Ill HEALTH ONLY CLEW
TO SUICIDE MOTIVE
Brother Fails to Throw New
Light for Suicide of George
Rose at Local Hotel.

Dependency resulting from i'll
health is the only reason to be ad-
vanced by Charles Rose OF Chicago
for the suicide Saturday afternoon of
his brother, George Rose, 90 years cid.
Rose slashed the arteries of both
wrists with a safety razor blade after
he had inflicted numerous other cuts
about his body TO make certain his
death from the wounds.
He was found in his room in the
Robertson flats by Lewis G. LandOn,
proprietor Of the Michigan St drug
store in which Rose had for the past
few days been demonstrating a safety
razor blade sharpening machine.
Charles Rose arrived in the city
Monday morning. An interview with
Coroner Swantz failed to throw any
other light upon the case than details
already in the hands of the coroner
and the police department.
At noon Sunday Lewis c. Landon
went to the Robertson hotel TO in
quire for George Rose, who had been
working at the LandOn drug store for
the past 10 days as a demonstration,
and who disappeared about 2 o'clock
Saturday afternoon.
When the door of Roses room was
broken open he was found lying upon
the blood soaked bed. He had slashed
the arteries Of both wrists, stabbed
himself in the chest several times and
on his neck were half a dozen gashes
A note was found folded on the
taOle beside a sealed envelope. The
letter was addressed to Charles Rose,
Attorney, 1872 Harris Trust building,
Chicago. Instructions in the note
were that Mr. LandOn should care
for his personal property and that it
should be turned over to his brother
Charles.
Says Life is a Burden.
Life is a burden and ] can't stand
it any longer" added Rose in the
note.
Coroner T. ]. Swartz. who was
called to the Robertson hotel inn
mediately after the dead man was
found, said that he believed Rose
killed himself sometime Saturday aft
ernoon. A pocket knife and a safety
razor blade had been used by Rose
in inflicting the wounds upon him.
self.
Arteries in both wrists were severed
and there were half a dozen cuts and
gashes on the wrists where Rose had
hacked himself with the knife. on
his neck there were a number of
slight gashes and the pocket knife
blade had been driven into his breast.
