Suicide Was Known
 to Tombstone People

After endeavoring by threats and
 entreaties to persuade his wife to open
 the door Of his private apartmen. that , he might murder her, Prof. William Rosskopi, who filled a weeks engage | ment at Schieffelin hall during the fall of 1908, committed suicide in Los Angeles Sunday morning. The Rosskopis are we'll remembered here, having given performances in which Miss Rankin, Tombstole girl, was kept in A hypnotic sleep for A hours.
 After leaving Arizona. Rosakopt went to the coast. He lost most Of his com- psny and lived by giving exhibitions in various towns. He spent last sumiDer at Ocean Park.
 Rosskopf had been having quarrels with his wife for several weeks, according to the state ment of au employee at the house where he shielded.
 Early Sunday morning he arose and taking his pistol stepped to the door oi his wife's room and tried to open it. It was locked. Rosskopf knrcked gently and asked his wife to let him in. This she refused to do, remem. bering the narrow escape from death few dsys before when Rosskopf had fired a shot at her.
 "I will give you three in which to open that door," said the enraged man from the other side.
 Mrs. Rosskof waited while her husband dramatically counted the number. "One, two. threel" came the voice through the psnels, the lsst number being muttered in a voice of suppressed horror. There was pause Then came :hc .epc.. oi the pistol and the sound of his body as it fell to the floor in h;s death agony.
 Mrs. Rosskopi rushed in to find her 1 husband gaspipg for breath. The gun had fallen from his hand and was on the floor beside him. A small stain on his shirt, over his heart, was a testimonial of the last act of the tragedy.
