TRIP ENDS
IN FULLERTON'S DEATH

After John Fullerton, a Geneset
printer had lost his job on the Gen
esee News, he took a trip via auto
mobile to Uniontown, just to show he
didn't care. That was the beginning
of the end.
In UniontOwn Fullerton tarried with
the booze-bottle while it was red and
the absinthe bottle while it was green
Then he properly organized himself
into a booze trust, and returned to
Genesee with a dozen bottle of beer
several quarts of whiskey, and large
sized and "conniftable" jag.
This happened during Saturday
night and the wee small hours of Sun
day morning. Later Sunday morning
Fullerton proceeded to tank" again
and also to distribute some of his "joy
water among his friends
Sunday afternoon a rather wild eyed
individual appeared on the scene in
the Grand Central hotel office, and
announced that there was dead man
in his bed.
The. wild eyed one was Frank Car
ter, tramp barber, and "hop-head,"
with whom Fullerton had made
friends.
Coroner McCartor and County At
torney Suppiger were summoned, from
Moscow. When they arrived they
found the dead man in Carriers bed
The dead man was Fullerton. But they
couldn't find Carter Incidently the
dead man had two or three punctures
had finished the work of whiskey and
absinthe by using the light artillery.
Later Carter was discovered in an
other room, asleep in a chair, his long
pipe in his mouth, clad in his under
clothes, and bottle of dope, glass
of water, and hypodermic syringe as
the principle set pieces of the scene.
The district attorney broke down the
door, then he had to administer
dose of the prescription for white
hope-itis, before he could awaken
Carter After Mr. Suppiger had slap
ped him a few times on the jaw Carter
aroused and opened that he had been
asleep.
He didn't know how Fullerton had
secured the dope" and he wasn't
successful in giving the officers any
c1ew
The officials waited until Monday
before holding an inquest. Carter at
that time wasn't to be found.
A diligent search of the hay-mows,
the vacant buildings, and the tie-piles
in the railroad yards was being con-
Quoted when he suddenly appeared.

had again accomplished his disap-
pearing act.
Later County Attorney Suppiger
found the man huddled in the corner
of a vacant building, and he stood
guard until the officer arrived.
Carter again was an unsatisfactory
witness. He couldn't tell a thing.
The officers investigated Fullertons
room. They found two suitcases one
of which had seven quarts of whiskey,
the other was full of beer. In the
drawers of the bureau were empty
whiskey bottles, in the washstand
drawer, and in the stove was beer.
After concluding their probe the cor
Oners jury rendered verdict that
Fullerton had come to his death from
the effects of poisoning by alcohol
and other drugs administered by his
own hand.
The coroner and prosecuting attor
ney returned late last evening from
Genesee, after having concluded their
work.
