here last night in custody of Postoffice
Inspector Frank y. Reilly and Deputy

The alleged theft occurred a short
time before the postofice was destroyed
by fire two weeks ago. Inspectors claim
that Dandrow stole two registered let

$50 and the other $77. While author

SOUTH LONDONDERRY, Jan. 80.
Despondent because of illness since
boyhood, Clifford L. Davis, 81, of Lon
donderry committed suicide yesterday
afternoon by shooting himself in the head
with his shotgun. The muzzle of the gun
was placed against his forehead, and the
charge blew off near the whole upper
part of the head
The tragedy took place in the kitchen
at the home of o. S Osborne in London
derry village, where Davis boarded, prob
ably about o'clock With the exception
of Mr.. Osborne all the family were
away, and they found the body when they
returned home about 4.30 O'clock.
Mr. Osborne. who is over so years old
and a Civil war veteran, is totally blind
and very deaf. thought he heard sound
half an hour or so before the family re-
turned. but he did not know what it was
and gave it no special thought. The
sound probably was that made by the dis
charge of the shotgun.
Davis. who was a son of the late
Leroy G. Davis, had been in i'll health
since boyhood. when by accident he drank
a solution of lye. The solution ate away
the lining of his stomach, and ever since
then he had lived on liquid food, being
unable to eat solid food.
His WIFE, who was Miss Grace Fuller,
daughter of Philo Fuller of Weston, COM
mitted suicide in December, 1917, by
shooting with revolver on account of
property matters. They lived then on
farm in Londonderry which was owned
by her father. Since then he had done
various kinds of work as far as his health
permitted. He was a nephew of Frank
f. Davis of Newfane
Davis leaves one daughter. who lives
with her grandparents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Fuller, in Weston. and three brothers,
George L. Davis of South Londonderry,
Irving Davis of Weston Island and Bert
Davis of Newport, y. II.
