ELISHA BERRY ENDS HIS LIFE
Aged Resident Of Falls Church, Va,
Blows Out Brains.
Ill Health and worry Over Law
suit said to BE Cause
for the Deed.

The little hamlet Of Falls Church wit
messed another tragedy yesterday morn
ing, when Elisha Berry one Of the oldest
and most respected citizens. committed
suicide by blowing out his brains with a
shotgun. He was seventy-eight years old.
and had been for several years in poor
health, which. combined with worry over
a lawsuit. is thought to be the cause Of
the deed.
Unable TO pull the trigger Of the gun
while holding the weapon in his hands
the man devised a CHASTITY means Of end
ing his life. He leaned the gun against
the kitchen stove. and then. bending over
it. pressed the trigger with a lath. which
he clutched In HIS hand. After the shot
he fell backward to the floor. and the lath
lay beside him when he was discovered
while the gun was still standing where
he had placed It.
His wife. herself a woman Of seventy
six. who was his constant companion for
more than fifty years heard the mufHed
report Of a gun while she was in her bed
room early yesterday morning. and. going
to the kitchen. discovered her husband
dead.
Coroner Taylor was notified, and. after
viewing the remains. pronounced the
death a suicide. The body was given in
charge Of an undertaken and will be
buried to-day In Oakwood Cemetery at
Falls Church. The services will be con
Quoted by Rev. DR.. Thomas.
Thirty years ago Mr. Berry was prom
inent grocer in this city. and about twenty
years ago moved 10 Falls Church. where
he purchased q farm. To is said that Dc
was in good financial circumstances. and.
beside the troubles brought about by i'll
health and worry, had 10 other motive
for the s-.cide. He is survived by a son.
Arthur Berry. and a daughter. Mrs. En-
ma Newton. OF Vienna. Va
The effect Of this latest tragedy is plain
ly evident in Falls Church. which, during
the past week. has been the scene OF
many violent deaths, which began with
the suicide Of James Scott. an old soldier.
followed by the shocking Putnam murder,
and continued by yesterdays unfortu-

The mother was weeping now. '"fhat the

a lifting of arms and eyes. where did
you pick up such not.ons-you, q mere
young girl? It's those Americans you have

Fernando was silent. She had heard
those Americans contrast the French
marriage system with their own, and she
had guiltily envted the young girls their
friendship with men, their love affairs.
But she did not confess the trans-At-
lantic influence. How is it possible to

Fernando Boucher was a pretty Partisan

our little Bretonne landlady. She was like

inquired Nine. Boucher, ssrcastically.
No, l have no religious vocation. l will
simply be an old maid" said Fernando.
But don't you know that France has no
room for old maids" exclaimed madame
almost in tears. They have no life, no
position. no personality: better the most
miserable marriage than that"

self on the morrow madame had to invent
polite excuses for her daughters per-
Nersity. And Fernando sailed away with
out so much as a glance at him through
the crack of the door.
But apparently the p~retendant was not
discouraged; nay, his ardor was infiamed
to her reluctance. She was pursued to
America by his letters-let,ers at frat
ch!valrous, discreet, respectful, then grad
ually rising IN the scale of pasxion until
tendant, though he had never seen her,
was moved to fierce raptures over her
eyes, her neck, her lips: he was consumed
with riotous flames, which leaped the At
lantic ocean and made perpetual daylight
in the American wilderness. He sighed, he
languished, he died for her-could she tor
ture him thus by her GOODNESS, her remot-
eness? Could She condemn him to perish
at the stake and feed its flames with her
Scorn?
Was Fernando moved by this eloquence,
these missives? All, what Gall:c heart
could resist them Gradually her smiles
softened; her American friends could even,
now and then, find tears in her eyes. Trav-
