dE|ER SUICIDE;
SAIDDESPONDENT.
Friends Attribute Act to Deep
Grief at Absence from Fam
ily and Being Interned

Walter Brandt, paymaster on the
German gInboat Geier, now interneo
in the local harbor. committed suicide
late yesterday by shooting himself
through heNmorth. aIe resolved q let
ter from his wife al KiA, Germany,
yesterday, il is reported, and It is be.
Iieved that depressing news from
abroad was the cause of his violent
death.
Hts friends assign two contributing
causes for his act They say that he
was OF a nervous temperament and
had worried greatly since the gunboat
was interned here He was anxious
for he chafed at being unable to get
in action. It is said also he grieved
deeply at being unable to see his fam
ily.
Sailors aboard the ship told a rep
resentatiye of the Star Bulletin today
that Brandt had been in good spirits
since the ship was interned In this
port until yesterday, He made no
complaint to any Of his shipmates and.
telling a fellow officer that he was
going to sleep, he retired to his quar-.
tiers. Not sound was heard and 1t
was late last night before his body
was found in his stateroom. Asrevol.
yer was clutched in his hand, the bar
rel In his mouth, indicating that he
had shot himself in that manner.
Efforts were made by German Off.
cials In touch with the affair to keep
the news Of the suicide quiet. At the
local consulate nothing would be CIV
en- out indicating the manner of death.
The captain of the Geier was similarly
reticent
Not even officers of the Alert, the
United States submarine tender few
feet away, heard the shot or were
informed of the Geier paymaster's
death. The federal quarantine OFF,.
GERS also received no report OF the
shooting. - 3.
Brandt was 80 years old. He was
born at Kiel, Germany, where his wife
and two children now reside. He was
married In November. 1893, and had
been away from his home for two
years. He entered the German navy
in April. 1900, and Geier officers say
he made good record. s.-g
Sailors on the Geier SAID today that
1t was understood thA the navy de-
partment will be asked for permission
to give Brandt q sea burial. II per-.
mission is given, it is probable that
a small boat will take the paymas-
ter's remains outside the harbor for
burial
