HE MET WITH REVERSES INDUCED TO EMBARK IN A LOSING VENTURE. After Leaving His Home He Sits on & Doorstep and Fires a Bullet Into His Head. Despondent over business reverses Otto mitted sulclde by shooting himself through the head. The deed was done on the steps of a house on Van Ness avenue, near Filbert. Johnson lived at 1105 Vallefo street. Shortly atter 8 o'clock last night he left | his home, after telling his wife that he | was going for a walk. As she noticed the handle of his revolver protruding from his overcoat pocket, she begged him not to leave her. Despite her entreaties he | lett the house and walked rapidly along | Filbert street to Van Ness avenue. After looking up and down the street, as if to | see whether or not anybody was ap-| proaching, he sat down on the steps of the house, and taking the revolver from his pocket, placed the muzzle to his head and fired. The bullet entered the right side of the head close to the ear, and | emerged from the other side. A soldier named Welch was passing at the time, | and seeing the old man fall to the side- | walk, he went to his assistance. Realiz- | ing that he was fatally injured, Welch at | once repaired to the North End station, where he hurriedly informed the desk sergeant of the occurrence. Several offi- s were despatched to the scene, and that Johnson was still alive they | o thinking placed him in the patrol wagon and con- | eved him to the Receiving Hospital. - was placed on the operating | tant Police Surgeon Bunnell pronounced him dead. His body was then removed to the Morgue. Johnson some time ago formed a part- nership with Edwin C. Barclay in the in- surance business. They established ~ha office at 411% California street, but| through Barclay's inattention to business, | so it is claimed, Johnson lost considerable | money in the venture. Several weeks ago Barclay met with an accident which pre- | vented him from leaving his house.
