Aside from his professional connec-

Dependency, induced by the in
forced abandonment of his work be

motive friends could advance for the
tragic climax of the famous num-

plain his act.
Flowing out OF an open trunk were
several of the grotesque costumes in
which he had delighted his audiences

taken last farewell of the tokens OF
the life he loved and in which he had
found fame and fortune.

nothing left. A few silver coins were
found in the pockets of his clothing.
