DESPERATE MAN

JOSEPH W, Kyle Wearies of

Said to Have Lost Fortune

With these words Joseph w. Kyle
aged rs years, salesman and solicitor
bade farewell 10 Night Clerk Hogen al
the Hotel Albert on West South Temple
street, at 3 O'Clock Friday morning, and
retired 10 mis- room.
These were the last words Kyle spoke
10 any living person. One hour later
Clerk Hogen saw a light In Kyle's room,
knocked at The door, obtained no an,
swcr. forced an entrance. and found
Kyle lying unconscious.
Mr., Bogen notified the police station
and Officers Beckstead and Jcnney re-
spondcd Kyle was dead within few
minutes after their arrival.
Police Surgeon Sprague WAS notified
and pronounced the case one Of suicide
by taking bichloride OF mercury. There
was no evidence OF any struggle, not
even the bedding being disturbed.
KYLE sometimes had complained oi
suffering from fits. but appeared in good
health and spirits when he retired CLERK
llugen is inclined to think that death
niis that no one heard any call for help
on saw any signs of struggle before the
cnd. Doctor Spruguc is satisfied that the
case WAS one OF suicide.
Tho body was taken TO the undertaking
rooms Of O ODonnell & Co. and will remain
there pending communication with rcia-
tivcs of the dead man.
Investigation during the day showed
that Kyle was a member of a once
wealthy New York family, who had re-
ccived his portion of large estate and
lost the money in speculation. He Is
known TO have two sisters. Mrs. Catherine
Ilunier. wife OF a. III. Hunter. cashier of
the First National bank uf Colorado
Springs. Colo, and Miss Mary y. Kyle,
who resides with the Hunter family,
Broke and Idle.
Kyle was employed for several weeks In
the summer by L. #. Harris who con-
ducts an. advertising agency here, but OF
late had been looking for work, He was
indebted 10 the Hotel Albert in the sum
OF $50. but had not been pressed for sot-
tIcmeut. rs he seemed 10 be trying 10
make good. When his personal effects
were examined he had not cent OF cash
and only few letters revealed his FANNY
connections He was known as a quiet,
unassuming man of more than ordinary
education, but seemed to his acquuint-
ances 10 lack the ability to catch on
He drank only moderately, and so far as
known, was not given TO gambling.
