[See this diary of that day.] I learn that but a short time before the horrid deed was committed he was in the barroom of the St.Charles Hotel handling gold pieces and stating that he had received them from me, and that he loaned thirty-five dollars of them to the barkeeper, that shortly afterward he had attempted to write something, but what I have not learned, but he had not written much when he said he would go to his room.
"In the course of the morning I learn he went into the city and paid a hackman a small amount which he owed him.

He had locked his room door, and when found he was stretched out on his back with his hands extended, weltering in his blood.

He had three wounds in the abdomen and his throat was cut.

A hawkbill knife was found near him.

A jury of inquest was held and found a verdict that he had destroyed himself.
