DOUBTS SUICIDE THEORY
BROTHER, HERE,
Thinks Victim Fell From Hotel
Window or Else Met
Foul Play

W. P. Felker Of Macon, brother of
Charles w. Felket, Jr.. the young man
who is believed to have leaped from the
third floor fire escape of the Wilson no.
tel. corner Walton and Broad streets, 20
the Broad street sidewalk late Sunday
night with suicidal intent, and who later
died at the Grady hospital, refused to
accept the theory Monday that the dead
man wanted TO end his life.
Mr.. Felker stated that he believed his
brother might have fallen out the win
dow or been a victim of foul play. and
that committing suicide would be the
last thing in the world he would do.
He added that there was absolutely no
reason why his brother would attempt
to kill himself.
Physicians at the Grady hospital told
Mr.. Felker that the dead man had de-
clared on the operating table that he
had tried to kill himself and that if ha
didn't die he would later complete the
job
Internes at the hospital also stated
that Felker told them he had swallowed
a dose of arsenic earlier in the evening.
City detectives began an investigation
of the case early Monday morning and
are now making an effort to learn some
thing of the motive for the suicide, if
such was really the case
Charles w. Felker. Jr., was a member
of one of Georgias most prominent
families.
Feler gave no reason for his act. nor
could his employer, nor the family
where he boarded, the nome of T. l..
Simmons, No. 8 Greenwood avenue.
He was one of the finest chaps /
ever knew" said Horace Holleman, of

firm for which Fielder travelled. He was
not in any financial difficulties that l
know of, he never had a love affair,
never went with any girls. I've known
him four years and l can't understand
why he should kill himself"
Felker was the son of c. w. Felker,
of Monroe. Ga He had lived in At
lanta about four years. During that
time he had risen to a responsible po-
sition with the Southern Mortgage com
pany. He left here ten days ago. it
was stated, on his usual salesman's trip
and was supposed to be in Montgom-
cry, Ala, Sunday.
Instead however, he came to Allan
ia. arriving at his home on Greenwood
avenue at noon. Mr.. T. l.. Simmons,
who lives there, said Felker left the
house early in the afternoon.
He registered at the Wilson hotel
about $50 o'clock as &C. Walton, OF Jer-
sey." Instead of going to his room, said
the clerk, H. w. Caldwell, he went out
and stayed about thirty minutes. Dur
ing that time. employees of the Spider
Taxicab agency, next door, said he tried
to borrow a pistol from them. Cald-
we'll said that Felker also tried to bor-
row a pistol from him when he re-
turned.
shortly after 10 o'clock. Mr.. Caldwell
was informed that a man had leaped
from the third floor window on the
Broad street side. Felker was found
unconscious in the street. His head was
partially crushed and his left leg was
