
afternoon and buried in one of the national
cemeteries tomorrow.

searched at the morgue letter was found
in one of the pockets which was addressed
to a local paper. 1t reads: Il, the under
signed, am contemplating suicide because
