CAPT. GARDENS SUICIDE
SURPRISE TO HIS FRIENDS
No Known Reason for Late
House Employees
Act.

The suicide OF Capt. A. p. Garden. as
sistant doorkeeper of the House of Rep
resentatives. in his room at ~ Sd street
southeast. Thursday night, surprised a
host of friends about the Capitol, who
believe that his act in cutting his throat
with a razor was the result of de-
spondency.. Several times during recent
weeks, it is stated. he suffered periods
of mental depression, bat none of his
friends suspected that he contemplated
suicide.
Coroner hewitt went to the house in
which the assistant doorkeeper ended his
life. Death undoubtedly had occurred
more than fifteen hours before the body
was found. Mrs. Frederick Shake. pro-
prietress of the house, said she heard a
suspicious noise in Capt. Gardens room
about $3.50 o'clock Thursday night. She
thought at that time that the noise was
made by the overturning Of a chair. but
later she concluded it was made when
the limp form of her roomer fell to the
floor.
When Capt. Garden reached the house
late Thursday afternoon there was moth
ing about his appearance or conduct to
suggest anything wrong with him. He
made a pleasant remark to Mrs. Shake
about the weather. asked her the correct
time and went to his room.
Left Incoherent Letter.
Mrs. Shake noticed that there was a
light in Capt. Gardens room when she
retired and yesterday morning she saw
the light was still burning. Thinking
the captain had fallen asleep and had
neglected to eXtinguish the light, Mrs.
Shake went about her daily tasks and it
was not until about / o'clock that she
summoned neighbor. made an investiga-
ton, and found that the roomer had
Slashed his throat with d razor.
An incoherent letter written by Capt.
Garden was found on the dresser in his
room 1t was addressed to a Capitol en-
pioye and contained the statement that
the writer and another employe at the
Capitol had had some trouble, but friends
say the writing was merely the result Of
imagination. and was due to the unsettled
condition of the despondent mans mind
Capt. Garden had been employed In the
Capitol a number of years and was q
close friend of Representative John w.
Davis of the first West Virginia district,
having been a resident and prominent
democratic politician in Wheeling. Rep
resentative Davis was presiding over the
House of Representatives yesterday aft
ernoon when he learned of his friend 8
death He called Representative Garrett
of Tennessee to the chair and hurried to
the house on I'd street southeast, where
he conferred with Coroner hewitt
