c. Y. Moore Dead.
Cuts His Throat At Schrie-
yer, La.
Suffering From Carbuncles,
Desperate Man Commits
Suicide.

The many friends in this town and
parish were deeply grieved to hear on
last Sunday that Charles V. Moore,
had ended his own life by cutting his
throat with razor Mr.. Moore was in
Thibodaux on Friday of last week
attending TO business matters, anu
seemed to be IN the best of spirits.
We take from Mondays Times
Democrat the following account of the
unfortunate affair.
Worn out bodily and mentally, G.
V. Moore, president of the Louisiana
Sugar Planters Association, and
manager of the Waubin and St.
George Plantations, owned by the
John L. Moore Company, Limited,
killed himself here this morning. His
brother-lu-law Thomas Roger sugar
| planter of Lafourche parish, in a
glass saw the frantic man draw a raz
or from bureau drawer and slash
himself across the throat and face,
but was too late to prevent the deed.
For several weeks Mr.. Moore has
been suffering from succession of
painful carbuncle, and his physician,
Dr. Stark Of Thibodaux, has been 10
almost daily attendance, but had been
unable to do much more than ease the
pain the sugar planter was suffering.
Saturday night DR.. Stark called at the
Moore home here and found that an
other carhuucle had developed over
Mr.. Moo'e's eye, and was causing the
patient intense agony! Nothing could
lie done to lessen the suffering, and
the medical man left the house, after
warming Mrs Moore and Mr. Roger
it would be we'll to watch Mr.
Moore carefully during the night as
the pain might temporarily derange
his mind.
i In addition to the pain of the car
buncles, Mr.. Moore of late has been
much overworked. He has been wind
ing up the sugar season, and his many
interests called for almost constant at
lention. This and the fact that he
was too worried about purely bust
n.ss problems added to the
pain of the carbuncies is believed 10
have brought about temporary ,nsan-
ltv, the cause of the suicide.
i Was Watched By Family.
i With Mr.. Roger, Mrs, Moore watch
ed over her husband carefully, pur
suant TO the doctors orders. Mr.
Moore passed bad night. The pain
of the uarbuuce increased, and he
was unable to sleep. Toward morn
ing he ls reported to have improved
slightly AMI is said to have dropped
off into doze Shortly before 9 o'clok
Mrs. Moore left hun for few NOM
ents to 60 out on the gallery. Mr..
Roger was in charge. While Mrs.
,, Moore was away the telephone bell
ung, and Sir. Roger answered.
Near the phone there hangs large
mirror, in such position that it re-
aected the interior of the bedroom
where Mr. Moore was lying. As he
picked up the receiver Mr.. Roger saw
his brolher-iD-.aw leave the bed draw
a razor from a drawer 10 his bureau
and with single slash, cut his throa
and juguiar vein. He dropped, dying
to the floor, and when Mr. Roge'
reached his side, couple of seconds
