Williame Ends Life in Presence of Landlady and Sons After Taking Drink y yesterday communication uld enlighten its e J. H. Witham, a former real estate brok chose a sensational way of end- ing his earthly cares las He walked leisurely into the dr: of the residence of Mrs. Laura Mollet, 1322 Mission street, where he roomed, and in the presence of the woeman and her two sons sent a bullet tRrough his brain, after first taking a drink of whisky. A combination of flnam ial difficulties and unrequited love for Mrs. Mollet was the direct cause of the man's rash act. For some time he had conducted a real estate brokerage business at 819 Market street, but a short while ago the business failed and since then Witham has known severe financial! strains. On top of his money troubles the suicide conceived a ent love for | Mrs. Mollet. She was not partial to his affections and treated him distantly whenever he proposed the making of love in her presence. This seemed to | dwell heavily on Witham’s mind and, before putting an end to his existence, | he left a note to Mrs. Mollet stating that as he was moneyless and despon- | dent he had decided to die and there- fore she would be free to marry whom | she should choose. Witham was also known as J. H.! Hall and was about 49 years old. He was a shrewd business but seem- ed to have been down on his luck late- | ly. He tried to borrow money from his | landlady earlier in the day, but the | woman refused to contribute. The body was removed to the Morgu } ——————— POPULAR YOUNG PRIEST i RECEIVES HIGH HO\ORT Rev.
