TRACTION CONDUCTOR
ROBERT STEWART is
SUICIDE WITH ACID
Falls Dead along a Bank of
Elk Creek Near Hay
mond Heights.
CAUSE is UNKNOWN.
Acts Queerly and is Off
Duty on Broad Oaks
Line a Few Days.


z Robert Stewart a Broad oaks stree,
car conductor, committed suicide d,
40 o'clock Wednesday morning ON the
Elk creek bank near Haynond
Heights by swallowing large quanti-
~ Of canboiIc acid.
The man was seen by a colorcd fell
iow TO fan and the latter gave the
alarm, Two physicians hurried TO the
scene to dlnd Stewart dead. At first
9 woman named Goldie Costello re-
ported that she had seen the negro
strieke Stewart with rock but there
were. no evidences of that. -
The doctors found Stewart living on
his face. They turned him over to ex-
anime his heart and found his mouth
and throat badly burned. carbollc
acid odor was detected and the burns
indicated that 1t had been used. In a
search a bottle cork was found about
100 feet from the body, but no bottle
could be found. 1t is supposed that
after swallowing the acid. Stewart
threw the bottle into the creek.
Death must have come within two or
threS minutes after he swallowed the
acid.
DR.. S. M; Mason, coroner, was called
and he began an investigation into
the death Of Mr.. Stewart. The coro-
ner states that there seems to he no
question about how he came to his
death at his own hand. But as his
watch was missing, he is undertaking
to ascertain where 1t went and wheth-
er the colored fellow, whose name is
unknown. stole 1t after Stewart fell.
Money to the amount of $11 was
found in Stewards clothes, practically
all he was known to have had in his
possession. Coroner Mason is also
trying to learn where the carbolic acid
was purchased. It is possible that
he may empanel a jury in the case.
For several days Mr.. Stewart had
been Off duty and had just returned
from a visit to his parents at over
field. Tuesday morning at 5 o'clock
he left his home at stop, No. II, at
Broad Oaks, presumably to go to work
but he did not report for duty and he
was seen wandering in the eastern sec
ton Of the city, although no one sus-
peeted that he had any intention of
ending his life.
For year or more he had been in
bad health, threatened he believed,
with consumption. and this appears to
have proved on his mind and doubt
less led up to his act Of suicide.
Mr.. stewart was 40 years old. He
was son of Mr.. and Mrs. Edward
Stewart, of overheld, and married.

ticular house. 80 that he could be relieved
of his duties. Some time after noon OF
the following day | began an inquiry Tor
the Columbia student. No one had seen
MIN around the Office and began TO won
der IL he had deserted me. Then IL dashed
on my mind To send some one up TO the
house which the new shadow had been
ordered to watch. and sure enough there
he stood watching diligently for the man
he expected 10 see enter the building. The
young fellow had stood patiently watch
ing the house for twenty-six hours with
out any sleep during the night and with
very little TO cat once when newsboy
passed. he told him 10 get some sand
wi"hes aud water at a nearly restaurant.
He could not leave his position for mo-
ment because If he did, the suspec'
might have come ana gone. and the
