clerk TO Mr.. Watt.
Mr.. Watt termed the amount
a mere pittance and suggested
that a number Of Mr.. Bondies'
friends would be glad to obliQe
him on the security that he had
TO offer.
WENT TO THEATER
After leaving his employer,
Bondies purchased a half ounce
phial Of morphine. With the
phial in his pocket, he attended
a local theater. After the per-
Torrance he fastened to his
home at 1901 Hemphill street.
1t was 8 O'Clock Tuesday
morning when Mrs. Bondies,
who was sleeping in a rear room,
heard the stihed breathing and
short coughs of the stricken
man. She entered the room
and one startled glance at the
note on the table apprised her Of
the nature of the tragedy that
had come into her life.
DR.. j. NJ. Furman was sum-
moned, but all attempts to re-
store respiration were unsuccess-
full. He said that the COM
bined elements Of the morphine
and liquor had formed an abb
sorbent poison, which had en-
tered the system too rapidly for
any antidote TO counterfeit it's
effects.
Mr.. Bondies was ~ years old.
He was born and raised at Gal
weston. The deceased was a
grand son Of Captain George
Bondies a former naval captain
in the German navy. Another
grandfather was DR.. Carey
Crane, who for twenty-five
years was president<of Baylor
University.
