G. Pohl Dies by Gas e and Annie McMahon e Takes Acid. USINESS cares, reverses and despalr drove George G. Pohl, a dealer in bags and salt at 51 Sacramento street, to a suicidal death some time during the early hours yesterday morning. He was 57 vears of age, a native of Germany, and resided at 1603 Webster street. The manner of his taking-off shows the determination of Pohl to make sure of a successful termination of his work. During the night he left his bed while his wife was asleep. She did not know he was away from her side until she awoke in the morn- ing shortly before 6 o'clock. Every room in the house was searched, for Pohl was not accustomed to rise at such an early hour. To her surprise she found the kitchen door locked and an odor of gas escaping from the room, into which an entrance was barred. When the door was forced open Pohl was found flat on his stomach, his head hanging over a bucket into which a rubber tube attached to the gas jet was pouring its deadly poison. meeting of the Eureka Soclety yes-| 0—0—0—0—0—0—0—0—0—0—0—0— Pohl had detached the rubber tube from a gas stove, fastened it to the jet and had then lain down to end his life. The windows were all securely sealed and all doors locked. In order that there should be no accident in his design he arranged the novel but efficacious bucket scheme. The body was removed to the Morgue, where the Inquest was held yesterday morn- ing. Mrs. Pohl said that at no time had her husband threatened to end his life. He brooded over business misfortunes, and had declared that unless his luck changed for the better he would be obliged to go to another land to fight out the battle of life.
