Actor is a Suicide.

Oklahoma City, Okla, Jan. 2S.-
iday afternoon, Clarence E. Dunn
aged 80 years. an actor, lately from
Cincinnati, took his own life by
swallowing a part of a bottle of cy-
anide of potassium at 4 40 O'Clock.
The suicide took place in the ele-
vator of the India Tempe building
few minutes after Dunn had been
arrested by Officers Lucas and Nor
ris on a complaint of Leslie Orear
of the Southwestern Publicity bu-
reau, charging him with forgery.
AS Dunn entered the elevator he
remarked to the elevator boy: I'm
going to take a trip to HI shortly. "
Almost a second later he reached
into a bottle, secured a phial and
pressed 1t to his lips. The act was
so sudden the officers had no time
time to Illustrate him and the deadly
poison had done its work.
