SUICIDE OF MR. J. CAVE WHITTLE. Early on Wednesday morning a lamplighter going his rounds found at the corner of the Waterloo Dock, Liverpool, a man's coat, hat, and a pair of boots. He also discovered a piece of paper on which was written "Starving. God bless my child and mother. None better ever lived.--C." At two o'clock in the morning a police officer was informed of the matter, but after carefully searching the dock could find no further trace of anybody. There was a strong tide running at the time, and it is supposed that the owner of the clothes had jumped into the river off the pierhead. Subsequently the clothes were identified by Mrs. Cave as those of her husband; William Cave. He was a mining engineer, lodging for the past five weeks at 69, Elizabeth-st.
