PROFESSOR ENDS
HIS LIFE WITH GAS
E. Rudolph Kunberger, an In
valid for Several Months,
Commits Suicide.

e. Rudolph Kunberger at one time
professor of mechanical drawing at Drex-
el Institute and a brother of the chief
chemist of the United Gas Improvement
Company, committed suicide last night
by inhaling illuminating gas at the home
Laughlln, 100 West Rittenhouse street
Germantown. He had been an invalid for
the past six months, following a previous
attempt on his life.
Kunberger was 81 years old and had
been married only two years. His wife
and mother, who left him alone at their
home for short time yesterday after
noon, returned about 6 o'clock for din
ner. When they went to his room to call
him they found him In bed with the COW
ers pulled over his head and gas flow
ing from an open Jet Dr. w. r. Mueller.
Greene and Queen streets, the family
physician, was summoned but said the
man had been dead for some time before
being discovered.
Business reverses and several serious ac-
cdents in which Kunberger figured are be-
lieved to have unsettled his mind. He was
hurt while making an experiment with
chemicals some time ago. The compound
he was mixing exploded and blew out a
portion of the Rittenhouse street house
wall. Later he and his wife narrowly
escaped death when train struck the
automobile in which they were riding on
the outskirts of the city.
kunberger was the son Of Carlo Kun
berger, a retired business man, who re-
sides at 63d street and Overlook ave-
nue. His brother, A. Frederick Kun
berger, resides at 13S North Redfeld
street
