HE CUTS HIS THROAT WITH A POCKET KNIFE. A Sufferer From Mental Depression Caused by the Failure of His Bank— Coroner Patterson Thinks He Was Insane When He Committed the Act. Mr, J. H. Squier, the banker, committed suicide this morning at his residence, No. 1514 K street. He arose about a quarter to7 o'clock, and only re- marked to his wite that he felt dreadfully depress- ed. She replied that she felt $0, too, adding that ‘she would goto her bath. He replied, “Very wel!; Vil sit here on the bed.” A few moments after her departure, as near as can be judged, he proceeded, ‘without dressing himself, from his bedroom, which isin the rear of the house, to the front chamber, passing through an intervening bedroom. In the corner of the front room stood a small dressing- case. Standing in front of this plece of furniture he selzed a small, two bladed pocket knife, and opening the small blade deliberately cut his throat from ear to ear, severing the jugular vein. He re- Placed the knife upon tne stand, and, staggering about ten feet, fell to the floor, His pathway was marked with blood. Shortly afterwards his wife returned to the ded- room.

When Coroner Patterson (the family physician) arrived, at a quar- ter to 8 o'clock, Mr. Squier was Just alive and made a few dying gasps. MENTALLY DEPRESSED SINCE HIS FAILURE. Since the disastrous failure of the bank of which he was head.on the 7th of June, Mr. Squier has been very much depressed mentally—indeed, to such an extent as to excite the fears of his wife. Sometimes ne talked incolerentiy. ‘Three or four weeks ago he was sick in bed, and Coroner Patter- son (WhO, as stated, bas alvays been is family physician} was summoned, and found him suffering with intermittent fever. ifts health gradually tmn- proved. but it was impossible to arouse his spirits Ir. Patterson discontinued his visits about a week ago, the patient having sumerently recovered, and ice then he has been Seen on the street_occasion- ally. Last night ne seemed, unusually d pressed, and, as stated above, sald to his wife this morning that he continued to feel so. ‘The coroner was Present at the death, and, belng perfectly satisned Uhat It was @ clear ‘case of suicide, he decided at Once that no inquest was nevessary. ‘THE ACT OF AN INSANE MAN. In talking later with a Srax reporter the coroner sald that it was not only a case of suicide, but that he was finnly of the opinion that the act was that of an insane man, whose recent nancial troubles, in which he was'so disastrously entangled as to have butiittle hope of ever recovering, preyed upon a mind In which there was a_dorint ten. dency to insanity. ‘There is undoub:ed proof thei ‘there was a hereditary predisposition to insanity as at least one member of his funtly had been in sane. It was reported that Mr. Squler was intend ing to leave the city with hls family. ‘This, how- ever, fs authoritatively denied. Arrangements had been made to stay with friends in Washington, un- Ul they could be settled here to board permanently. HIS FAMILY. The deceased was 54 years of age,a native of Vermont. He had been a resident of Washington for nearly 2 years. He leaves a widow and two children, girls, 15 and 8 years of age. ‘The children are not in the city. ‘the widow wil be taken to the residence of friends in the clty, Who will give her every attention. A Visit to the House. ‘When a Srar reporter ascended the steps of 1514 K street, the late residence of Mr. Squter, he found the crape already on the bell pull, and standing in front of the house was the undertakers wagon. ‘When the door was opened by the colored servant the reporter stepped into the hall and thence into the darkened parlors. Mr. Edward E. Howes, the brother of Mrs Squier, came down stairs, folidwed by his wife, and the latter's eyes were swollen with weeping and her face showed the evidence of sym- pathy with another's grief. Mrs, Squier, the reporter was told by Mr. Howes, as his wite paised along, was upstairs neatly over- come by the tragic occurrence which had come upon her with the unexpecteduess of a lightuiny STATEMENT OF MRS. SQUIER'S BROTHER. “I was aroused,” sald Mr. Howes, “at my house, 1005 H street, shortly arter 7 o'clock this morning by a message brought by the colored servant from Mrs. Squier, that Mr. Squler had dangerous wounded huinself. Tat once went up to the hous: as I knew that Mrs Squler was alone in the b with the exception of the two femaie s-rvants! His two ilttie giris, who are fitteen and nine years of age, are in Vermont, at their father’s old home.’ When I reached the house, continued Mr. Howes, “I found Dr. Patterson and Dr. J.T. Johnston there. Mr. Squier lived but a short ume after 1 got there, and dled tn perhaps an hour after the occurrence. His wife was naturally very much overcome. She had arisen about 7 o'clock, Squier remaining in bed, and went out of the rodm, which 1s the back room in the second story, and ‘crossed the hall to the bathroom. Mr. Squier had. sald to her before she arose that he felt very much depressed in mind and Out of spirits, but observed nothing unusual. After remaining a short time in the bathroom, rs. Squier came out and entered the bedroom. Not nding Mr. Squier there, she walked into the adjoining Toom, and she sa to her horror her husband lying stretched out upon the floor near the entrance of the front room. The white night shirt was deeply stained with the blood ‘which poured from a ghastly wound in his throat, and he was already unconscious and unable to speak. Half frantic with grief and overcome with the horror of the gummon the servants and directed them to get a doctor. ‘This was done as rapidly as possible. It seems that Mr. Squier had walked into the next Toom, and picking up & small penkulie, which ue carriéd, cut his throat.” AN UNEXPECTED ACT. “Did you anticipate anything of thissort2” asked the reporter. “I hadn't the slightest idea of it,” was the reply “Twas up here last might until nearly 10 o'clock, and talkea with Mr. Squler. He seemed to be about as usual, except that he was very much depressed, fg he has been ever since the failure of the bank. ‘This failure preyed upon his wind awfully. He has been silent, and he had the appearance of a man that was very much worried.” ‘What was the cause of the act in your opinion 2” continued the reporter sie Twas crazy.” was the reply. “There ts no doubt about that ‘in my mind, Ydon’t think that he has beerrright in his mind for some time. He hag been worryin; ruined man and did not save acent from the busi- ness. He does not own the house. Even this fur- niture is gone. I tried to get lin to leave the city a month ago, but he would not go. He was afraid Uhat these people would get after him again and accuse him of running away, as they have done of ‘cheating and stealing.” ‘Mr. Howes, when asked if the deceased had left any papers indicating an intention of taking nis life, or had recently made his Will, sald that he left No papers of any sort at all, and that he would not leave a Will, a8 1t would be of no use—he liad noth- ing to leave.

He had ‘built a house seversl years which was mortgaced heavily. but in Which he’ continued to reside unull his death. WHAT THE DEPOSITORS THOUGET. Some of the depositors firmly belleved that Mr. Squier had secreted a snug amount of money, of which he would avail himself later. No evidence Of this has come to licht, and {t ts now generally Delleved that he had lost ail. Upon his failure Jay B. Smith, who had been the bookkeeper of the bank tor’ several years, was made assignee on be half of the creditors. Cpon the request of a num= der of depositors, Mr. Jesse B.
