Chief of Police Lees received yesterday ;aletter from Mzry L. Sims at Caldwell, N. C., the mother of Joun W. Sims, who committed suicide on the 6:h of the pres- ent month by shooting himself in the head in 8 Third-strest saloon. Mrs. Sims bad read the account in THE CALL of the suicide and wrote for furtner particulars garding the name and identity of the dead man. Whnen Sims killed himself he left a note <tating that he murdered his wife on June 28, 1895, in North Carolina and that he bad escaped from un insane asylum in t at State. The letter written by his mother and a ippin - indorsed from the Charlotte (N. ) Observer corroborate the story as told by the suicide and his mother.

Believing tnat he bad killed Alexander, the shooter b came desperate and, revolver 1n hand, ran at full speed toward his house. His wite, 18 years old and only five months married, saw him comiag, and, divining his purpose, attempted 1o escape to the hou-e of a neighbor. He overiook her, and, de«pits her pathetic pleadings, piaced the muzze of the revoiver to her head, and sent the bullet crashing through her brain. He was tried for murder, declared in- sane, and in September of the same vear commitied to the Siate Ho-pital ai Mor- zanton. On the 27th of iasi June he es- caved, #nd nothing more was heard of bim until bis suicide. Sims’ mother s'ates in her letier that the suic'de was her only son, that he had oeen tryins for several years to take his life, and that he had been a vreat burden on her since he wa- 13 yearsold. Ste sail also that be bad an uncie named Jonn W. Burnett in the interior of tnis State.
