REV. COFFNAN DEAD.
Preacher Who Killed His Wife Passed
AWAY nj FnirmnnI MnsniIuL

AWAY NJ PsirmOnt Hospital.
Rev. S. A. Cofimsn, the Metho-
dist preacher who killed his wife at
Rossiown, Marion county, aon the
night of May rs, died at the FAIR
mont City hospital Monday evening.
The cause Of his terrible deed at
Rosstown two weeks ago is beneved
to be insanity. After killing his
wife he went to the home Of a neigh
Dor and told what he had done.
The following morning he was taken
to Jail in Fairmont and remained
quietly there until last Tuesday. On
that day he became irritable aud
violent aud attacked the prisoners
in the Jail. Ii is believed by those
who were close to him that he be-
came conscious Of what he had
done at that time. From Tuesday
until Friday, last week, ne refused
to take any nourishment, and on
the latter day, after consultation
of the officers and physician, he
was removed To the hospital. He
seemed to Improve until Sunday,
when a relapse came and death fol.
lowed.
The shock, when with the return
OF reason he realized the enormity
of his crime, is thought to have
caused bis death. He told the
nurses that he had nothing to live
for and wanted to die.

DESPONDENT MAN
Joseph Shepherd Is Arrested
After Buying Pistol to
Kill Himself

When Joseph Shepherd, a printer.
was stopped as he walked out of a
pawnshop at Third and Townsend
streets yesterday by Patrolman Jack
Tillmann of the southern district and
asked point blank if he intended to
commit suicide. he was plainly aston
ished.
who told you?" he calculated in
surprise. It's none of your funeral if
do, is it? This is my own private
affair"
"Oh, that's all right" returned the
big policeman, but just excuse me a
second while I read this note" He
reached under Shepherds coat !, and
pulled out a piece of white paper that
was plainly visible sticking out from
under the buttons of his vest This
was what was written on it:
I, Joseph s. Shepherd, am this day
tired Of life I am alone in the world
VIII deliberately take my own life,
and 1 have a right to do so, The
cause of my act is sickness during the
past four years"
There's law against people COM
mitting suicide even if they want TO do
it," said Tillmann. Il guess you'n have
to come along with me-" When he
reached down and took a big revolver
out OF the printers MP pocket Snepneru
admitted he had just bought it in the
pawnshop for the purpose of shooting
himself He begged to be allowed to
take his life. but TilImann took him to
the southern station. where he was
locked up on a charge of carrying con-
cealed weapons. 1t was one of the few
arrests that have occurred in San Fran
cisco based on the law making 1t a
crime TO attempt to comlhit suicide.
Tillmann had noticed the note paper
protruding from Shepherds vest as he
stepped from the pawnshop and, taking
into account his general air of de-
spoudency, with Sherlock Holmes
acuteness he quickly surmised that the
man was intending to kill himself and
that on the paper was written his fare
well message.
