Unknown Man Drinks Ten Cents’ Worth of Carbolic Acid Soon After Reaching Town. A stranger whe drifted into the city Thursday morning and promptly com- mitted suicide by taking ten cents’ worth of carbolic acid, purchased at Dresser’s drug store upon his arrival here, has supplied the city officials with another mystery to unravel. Up to Thursday night the man’s identity had’ not been established, nor his me- tives for taking his life. No one here knows the dead man’'s name, nor what combination of ecir- cumsiances led him to take his life, but there are certain little details that indicate he had carefully planned to do away with himself and prevent, for a time, at least, the establishing of his identity and the conveying “of-know- ledge of his act to his relatives or friends. The man’s name may be Donnelley, Donovan, or any one of the various ! family names that begin with ‘“Don,” | but just which one is not certain\ With | his voice thk:knmng from the effects of the acid he had taken, the man at- tempted to tell his name, but the ear of the one who asked .the guestion could not make out distinctly just what the ansewer was, nor whether the man said he was from North or South Scituate, R. I, but it was one of these. It was just before 9 o’clock Thurs- day morning when Attorney Howard C. Bradford, ascending the stairs lead- ing to the second floor of the Central block, to take up his business in the office of Searls & Russell, found a man peering into the offices through a key- hole in' the door. Thinking the man was a client, At- torney Bradford inquired. what he could do for him. -*Nothing, nothing,” the man replied. Mr. Bradford imme- diately took notice of the fact that the fellow acted queerly, as #f he were dazed in some degree, but paid no'par- ticular attention to him.\ Within a few minutes Robert Chadwick, who is em- ployed by one of the concerns doing doing business on that floor of the Cen- tral block, came tp Mr, Bradford and toid him the man had been loitering about the hall for a coneiderable length of time. The man’'s presence and queer actions came, after a time, to be something of a joke to, them, se they paid little further attention to him. F The man afterwards left the bujld- ing and went out into Elm street, but returned after a time and declared, 1aner roaming about trying various doors that there was.someone in the bullding he wanted to see—he was sure of that—but could tell no more. A torney Bradford asked him his name and the man replied something that sounded like Donnelley and said he camé from North or South Scituate. At this time the man must have taken the acid, for a few minutes later employes in a talloring establishment on the floor saw him reel and fall. His condition then cavsed a coramo- tion and Dr. Edward F. Perry was summohed by telephone. - With the _first look that he took at the prostrate man the physiclan announced that the CcAsé was a hopeless one, as as any chance of the victim’s recovery was concerned, but he gave the heavily FRIDAY, 10th, - . now $16,75 a sias sy oW $:9,75 .....% now $2.00 ’ of Excellence Broadway at Forty-Second Street, New York City .

Busy Days at Packer. C. B. Montgomery entertained three auto loads of politiclans from Fair- field. county Sunday. The suspicious sight of more than a dozen well filled ‘mail bags around Mont's house after they had gone looks as if there was breathing man a hypodermfe infection This treatment had little or no effect, however, and the. man passed ‘away just before 10 o’clock. “It’s Too Late Nowl"” Lying on the floor after he collapsed in the hallway, the dying man evi- dently realized his condition, for as he heard Attorney Bradford declare that a physiclan must be summoned he summoned strength enough to gasp: “It's too late now!” the last.words that passed his Hps, Capt. John Murray, who had been notified of wkat had happened soom after it was learned that the man had taken acid, a fact that was very promptly discovered by Dr, Perry, and who was present when the man died, immediately started to unravel the mystery of the sulcide. The oficor was not long in ascertain- ing that the man had arrived in this city on the car due from Danislson and Dayville at 7.56. Conductor Bvereit Comins, seen later, said that the fei- low boarded the car near the William Sayles place in Elmville. When the car reached Dayville and stopped op- posite Labelle’s drug store the man jumped off the car and then inquired how long a stop was to be made. When told ‘that the car was to leave imme- diately he jumped back on again; but his action at that time is now taken as indicating an intent to buy his acid there, and that the suicide plan was. already fixed in his mind. Drank Poison on the Street. He had mot beea in this city long when he bought the acid. This was delivered to him—ten cents’ worth—in an ounce bottle., Evidently he went out and drank it on the street near Ballard & Clark’s corner, for the empty bottle was found there later in the day and identified by Eugene Brosseau, clerk who sold the acid, as the one he had delivered to the man. The stranger must have been suffer- ing from the first effects of the acid ‘when he was seen wandering about the hallway in the Central block. Meant to Hide Identity. That the suicide intended his iden- tity should not be learned is indicated by the fact that there was not a thing in his pockets excepting the label that came Off the acid bottle and some te- bacce.. There was not a clue te tell who he was er ‘where he came from. Spent Last Dime for Carbelic, The man is absut 5 feet 4 inches in height and weighs probably 135 pounds. He has dark brown hair and may have H been from 30 te 35 years of age. He wore kahkl trousers, which were clean, a cheap black and white striped outing shirt, a blue fancy weave coat and a dark brown cap. His shoes were black, low cut, and in good condition, and his stockings were black. His un- derwear was in good condition and clean. There was no money in the man’s pockets and it is evident flutl he spent his last dime for the acid with which hs took hie life. After the body had been viewed Dr, 8. B.
