Curtin, 126 Bates street, yesterday and the day before by an alleged practical joker, accord- ing to information given the police, was followed by a nelghborhood dis- turbance yesterday afternoon. Cuttin was_arrested for alleged disorderly conduct, locked in a cell in the second precinct police station, where no dporman is provided, and last night about 7:40 o'clock he waf found dead, having hanged himself With his neck- V. Torney, in wheel- first, and and A. t, and Mrs. number ‘alter Reed e. His death became known when Mary Curtin, twelve-year-old daugh- ter of the suicide, visited the station with a basket of food for her father. Desk Sergt. Stone led the child to the cellroom, but when he discovered the occupant of the cell had killed himself he told her her father wanted nothing to eat and had Precinct De- tective Boyle drive her home in an automobile. Child, Teid of Death, Faints. On the trip to the Curtin home the child remarked to the detective that something awful must have happened to her daddy, and when she learned he was dead, it is stated, she fainted. ‘While Detective Boyle was taking the child home, other members of the second precinct command cut down the. body. and summoned Dr. L. W. Bowen from Emergency Hospital Life was extinct, and the body was taken to the morgue. Coroner Nevitt conducted an inquest at the morgue today. Witnesses told of the lfllir. and Detective Boyle testifled that Mrs. Curtin told him her husband had threatened to cut his throat with a razor Monday nllhl- A verdict of sui- cide was reported. Policemen Waller and Holmes of the second precinct were in the station when the call was received for a re- ported neighborhood disturbance on Bates street, and when the two police- men reached the \h'ln\({ of the Cur- tin home, they reported, they heard Curtin using bad language. He sub- mitted quietly to arrest and was held to answer a charge of disorderly con- duct. Disturbed by “For Sale” Sigm. It was learned by the police that the “for sale” sign incident had disturbed Curtin very much and probably was responsible for the trouble which re- sulted in his arrest. About thirty min- utes before it became known that Cur- tin “had ended his life, the police stated, a friend of the prisoner called to see him and arranged to return and deposit collateral for him, but: before the friend had time to get the mona 4 return Curtin’s dead body was discovered. Ten minutes before Desk Bergt. Stone gntered the cellroom and dis- covered what had happened, it is! stated, Policeman Haller provided the prisoner a light for a olgarette. Cur- tin, who was forty-five years old, was in the plumbing business gt 1226 H street northeast. He is survived by his wife and three daughters, Mary being the oldest. —_—— SUED FOR AGCOUNTING. Violation of Contracts by J. H. De Pue Alleged in Complaints. Everett H. King and Robert F. Hutchinson have filed separate suits in.the District Supreme Court against James H. De Pue, trading under the different names of .the Consolidated School System and the Federu Serv- e Lesgue. Through Attorney Alfred Smith, King alleges that on October 26 last he entered into & contract with the -defendant which entitled the former to a certaln part of the profits of the enterprise, and a right to inspect the books of the concern. King de- clares that De Pue has sold certain interests of the business without the former's consent and knowledge, “re- ceiving large sums of money there- for,” and refusing to permit plaintift to inspect the books of the conocern. King asks that the court decree judgment as to the amount due him and also for an accounting. In the latter case, Hutchinson al- leges that he made a partnership con- tract with the defendant May 31 last by which he was entitled to certain territorial rights for exploitation, but that defendant failed to carry out his part of the eement and also failed to_account Yor certaln moneys and refuses to permit plaintiff to inspect the books of the firm. Plaintiff asks that defendant be restrained from dis ng of any part of the business an accounting. Attorney Smith also appears for Hutchinson. VETERANS TO REUNITE. D. C.
