throng of business people, on their
way to work. quickly gathered

son. His office was in room 919, Of
the Healey building.
To all appearances Mr.. Heath de-
liberately planned his death. There
were six separate notes on his desk
His derby hat, watch, tstickpfn and
few notebooks were Carefully as
sembled and laid aside.
None of the notes was sealed or
addressed. Lying open on the desk,
several of them had no salutation

Mrs. Heath was completely pros
trated when she learned OF the
tragedy, as was also the son, Tyre.

According to several relatives who
reside at the home of Mr. Heath,
he has been in i'll health for some
time, in fact in too weakened a condi-
ton to undergo an operation which
his physician said was necessary.
Members of the family attribute his
self-destruction to nervous derange-
ment
He was of a representative ma
ture," said Mr.. Heath's niece, who
lives at the home, "and took many
things to heart and brooded over
them which other men would not
have noticed"
Friend Had Presentment
L. P. Whitfield. close friend of
the dead man, whose office adjoins
that of Mr.. Heath. said Saturday
morning that he had presentment
of the coming tragedy.
For Several weeks" said Mr..
Whitfield. II have noticed that he
has been in low spirits. This morn

him how he was feeling. He said, i

mighty bad That was at 1899

his window go up. I went to the
window and saw his body lying on
the street. and hundreds of people
running toward him."
According to o. H. Doster, a bar
Der in the Healy building, who has
known Mr.. Heath for "a number of
years, the dead man has been on
the point of suicide at least on two
occasions prior to Saturday morn

wife, telling her good-by, and Of his

Members of Mr. Heath's family
said that he has talked of suicide
before, but they never paid any at

nervous condition.

center of Belfast last night caused a
panic among the crowds promenad-

Saturday night and early Sunday, in
which one policeman was killed and
two others were wounded, followed
by the assassination of three civil
ians in reprisal by parties of masked
men.
The opening incident of Sunday

DENSMORE
CROSSED LINE
Made the Only Touchdown
in Game at Montpe-
lier Seminary
A NORWICH TEAM
WON GAME, 6 TO 0
Seminary Team Seemed to
Lack the Pep Needed
to Be Successful

The Montpelier seminary football
team suffered defeat Monday afternoon
on the local campus at the hands of
Norwich university team by a score of
9 to 0. Densmore, a former Spaulding
high school player, carried the pig
skin over the line for Norwich in the
early part of the first period and after
that the teams were unable to score,
although Montpelier was in a serious
condition several times. Norwich hav-
ing received the bali they continued
down the field with it until Densmore
made a nice end run landing the ball
across the line. During the rest Of
the period neither team accomplished
much, each fuEabling and being penal
lied for their form of playing.
The period ended with Montpelier
in possession of the ball but shortly
after the second period commenced the
team was forced to punt. Norwich o
lost the ball again and Montpelier COM
menced rushing it. Gould made 20
yards on a forward pass. The ball
changed hands again but the period
ended with it in Montpelier possession.
In the third period more penalizinc
occurred, and the bah changed hands
frequently in this period. In the fourth
period Lombard got away with a long
run; a pass gave 10 more yards and
the ball was carried to within five
yards of the goal line and then Cere-
sofia, instead of taking advantage of a
chance to go around end for a touch
down, hammered the line and Norwich
took the ball away from him. This
same thing occurred again during the
game. Coach Blanchard has worked
hard with his team, but they do not
seem to show the pep. He needs a
quarterback. He has a heavy line but
they seem to lack football fight. They
have plenty of the other kind. His
back field was weakened Monday be
cause he had TO use Lombard on end.

should be one Of the best seen here
