Shuman Commits Suicide.

UNION, Me-, January q. Ardennis
Shuman, the former town treasurer who
three years ago was tried and acquitted
of the charge of embezzling 81, 400 Of the
towns funds, committed suicide today
in his home and jumping into the Georges
river. A civil action brought by the
town of Union to recover 400 was
pending in court. He had held the office
of town treasurer for many years and
was SO well trusted that he was not re-
quired to give bond for the protection
Of the town. His method of bookkeep-
ing was crude and it was due to this, rath-
er than dishonesty, that there was a
shortage in his accounts, as was claimed
at the trial. Mr.. Shuman was black
smith, about IS years old and leaves a
widow. He had been sick week and
when the nurse left the room for few
minutes early today he ran from the
house and jumped into the river.
