dying gaze might be fixed on the
waters of the Potomac, Joseph A.
Berkenmayer, former policeman,
shot himself in the mouth with a
revolver yesterday afternoon, dying
instantly.

about eight years ago for attempt
ing suicide.
The bullet penetrated the roof Of
his mouth and plowed through the
brain, lodging against the top Of
the skull. The mans head fell for
ward on his chest as the smoking
weapon fell from his hand to the
ground. He sank lower in the
notch between two limbs and died.
HIDDEN IN BRANCHES.
