WITH REVOLVER
Former Columbia University
Professor, and Well-known
Writer, Was Ill and
Depressed.

.L,rd Conn, March Harry
Peck, formerly a professor at
Hb.. University, and writer of
whose marital troubles and a
Zach of promise suit gained him I'M
teasant notoriety in the last few years,
ended his life to-day in his room in a
cheap lodging house, by shooting himself
through the head with a revolver, He
was found lying across the bed by the
landady. Mrs. Gottleib Menu, who went
to awaken him from his supposed sleep,
to tnswer a telephone call from his Sec
retry, Miss Margaret MacDougall.
n. Peck was seriously i'll at Ithaca,
n Y, about n year ago from a mental
Seakdown, and was thought to he dying.
Ais divorced wife. Mrs. Cornela D. Peck,
3 Christian scientist, attended him and
h ultimately rcgalned his strength His
second wife also was at his bedside and
There seemed to be no friction between
fthe two women.
Until month ago, Or. Peck had
been living at Riverside. near here.
Embarrassed by financial difficulties,
he gave up his home, engaged a room
in a lodging house In Bell street, and
took his meals at small restaurant.
WORRIED OVER LAWSUIT.
He was working on an cncyclopae-
liza for Il New York publishing house.

over a threatened lawsuit and during

in his room much of the time. His
secretary, Miss MacDougall, then left
him. She called him on the telephone
several times to-day to inquire about
his health.

revolver in his room. DR. Peck said
II would do no harm, as it was not

a box Of cartridges, she said
DR.. Peclt's health has been delicate
the last month, and friends feared ne
was about to have a recurrence of the
mental trouble, which he suffered last
year. 1t is believed his financial con-
dition, which forced him to give up
his fine home and live in modest cir
rumstances, touched his pride and
made him depressed in spirit.
The body was taken In charge to-
night by his divorced wife, Mrs Corne-

Constance Peck, teacher in the Hamil-
ton Institute for Girls in New York.
