William Moses. Arrested. Suicides.
William Moses Of Tunbridge commit
ted suicide at the South Isoyalton House
last Friday morning by taking carbolic
acid. He was in the custody of Deputy
Sheriff D. D. Howe OF Randolph, held at
hearing before Q. B. Smith of Randolph
ct Tunbridge Thursday afternoon,
charged with writing a Black Hand letter
found in the yard OF the residence Of FL
mer Woodward OF South Tunbridee. de-
handing $500. threatening more trouble.
Moses was taken to South RoyaIton ex-
pecting to secure bail. He, had 1886. in
money on his person and also offered to
put up $500 worth OF land to secure q
bondsman. Failing in his effort, the
officer concluded to remain over night
and take his prisoner to jail the next
day. He was lodged in a room adjoining
the officer. At about O'Clock Fpiday
morning, the officer was aroused by the
groaning of the prisoner. Going to his
room, he found Moses deathly sick. He
called for help and sent for Drs. Fish and
Ellis. They came promptly. Moses was
alive when DR.. Fish arrived, but died
very soon after and before DR.. Ellis ar
rived. A bottle partly full Of carbolic
acid was found in the room.
Moses was 81 years old, born and had
spent most Of his life in Tunbridge. At
one time his mother was q housekeeper
for Arunah Woodward. At the close of
her engagement she was paid and gave a
receipt to that effect. A year ago her two
sons brought q suit against Mr.. Wood
ward for the recovery of a further sum Of
money than was paid their mother for
her services. The suit was ruled out of
court for no cause OF action.
On the evening Of Oct. 9 last, the house,
barns and nearly all the contents Of the
Arunah Woodward home were burned.
The fire was discovered in the barn about
8 O'Clock by persons sent from the house
OF Fred Northrop to notify the family Of
Kendriek Woodward Of the death Of Mr..
Northrop, their son-in law. He gave the
alarm to the Arunah ano Kendrick Wood
ward families in the house.
A year ago the barn of Kendrick Wood
ward on the farm adjoining was burned.
Both fires were considered to have been
of incendiary origin. Suspicion pointed
to the Moses family and William Moses
was arrested.
The body of Moses was taken in
charge by the undertaken and kept till
last Monday, when it was taken to-
Tunbridge for burial.
