BROKEN HEART IS
CAUSE OF SUICIDE
O. NJ. HartzeII, Millionaire Steel
Magnate, Grieyes Over Wife's
Death and Kills Himself

SAN RAFAEL. Oct 1s.-With q
strange calmness born Of the conviction
that his broken heart could never heal.
Othan N Hartzeu. a wealthy retired
steel magnate Of Pittsburg. wrote a Sc
ries OF farewell letters and kilograms
IN his apartments AT the Hotel Rafael
this afternoon, took one last look at
lock OF hair OF the wife he recently lost
and then shot himself through the head
He fingered through the afternoon and
night, but his death IS merely a matter
OF moments
Although certain elements of mystery
exist. the general belief OF those who
knew Hartzell best is that he had de-
cided after grieving for two years TO
follow his wife TO the grave The let
ters show that he had prepared for
death, even 10 the minutest detail Of
the expense of his funeral The dis
passionate language OF the correspond
ence vouchsafes nothing more definite
10 his friends than that he was prompt
ed ~by good and sufficient reasons"
This expression was used in a letter
written TO A T. de Forrest. manager Of
the American steel and wire company
of San Francisco. who was Hartzells
closest friend De Forrest was shocked
al the news, but could offer no solution
other than that Hartzell had been un-
able TO overcome his grief
The precision and almost weird clar-
ity Of Hartzelrs mental faculties were
reflected practically in the moment OF
DEATH II was Is minutes before 5
o'clock this afternoon when he had COM
p1eted his correspondence in his room
He arose and walked TO the telephone
and called Manager F. " Orpin, IN the
0ffice below
ASKS FOR MANAGER
This is Hartzell.- he said Gould
want TO see you on a matter Of busi-
ness
1t was an ordinary message and
Orpin replied perfunctorily that he
would keep the engagement At the
appointed time he called at the apart
! ment and found Hartzell seated in a
chair. gaping wound in his temple
and the revolver lying beside him on
the floor In the upper coat pocket was
a wisp Of dark hair tied with a finw
blue ribbon II was a memento Of
what had been dearest TO him in lffe
Hartzell was taken at once TO the
Cottage h0spitab where DR. ". T
Wickman attended him II was an
parent that he could never regain con-
sciousness-
De Forrest was notified al his home
in Paio Alto and at once came 10 San
Rafael He found here a long letter
which Hartzell had written during the
afternoon In the note Hartzen stated
that he had taken his life for good and
sufficient reasons. that he was not
afraid TO die and was prepared for the
life beyond He stated that he had
been al church yesterday and that he
had enjoyed the sermon He asked
that his remains be cremated Al Cy-
