WRITES LETTER
To HOME THAT HF
KILLED HIMSELF

my name is George Bayer. My
mother is Mrs. Ben Peterson, OF zoo
Gordon street, Perth Amboy, N. j..
Please write and tell her that her
son killed himself. Tell her that l
am sorry that I ran away from
back again. George Bayer, 206 Cor
don street, Perth Amboy, N. j.
The above was the contents of
communication couched on a crum-
pied piece of paper which was found
between two rocks at Pelham Park
way, near Rye, New York, and turn
ed over to the police of New York
city. 1t was shown to Mrs. Peterson
this morning and the mother was
overcome with grief. She nearly
tainted in the presence Of Patrolman
Bachmann, who showed her the
note.
1t is the belief Of the New York
police that young Bayer committed
suicide, probably by drowning him
self in the East river. Mrs. Peter
son, his mother, fears that this may
be So The New York police are
trying to trace the young man, who
left the note that was found Au-
gust 10. When 1t was written could
not be ascertained, but the words
were still distinctly visible, and the
legible pencil marks are not believ-
ed to have been on the paper many
days.
Mrs. Peterson declared this morn
ing that her son had left her home
suddenly August 3. He packed up
his things during the night and left
without the knowledge of anyone in
the household. 1t seems that he
and his stepfather, Bent Peterson,
had had several alterations, and
neither was fond of the company of
the other. Young Bayer had run
away many times, but had always
come back. until this last escapade.
Young Bayer is only twenty years
old and had no special trade, work
ing wherever he could get employ
ment. He was out of work and this
seemed to aggravate the malice exist

self. He decided to leave home and
try to make his own way. Evidently
he could find no work and became

furnished for the construction some
time ago. His bid was $33, ,679. Mr..
Schrimpf stated this morning that he
was in position to begin work Mon
day, on signing the contract with
the freeholders.
The freeholders have delayed the
signing of the contract because 1t
was the opinion of the county solic-
itor that the contract could not be
legally awarded until the bonds had
been disposed Of to furnish money to
pay for the work. However, they rX-
pect to overcome this objection, and
sign the contract, II there is any pos
able way to do so, in an effort to get
the work started Immediately and
before the actual sale Of the bonds.

In an effort to expedite action in
the erection of the Convery place
bridge, the Board of Freeholders are
trying to arrange for the beginning
of work on the structure before the

that the bond market is at present
considered unpropitious for their Cis-
Eosal.
