JAMESBURG, March 13-Shooting
himself with a revolver in the right
temple, George ConJey, a resident of
Sprin gfeld, n. j., committed suicide
yesterday afternoon, while making a
short visit at the home of his brother,
John Conley, of Monmouth Junction.
Conley had recently returned to his
home after a tour of the southern
states for his health, as he was suffer-
ing severely from influenza. When he
arrived home he felt no better and
decided to spend a few days with his
brother. 1t vas noticed by the resi-
dents of Monmouth Junction that he
acted in a queer manne at times and
they thought that the influenza had
affected his mind.
In about the middle of the after
noon yesterday Conley told his broth
er that he was going for a short walk.
A few minutes later a shot was heard
and he was found dead, in a small
grove a short distance from the house.
He had a revolver in his hand and
had shot himself in the right temple.
DR.. Suydam, the county physician,
was called and pronounced the cause
of death suicide. 1t is thought that
the mentality of Conley was slightly
deranged because of continual de-
spondency due to his intense suffer-
ing from the effects of influenza.

caused TO turn her back at just this moment The
confederate picked up tie cloak Durant had thrown
onto the counter and tossed Il through the dummy

rehearsaIs occupied several days--the confederate
had TO be trained TO correctly throw a heavy fur
coat Durant had 70 practice tossing cloak to one

it fell upon the right spot the display counter,
and fell folded so the confederate would lose no
time in picking it up and throwing it in closely

federate had even to be trained TO unlock this win
dow and raise it so stealthy that the other eus-

coached, they selected an hour at which time there
were likely to be just enough customers IN the
real room to keep the salespeOple busy-no so many
that some one Of them would be bound to witness
