GREAT SHOCK TO FRIENDS
DEAD MAN AND HIS WIFE HIGH
LY ESTEEMED I'M THIS CIV,
GREAT SHOCK TO FRIENDS
Especial to The Herald.)


San Francisco, March 2.-Leaving his
young wife on a sick bed, from which
she may never rise, Frank E. Davey,
son of a prominent banker of Sloan
Springs, Ark, shot himself in the heart
at IL O'Clock this forenoon in Oak
land.
The deed was committed at Oak
land avenue and Greenbank streets.
Davey had wandered in the streets and
over the hills of Piedmont for two
hours before he determined to kill him
self. and was in the middle of the
street in the fashionable Piedmont res
idence section when he fired the fatal
shot. His death leaves an invalid wife
and baby 10 months old uncared
for.
Out of Work and pespondent.
Davey had been employed as a clerk
in the general storekeepers office of
the Southern Pacific company. Of late
he has been out of work and his wife
has been suffering from heart trouble.
Davey had become Respondent and al
though he could have received finan-
cial assistance from his father, was too
proud to ask for it.
DR.. H. E. Huntington found Davey's
body at noon today lying in the road
way. At the side of the body was the
pistol with which Davey had killed
himself. DIR. Huntington summoned DR..
5. A. Kendall, marshal of Piedmont.
and watch was maintained over the
body until the mOrgue could be nOti-
fled. The inquest will be held to
morrow.
Davey was 30 years of age, and. ac-
cOrding to the officials of the Southern
Pacific. had been d faithful employee.
Shock May Kill the Wife.
II is thought that the news of her
husbands tragic death will be too
much for Mrs. Davey in her weakened
condition to endure.
The Daveys have lived in a comfort
able cottage in Moss avenue in Oak
land and have moved with the most
refined people of the transbay city
Davey's friends were shocked at his
untimely end. Although he had been
noticeably gloomy he had never con-
fided to any one that he contemplated
Se!f-destrUction.
The wife has not yet been informed
of Ler husbands death. and tonight is
said to be in a too critical condition to
Withstand the shock of such informa-
tiun. Davey had been told by her ply
siCian that she could not live and the
thought of losing her proha bly, unhinged
his mind and the suicide followed.
