DEATH IS A MYSTERY
JAMES c. cATHEY EXPIRES IN HIS
 ROOM.
Sumter County Man is Believed to Have Taken His Life After Quarrel With
 Girl.

Birmingham. Aug. Especially Considerable mystery surrounds the death of James O. cathey. whose body was shipped to his former home at Epes on an early train this morning.
 All that Is known is that he was found in an unconscious condition in a room on First Avenue shortly after he had a talk with his sweetheart. who called to see him at his request. She found him in a delirious condition. 1t is said, an did not remain by his bedside very longA
 From all accounts, no words passed between the couple and the young woman seemed cheerful when she left Shortly after her departure. Dr. P. l.. Haigler, whose office Is in the same building where Cathey roomed, dropped in to see the man. who is said to have 2 been on a spree. He found him in an unconscious condition, suffering from some powerful drug. Another physi- elan was called into consultation and the two doctors worked for hours, to no avail.
 Prior to the visit of the mans sweet heart. from all accounts, he gathered up what jewelry he had and turned 1t over to Dr. Haigler. He told the phy- sician that he was i'll and asked that his brothers be telegraphed to come to Birmingham. A message was sent to A. F. Cathey of Epes and John ca- they of Gadsden. The sick man also asked that a message be sent to his sweetheart. This request was com piled with, and it. was after her visit that Cathey is supposed to have drug ged himself. No trace of a bottle or anything containing poison was found fin the room The brothers reached here shortly after cathey breathed his last. sf1 Aa aasN ae @a+
