HULL DOCTOR'S DEATH.  SUPPOSED SUICIDE- FROM PRUSSIC  -ACID.  The death took pls. on Tuesday efternoon of Dr. Thom. Joseph Redhead, who bees at 305, 'Hod. Road, under painful circumstance., leading Ito the belief that he has committed suicide. It hae been noticed by those intimate with the de. I ceased that of late he hue been very depressed in , apirits, but still no ides wee entertained that he had any intention of taking his life. On Tueeday morning Dr. Redhead visited the Red. Road Gaol to see a patient, and also saw other of his patients in town during the forenoon. Be returned , home to luncheon at about 1-30 p.m., which he I I took along with Dr. Charles Babe., his assistant. The latter last saw the deceased alive at about 13.15 p.m. Mrs. Redhead was only confined last I Saturday, and has had a muse attending upon her, a widow named Alice Rse, who lives at 102, ICrowle Street. When Mrs. Rae went into Mrs. I Redliesd'e bedroom between three and four o'clock on Tuesday afternoon—she do. not re' member the exact time —the deceased was sat at I the foot of his wile's bed. They were chatting pleasantly together at the time. A few minutee afterwards the deceased went downstairs. Mrs. I Rae also went downstairs for the purpose of pre. I paring tea for Mrs. Redhead. In the meantime Ithe doctor had returned upstairs. He went into hi. own bedroom, and not long afterwards was found to be unconscious. The discovery created the greatest alarm in the house. A messenger I was immediately deepatched for Dr. Walker, who arrived at 4-30, only to find that the doctor had breathed his last. Dr. Walker gives his opinion that deceseed had taken a dose of prussic acid. A march woo accordingly made about the housel ' to see if anything could be found to bear out this tragic news. A eearch in the room where I deceased died revealed nothing, but in the surgery, standing on a shelf, a bottle containing , prosaic acid w. found. This has been taken poss.eion of by Sergeant Lambert, and the facts were reported to Mr. Thorney, the Coroner. Dr. Redhead wee between 30 and 40 yearn of ag.,l and since starting practice in Hull has earned a good reputation. The proximity of his residence I to the Alexandra Dock brought him in touch with many of the painful wanes occasioned through accidente there. To him the dockers at once resorted when any of their culleaguss were injured, and the care and attention he devoted to all such awes, earned for him the esteem and respect of many working men. Hie connection with the prieon, too, hae been creditable to himself, though not of very long duration. The report that he bad died under the circumetances I We have detailed has created • profound impreslsion, not only in East Hull, where he was beat , known but amongst his profeesional brethren throughout the town.  A medical scientiet states that dismal weather has e bad effect upon the reasoning powers as well as upon the spirits. He mys the deductione made on cloudy days often prove to be faulty.  ----• • The Went Biding police made an important rsid on private gambling establishment at Bkickhill, near Bradford, on Sunday, when after a free fight 25 persons were captured.
