Passing through Key West last Friday with*his wife en route to Havana, H. M. Cole, prominent manufacturer of Memphis, Tenn., committed suicide in Havana at noon Wednesday by jumping out of the third story window of the Hotel Lafayette in that city. The body, accompanied by Mrs. Cole, and a sister of the deceased, Miss Francis Cole, arrived on the steamer Northland last night. G. Frank Sawyer, of the Lopez un- dertaking establishment, looked after the transfer of the body here, complying with a telegraphic request from a Memphis under- taker. The sister passed through Key West Wednesday, the same day of her brother’s tragic death, ex- pecting to join Mr. and Mrs. Cole for a pleasant and _ interesting visit in the Cuban capital city, and her arrival there was one of the saddest features in connection with the appalling event. Reports say that Mrs. Cole was in the room with her husband when he made the leap from the window, but did not note his ac- tion until he was dashing earth- ward. The tragedy occurred when the street was crowded with traf- fic and was witnessed by hun- dreds of people. Death was in- stantaneous. The rash act is attributed to ill emmy and burden of business mat- SHIPPING BODY OF ALBANY'S - ‘REMAINS WILL ARRIVE IN KEY WEST THIS AFTER- NOON; DIES FROM INJURIES IN HAVANA The body of William S.
