eighteen Conover members of the
committee, recommending that the

MEYERS SUICIDE
THROUGH FEAR
Of INSANITY
Former Atlanta Telephone Man Is
Found Dead in St. Louis Hotel.
Health Was Broken.

ST. LOUIS, July 12.-Dr. Heine
Marks, uncle of Charles L. Meyers, Of
Nashville, Tenn, who shot and killed
himself at the Planters Hotel Friday
said to-day that in his opinion his
nephew's suicide was due to a fear
of insanity, brought about by over
work
Meyers suffered a nervous break
down six months ago and had to quit
work He was general contractor for
the Cumberland Telephone Company
A few days ago Meyers told his
bride of three months that If he be-
came convinced that he would go in
sane he would kill himself. A close
guard was kept over him, but he
eluded it. Funeral arrangements will
follow the inquest to-day. His wife
was Miss Pearl Goldstein, of Nash
vile.
Mr. Meyers. who was a special
agent for the Southern Bell Telephone
Company. was regarded as an effl-
cient employee. Formerly he lived in
Nashville, where he was connected
with the Cumberland, and retained
his position when that concern was
taken over by the Southern. Sew
eral months ago he was transferred
to Atlanta, but worked here but a few
weeks when his health failed and he
took a vacation.
Mr.. Meyers and his bride arrived
in St. Louis Thursday TO visit his
brother.
