MAN JOKES;
 SOON AFTER
 SUICIDES
Parry Pincham Takes Dose Of ChIoral-0nly Explanation of Action Is That He Lost Job a Few Days Ago.

Judging from all of the circum- stances connected with the case, Parry Pincham, who was employed in the local mines up until a few days ago, became Respondent because he was thrown out of work, and after drinking heavily during the afternoon committe dsuicide by taking chloral. A post mo-tem examination of the body will be made by the physicians this morning, at which time the exact cause of death will probably be dis covered.
 Several days ago Pincham. who had been working at the Holbrook shaft of the Copper Queen Company was laid of, and for a while seemed to be slightly Respondent because of this fact. However. yesterday morning about 10,30 o'clock he called at the Allen Block, where his wife is en- ployed, and told her that he was going to the Lowell mine to apply for work. At that time he seemed to be in the best of spirits, and on his way to Lo- well in the company of Wall, the own CT of the Wave, joked and seemed to be very happy.
 On arriving at the suburb down the canyon he asked Wall to wait an, hour for him, and if he had not returned by that time to come on home, as he himself would probably be delayed waiting for the shift boss. From this time to o'clock Pincham's move ments are in doubt. It is stated by some that he was seen under the in fiuence of liquor.
 About S:30 o'clock he went to their rooms on Clawson Hill. directly back of the Baptist Church, and a few minutes later called at the room of a man named Mum in lodging house about one hundred feet away. It is said that at that time he had a bottle of chloral in his hand and asked Mum what the nature of the stuff was; all the time apparently being in the best of good humor.
 Pincham left the room for few minutes. and returned later. After sitting down he remarked to Mum and a man named McGraw that he would be dead within ten minutes The announcement startled them, and when he became violently i'll a few minutes later they summoned a phy. sician. Word was also telephoned to lis wife. The doctor responded to the call immediately. but when he ar rived on the scene the man was be- yond human aid When Mrs. Pincham arrived he was unconscious, and she tainted away when she learned the details, only having been told pre- viously that he was not feeling very well. He died about 1 o'clock. Coroner Hogan was notified and after summoning a jury proceeded to the scene. The jury viewed the re mains and then adjourned to meet in the coroner's office where the inquest will be held
 When seen last night by a repre- sentative of the Review Mrs. Pinchan was in a very nervous state as a re suit of the terrible shock. When asked if there was anything she knew of which would have driven her bus. band to suicide, she said there was not. She stated that they had always ] been very happy during the six years 1 of their married life, and that al though her husband had been a little bit downcast because of losing his work in the mines, he seemed to be in the best of good spirits yesterday morning, and joked with her at heI place of employment She said he kissed her goodbye and left for tho Lowell shaft, after which she did not see him again until he was uncon scious.
 The body was seen by Review man last evening and from all outward appearances the deceased was deli l cately constituted, being very thin although about six feet-in height, and having the appearance of a consump. tive, although it was stated that he had rarely been i'll.
 Pincham was 2S years of age, and came to the district from central Texas about one year ago, his wife following him later He first worked as A butcher and then went into the mines. He had no children.
