But when his pet cat, Patsy, slipped under an eleva- tor car that crushed it to death “Old Man" Smith, as they called him at 530 ‘West Forty-seventh street, decided that the cards of life were stacked against him. 8o yesterday, brooding over his physical ills and financial misfortunes and grieving over Patsy “Old Man"” Smith brought upon him- self a similar fate by allowing him- self to be crushed to death by the same elevator car. He left a note which said: “I am tired of life, I couldn’t endure the pains any longer. Please pay the 12 cents I owe for newspapers,” i Smith had been day watchman so long at the Hippodrome's warehouse in West Forty-seventh street that he seemed part and parcel of the prem- ises. Heé lived at Mills Hotel No. 11, in Bleécker street. Apparently Smith had no friends but Patsy, He shared his Mnches with the cat, which was the constant .companion of working hours. But Patsy, six months ago, was crushed by the elevator while chasing & mouse and “Old Man" Smith never was the same after that. When Emanuel Boykier, night watchman, arrived for work yesterday afternoon he called for “Old Man" Smith but received no: response. He shouted into the elevator shdft, then noticed that the car seemed to bel STERLING, CABLE NELSON, HUNTINGTON, CAMERON, RADCLIFFE, STANLEY, LAKESIDE, ARION, DE KALB and Other Standard Makes. close to the bottom without actually touching the bottom. He raised it. The car is opérated by cable. Then he lowered it. The car struck some- thing soft. Again Boykier raised the car, this time above his head, so that he could look into the bottom of thé shaft. Theére he saw ‘Old Man” Smith’s crumpled form, bent double. “Old Man” Smith had placed himself in sitting posture, raised the car, thén let it -descend upon him.
