SUICIDE OF. JOHN CROW.
Mr. John Crow, a resident of Bates
ville, who was well known in this
city, committed suicide last Friday
evening by taking a heavy dose of
morphine. His death and the manner
of his taking off created quite a sen
sation. Mr. Crow had recently -sold
his residence property, and was pre
paring to go to Colorado for the
health of his wife, who is very feeble.
They were to leave Friday afternoon
and the trunks had been sent to the
depot when Mr. Crow went up into
the bathroom to take a bath. He
came out shortly, very sick and
vomiting, and relapsed into a dull
stupor, from which he never recov
ered and died about 8 o’clock that
evening. Inquiry developed that he
had bought of the Casey Drug com
pany 20 grains of morphine just be
fore 12 o’clock, saying he had a sick
horse. This could nowhere be found,
and all the indications pointed to
morphine poisoning. No motive can
be assigned further than worry as to
his wife’s health and possibly finan
cial difficulties.
