ILLNESS AND PAIN.CAUSE | PRESIDENT APPROVES HAVING MAN’S SUICIDE IN OFFICE Arthur W. Leeke, 51, Leaves Notes for Employer and Wife When He Bhoots Himself. Writing two notes, one to his wife and the other to John F. Murrell, his employer, Arthur W. Leeke, fifty-one years old, in the employ of the Wash- ington Woodworking Company at 200 12th street the past twenty-five years, committed suicide yesterday afternoon by shooting himsel? in the mouth. He fired the shots while alone in the office at his place of emplayment, and was found shortly afterward by Mr. Murrell. v It was about 4 o'clock when the shooting occurred, and a few minutes later Mr. Murrell, who returned to the plant to get something to take on a trip to Herring Bay, where he had planned to ag;:d the week end, dis- covered the body and summoned the police. The weapon with which the shooting had been done was clutched in the hand of the dying man. Leeke died shortly after reaching Emergency Hospital.- The nate addressed to his wife con- veyed the informatoin that the de- spondent man was sick and suffering 80 much pain that he feared he would lose his senges. He wrote his wife that the paln was more than he could stand, and gave certain information relating to his insurance policies. In the note to his employer he asked that he advance his wife money for Immediate needs. The message to Mr. Murrell also contained a request that the note addressed to his wife be delivered to her, the writer add- ing: “I haven't got the nerve to tell her.” : Mr, Leeke had been an earnest, faithful and capable worker, his em- ployer stated. Yesterday afternoon Mr. Murrell left the plant, presum- ably to be absent until tomorrow morning., and Leeke, - it is stated, drove his automobile home and left it in his garage. Returning to the plant, he wrote hjs messages and then took his life. He was a member of Dawson Lodge, No. 16, F. A. A. M., and the Brother- hood of Stationary Engineers. He re- sided with his wife and grown daugh- ter, Miss Louise Leeke, at 33 Adams street. Funeral arrangements have not been completed. —— ALEXANDRIA. ALEXANDRIA, Va.
