PRISONER CARRIES
OUT SUICIDE PACT
August Coussens, Cellmate of
Mark Manchester, Hangs
Himself in Jail

OAKLAND, Aug. 13.-Having heard
of the suicide of Mark Manchester, his
former eellmate, August Coussens,
awaiting trial on a murder charge in
the county Jail, spoke approvingly of
Manchester's act, asked for a hearty
supper and was found dead this morn
ing having hanged himself by a ban
dage to the grating.
Evidence that suicide pact existed
between the two men was reported to-
day by Jailer White. Manchester, who
was an art connoisseur, made a strong
impression on Coussens during their
confinement in the same cell 1t was
generally known that Manchester had
been on the verge of q break down
since his arrest, charged with improper
conduct before two boys. Jailer White
holds that Manchester planned to kill
himself as soon as released on bail and
that he took Coussens into his conf
dence and that a suicide pact was
formed which was strictly adhered to.
Manchester asphyxiated himself and
was found Thursday morning.
Coussens left his wife after they had
opened small restaurant in Washing
ton street. She continued the business
alone and employed Harry Shattuck as
cook. Coussens returned to the place
and laid in wait for Shattuck behind
the lunch counter. He fired revolver
bullet as Shattuck unlocked the. door
and Shattuck died within few days,
having been shot through the body
Coussens appeared mentally unbal-
anced and created a disturbance in
Judge Harris court when arraigned.
Attorney B. ]. Wyman had arranged
Tor the entry of a plea of not guilty,
but Coussens shouted that he was
guilty and wanted to plead guilty and
take sentence at once.
News of the suicide of Manchester
was carried into the corridor by a
trusty late Thursday evening. There
was nothing else for him TO do" said
Coussens. He could never face that
disgrace"
During the night Coussens carefully
unwound long surgical bandage
placed about his knee to relieve rheu-
matte pains, attached the bandage to
the grating about seven feet above
the floor, and knotting the end tightly
ABOUT his throat, stepped off his bunk.
his feet were suspended about six
inches above the floor and his BODY wa :
cold' showing that he had been dead
more than two hours when found.
