Commits Suicide

Henry B. Towne of Stowe, VT,
who has been living with his daught-
er, Mrs. Wilfred Hoisington of West
Charleston, for the past five months
committed suicide early Sunday
morning July Goth, by slashing his
throat with razor. Mr.. Towne
failing to appear at the usual time
Sunday morning, his daughter went
to his room and to her horror discov-
cred his dead body Tying upon the
bed. The razor with which he end
ed his life was lying upon his should
er.
The body was found about elev-
en- o'clock in the forenoon and it was
thought by the physician that the
deed was done during the night or
early Sunday morning. No reason
for the deed can be given except
that Mr.. Towne had been recently
suffering from melancholia.
After the discovery of the suicide
