MAN TAKES CARBOLIC
AND DIES In MALPIN
Illness Causes Suicide OF
Thomas D. Waterbury, Re-
tired Manufacturer.
LEAVES HOME ADDRESS
Wife Thought He Had Gone to
Dine With His Friends at
Manhattan Beach.

Thomas D. Waterbury of "a Monroe
place. Brooklyn, a retired manufactures
of dental goods, who for the last three
years has been under medical care for
a nervous ailment, committed suicide
yesterday at the Hotel McAlpin by
drinking carbolic acid. Except the mat
ter of his health, about which he wor-
ried constantly, Mr.. Waterbury had no
cares as far as has been learned. From
the circumstances of his death 1t seems
clear that he contemplated taking his
life for a day at least before he killed
himself.
His suicide was discovered six hours
after he registered at the hotel. He ar
rived there at o'clock in the morning
without baggage, and after being as
signed room told the clerk that ne
wished to be called at In the after
noon. but did not want to be disturbed
before then. After he had gone to his
room nothing further was heard from
him. When he did not answer on being
called at 2 o'clock his room was entered
and he was found dead on the bed.
On the bedside table he had left his
number and the name of his physician
DR.. NJ T. Lewis of 404 Fifty-fifth street
Brooklyn, and an empty four ounce
phial which had contained carbolic acid
DIR. Benjamin Schwarz, medical exam
iner, confirmed the evidence afforded by
the bottle before giving permission foI
the removal of the body.
When word of his death was conveyed
TO his wife she was at first incapable ol
believing 1t, as she said, because wher
ne left home he had seemed in better
spirits than he had been in weeks. She
told DR.. Schwarz that he had left home
on Friday late in the afternoon, saying
that he was going to Manhattan Beacf
to dine with some friends and probably
would remain there for the night. Sh'
did not know last night whether HI
had gone to the beach as he said h'
would.
DR.. Lewis said after Mr.. Waterbury,
death was reported to him from thu
hotel that he had treated him for ner
vousness for three years following :
complete nervous breakdown. His pa
tient, he said had taken a trip arount
the world in an attempt to shake of hi
ailnent, but had benefited little from II
DR.. Lewis was certain that he took hi
life while in a state Of despondency
brought on by worrying about hi
health.
Besides his wife, Mr.. Waterbur,
leaves two adopted sons. He was fol
twenty years an active member OF thu
Waterbury Dental Company Of Ala Full
ton street, Brooklyn. but retired from
business thresyears ago. His wife sait
last night that his money affairs were
ir comfortable order and that the stat
of his health was the only concern tha
preyed on his mind. He was 55 year!
old and was born at Fon du Lac. Wis
