mitted Suicide.

ruin an innocent man..
This was the message contained in a
farewell letter found in the effects of
William Bainbridge, confidential agent Of
the United States treasury department in
charge OF its Paris customs bureau, who
committed suicide yesterday.
Mr.. Bainbridge's colleagues at the
American consulate are unable to throw
any light on these tragic words. They
say they know nothing Of a plot involving
the agent Lately il was noticed that
Bainbridge was extremely nervous from
overwork and worry when engaged in fer
reting out information in connection with
the New York trunk smuggling cases.
Consul General Mason continues to be
lieve that Mr. Bainbridge had become in
sane Mrs cambridge however. without
hesitation expresses belief in her hus-
bands words. She explains his assertion
by the fact that her husband for week
prior to his suicide was completely pos
sessed by the idea that a former treasury
agent had been plotting his ruin in re-
venge for dismissal.
Il is understood that an investigation
will be made into the statements comm
nicated TO Mrs cambridge by her hus-
band. which have not as yet assumed the
shape Of direct charges In his report

ably viii refer to the peculiar circum-
