others that every afternoon dDOuI
 o'clock he took a dose of morphine. ! His letters also arranged for the
 discharge of several debts, among
 them a bill of SIS at Lovett's drug
 store. He owed Dr. Mahoney s52.
 money which he had borrowed, and a
 day or two before he had given the
 doctor an order on his father, Judge
 Andrews, of MurphysborO.
 1 Another letter found pinned on the breast of the dead man was addressed | to Mrs. Fred Warren, with whom he had boarded most of the time since i arriving in the city.
 The last man with whom Andrews talked was his friend, w. B. Baker. i In the evening they walked out West ! Washington street past the residence of Dr. MahOney, where the young lady ! to whom Andrews had paid attention l lodged Andrews entered the house on a business matter with the doctor. Soon after that they returned to town and went to Lovett's drug store, where Andrews wrote one of his letters Baker made several suggestions as to the spending of the rest of the even ing, but Andrews pleaded a want of time, saying that he had to see sev- eral people. They separated about 9 o'clock.
 The following statement by MT. Baker throws more light on the case than comes from any other source: T have known Andrews for the past year, and have been his close friend. l got a note from him in which he spoke of the funeral ar engagements and private matters. He separated from his wife in Denver some time ago, and this preyed on his mind.
 Andrews used patent medicines to a great extent and was more 'or less what might be known as a dope fiend. Two weeks ago last Wednesday he was drunk and was arrested. Out side of that. to my positive knowl- edge, he did not drnk any liquor, eX- cept two glasses last September He was not a drinking man, and when he was arrested he was drunk from dope more than anything else.
 Andrews got on this drunk be- cause of a quarrel with a young lady. They had a quarrel and it started him off Following that she told him she would have no more to do with him, and this I believe was one of the principal causes of his suicide, to- gether with other things.
 T know that he did not touch a drop of liquor for two weeks before his death I was with him most of the time, and I could have easily told if he was drinking. I know this to be a positive fact, and I say it be- if ha oh p was a drunkard and ran after women. 1
 For the past two days Andrews l and I were much together, he riding | around with me on a delivery wagon | of the Salt River Bottling Works l When we returned from our drive at 80 D. m yesterday l told him | had to go to the bank. and to meet | me at the ,Lovett drug store corner at 6:30.
 Andrews was on hand and we went to Gass Bros chop house for dinner. He refused to eat anything | but a piece of watermelon. We then walked to the capitol building, and | got there about 7:30 o'clock.
 "On the way we met the young | lady, riding with young man in an auto Andrews turned to me and | said that if this had happened three weeks before he would still be at work at his desk in the capitol build ing, meaning that he would not have quarreled with her, got drunk and | later lost his job at the surveyor | generals office.
 As we came back We went into Dr. Mahoney's residence I wanted | to keep him away. fearing that the | young lady might return, and she did. | He came out. and all the time after ward was nervous. l think that right | then he made up his mind to com | init suicide. He told the young lady, | however, that he was going to Reno, | Nev., in the morning.
 1.-TWO weeks ago last Sunday while | I was in his room, Andrews suddenly | remarked to me that he had come | near killing himself, and showed me | his revolver. I took it away from him. I gave it back to him yester | day afternoon at 5:30 o'clock, just | after We came back from the drive | At that time he seemed in the best | of spirits, and I thought everything | was all right He wanted the gun to take with him to Reno.
 My honest opinion is that Andrews | committed suicide as the result of a | of circumstances, includ- | ing his trouble with his wife in Den yer, his getting drunk and being | placed in jail, his quarrel with the | young lady, his loss of his job. and | the sudden meeting with the young | lady while we walked out to the capl-
