WAS JOHN poNNELLEX.
oided Thursday Was North scituate Umbrella Mender.

It seemed quite definitely establish
 ed Friday that the man who committed
 suicide here Thursday morning by
 drinking carbolic acid was John Don
 noiley, an umbrella mender of North
 Scituate. R. l. Local people who view
 ed the body feel positive that the dead
 man is Donnolley and at North Scit-
 uate, where inquiry was made. 1t was
 learned that a man answering a de-
 scription of the one who committed
 suicide here had been a resident In
 that section.
 Undertaken L. E. Smith, who has
 the body in charge. was in communi-
 cation Friday by telephone with Su- perintendent Bartlett of the mill at North Scituate, and learned that a.
 John Donnelley had lived there. MT. Smith was seeking to get in touch with relatives of the dead man, but as fab as he could learn only half brother of Donnelley Is resident in that place The dead man certainly came from that section, for 1t was established Friday that he boarded a Rhode Island system car. bound for Danielson, at Foster early Thursday morning and had left the car at Hmville. where the line makes a junction with the one coming to Putnam. From Eimville, Conductor Comins of the car on which Donnelley came to this city was able | to furnish an account of the mans | doings while en route to Putnam. | Some who viewed the body Friday claim that Donnelley, if such be his name, is the same who appeared at the Day KimbaI hospital here one day last | winter and asked that he be treated for | frozen feet At that time he gave his | name as Crowley or Rowley. It was | found that his feet were not frozen and | he left the institution.
 | The belief that Donnelley is thel | mans name Is strengthened by .thee | fact that this is the name Attorney | Howard c. Bradford is most certainl the fellow gave to him when he tn- | quired about the matter while the sui | eide was wandering about the hallway l of the Central block few minutes be- l fore he collapsed from the effects of f the poison he had taken
 The body remained at the undertak- | ing rooms here during Friday while an II effort to reach relatives of the dead man was being made f Circumstances surrounding the case 1 indicate that the man had thought over | the suicide proposition for some time | and took all precautions to make cer- tain of a successful effort to take his own life. He could have told Attor- ney Bradford that he had taken acid l almost immediately after swallowing J the fatal dose, but did not do so. and made no remark about the matter un- til he heard the lawyer say a physl- | elan must be summoned. then he said
 Tt is too late"
 Persons who feel ceratin that the
 dead man is Donnelley say he was an i umbrella rnender who occasionally visited this city on his tours through
 the surrounding country and that he
 was sometimes given to reckless ways
 of life and living.
