Mentally deranged as a consequence OF
religious study. Charles Ceas. forty-one
years old, an employe at the Government
Printing Office. shot himself through the
heart Yesterday afternoon, dying in
stantly.
He was sitting in a chair in his room
at 65S Twelfth street northeast when he
ended his life.
Harry +. Riley with whom Ceas had
boarded for more than a year discovered
the body about 3:20 o'clock. Riley ex-
amined the body and a glance showed
Ceas was beyond human assistance. Po-
lice Of the Ninth precinct made an in
vestigation, after which Coroner hewitt
issued a certificate of death by suicide.

Ceas had been employed at the Govern
ment Printing ONCE for about eight
years. He was unmarried About year
ago he engaged a room at the Riley
house. Ceas never inumated a desire TO
end his life. so far as has been learned.
1t was known Ceas devoted most OF his
leisure time 10 the study OF religion.
He frequently talked on the subject. His
one fallaey seemed 10 be a desire TO ar
que on perplexlng questions concerning
various forms Of worship.

friends feared he would grow insane II

OF insanity. II is probable he was in
such frame OF mind when he arose
yesterday afternoon. He dressed in
preparation for supper, as he was due 20

What transpired in the room where
Ceas committed suicide viii never be
known. He wrote no notes IN expana-
ton OF his act No one heard the re-
port Of the revolver. Riley went 10 the
room 10 arouse Ceas. A knock at the
door brought no response. Riley unlocked
the door and entered. Ceas sat in a
chair I'm the center of the room. He
was partially dressed. On the floor be-
meath the chair was .3S-caIiber revol-
Yer. The drawer where Ceas had kept
