West Orange. n. j.. Feb. 17.--John r.
Randolph treasurer of the Edison
Manufacturing Company of which
Thomas A Edison is president, COM
mitted suicide today by shooting. 1t Is
believed that Randolph was tempor-
arily insane.
That Mrs. Randolph did not follow
her husband to his death was due to
the prompt and determined action or
Mr.. Edison. When he reached the
house Mrs. Randolph was hysterical,
wringing her hands and crying out that
she would kill herself. Edison followed
Mrs. Randolph to the second floor ana
came upon her as she was about to
throw herself from second story Win
dow He seized the frenzied woman
and after hard struggle succeeded
in pulling her back to safety.
Several letters left by Randolph
showed the suicide was deliberately
planned. In one, which was addressed
to Mrs. Randolph, he assured her that
provision would be made whereby all
his property would go to her. The LETT
ter declared that every dollar which he
possessed had been gained honestly by
hard work Among the letters was one
for Mr.. Edison, also one for Mrs.
Edison. The contents of these letters
were not made public.
