CARDS
WHILE C0MRADE
LAY IN HIS GORE

Weak and Respondent as the re-
suit of long siege of sickness.
Steve Susa. an Austrian laborer
about 80 years age, shot himself in
the head yesterday afternoon, death
coming almost instantly.
Susa resided in a house in the
alleyway north of Riverside ave-
nue., between Browne and Division.
About so other Austrians live in the
same house. Susa was lying in bed
when he took his life. The coroner
took charge of the body.
The dead mans brother was pres
ent in the room when Susa killed
himself, and he wept bitterly for a
long time over the fate of the sui
eide. The passing of Susa did not
excite the other Austrians present
who are more or less accustomed to
death by violence among their COM
rades.
They continued to play cards in
the dining room of the house while
the officers held charge of the room
in which the dead man lay, with
his life's blood reddening the floor.
