MYSTERIOUS SUICIDE IS THIRD
TRAGEDY IN NAVAL CIR !.
Giles REPORTED

NO MOTIVE IS KNOWN

NEW YORK, August S.~-Lieuten-
ant Charles e. Brilliant. u. $. N,
killed himself at the Hotel Aston to-
day, making the third naval officer
within week 40 be involved in a
tragedy. One other officer has killed
himself, and~another. after leaving a
suicide note, went insane.-
great deal of mystery surrounds
the cause of Lieutenant Brillhart.s
motive for ending his life. which Will
only be cleared away when letter
is received in Washington by his
mother or wife. His last act before
shooting himself was apparently to
write this letter 1t was found lying
sealed on a table addressed to Mrs.
G. Il. Brilliant. The Cairo, Sixteenth
and Q streets. Washington. .. c.
The letter was imm ediately mailed
to Washington, and no one knows Its
contents. The lieutenant left no note
Tor the Navy Department, although
there were Indications in the room
that he may have written other let
ed himself in his room for the last
time.
Marines Sent for Body.
A detachment of marines was i'm
mediately dispatched from the Brook
lyn navy yard to take charge of the
body. Tho body was removed to the
undertaking establishment of Henry
EikelberE, at Eighth avenue and FIJI
ty-fourth street. and a gun carriage
was sent from the navy yard SO the
remains could be transported with fur
naval honors to Brooklyn Immediate
ly after the autopsy this evening.
Lieutenant Brilliant seemingly
made his plans In the ealmest pos
sible manner, and carried them
through in such way as to indi-
cate remarkable GOODNESS even at the
very moment of taking his own life.
He had registered at the Astor on
Tuesday under his proper name and
title He had no baggage, and during
his stay did nothing that indicated
he was In trouble of any kind.
Bullet Through Brain.
This afternoon a maid reported that
the door Of the room was locked on
the inside, and for hours 1t nad p-n
impossible to get any response En-
trance was gained through another
room. and the dead lieutenant was
found sitting in an armchair, hts
crossed feet resting on another chair,
Tho hands were peacefully crossed
and one OF them still gripped a .ss-
calfbre revolver from which he had
sent bullet into his brain.
The bullet entered the right tenn
pie, passed through the skull and was
found lying on the floor. With the
exception OF coat the body was fully
dressed. A Union Trust Company of
Washington pass book showed he had
q small sum of money on deposit
there. chauffeur's license for the
State of Maryland was found with
several bills. He had a small sum OF
money. a gold watch. a diamond
stick pin and two seal rings.
Lieutenant Brilliant graduated
from Annapolis and entered the navy
In October Of 1899. He was born In
Kansas and was appointed to the Ma
val Academy from PENNSYLVANIA.
