HIS DEATH SELF INFLICTED
ANDREW BARNES, DESPOND-
EMIT, TAKES LAUDANUM.
Had Been a Letter Carrier for
Twenty-Five Years and Was As
signed to Southwest Section.

Andrew Barnes. fifty years old. who had
been a mail carrier in the southeast sec
ton of the city for twenty-five years,
committed suicide this forenoon by taking
laudanum. He is thought to have taken
the poison shortly after he left his home,
6O3 f street southeast, and went to the
house Of John T. Burdne, friend. at 12O
r street, where he died. A few minutes
before he reached the house, Barnes
passed Policeman Smith on the street He
slapped the latter on the shoulder, laugh
him. although he was then In a dying
condition.
A few minutes after he passed the DO
liceman he entered Mr.. Burdine's home
and said:
i've taken poison; If you don't believe
me smell my breath"
Mrs. Burdine detected the odor of the
poison and hurried to get an antidote, but
Barnes refused to swallow it: Dr. L. l..
friedrich was summoned to the house.
He labored hard to save the life of the
patient, but about one hour after the
physician reached the house Barnes died.
1t was said by friends of the dead man
this afternoon that he had been despond-
ent because of illness and that he had
several times said he was willing to die
About a year ago he made a remark to
policeman on his route which caused
the latter to think he was contemplating
suicide. Because of the number of times
he had talked of suicide, 1t is stated, no
attention was paid to his remarks. This
morning, although respondent, he said
nothing about what he had made up hts
mind to do.

Fuller yesterday afternoon won the finals
of the doubles of the Chevy Chase Club
tennis tournament from Lieut.. Rockwell
and w. w. Finley. jr., by a score OF 3
sets to >.
The win of the finals by the Fuller
brothers, who are sixteen and fifteen
years OF age. respectively. was received
with enthusiasm by the gallery of spec
tators. Getting of with good start, the
runners-up took the first two sets. but
the Fuller brothers were not to be out
done, and with a determination to take
the match they entered the third set with
vim and won 1t. They also took the
next two in the same style. The scores
were Id. 81 SIS - and 6-4
The playing of the winners was excel
lent, and the fact that they were forced
to down some of the oldest and most ex-
perienced players of the club in order to
have a place in the final event yesterday
gives promise of their developing into ten
mis- players of high class.
Lieut.. Rockwell won the mems handi-
cap singles, and played a strong game.
His partner, Finley. however, was some
what erratic. but at times played bril-
liantly.
The mixed doubles, the only event not
finished in the tournament, is TO be played
