Charles Fern, of Cedarville, who

Sunday night in Bridgeton Hospit-

fering from two bullet wounds,
and finally admitted that he had
shot himself the day before. He
had undergone three operations
during the past year, and it is
thought the state of his health
preyed upon his mind. Little is
known about him, and some doubt
ed whether Fern was his real
name: He had declared that he
came of good family, but was
the black sheep and would tell
nothing more. Six hundred dol
