WM. H. STATEH
TAKES HIS LIFE AT
PORTSMOUTH HOME
Former Well Known Brown County,
Ohio, Man Takes Ills Own Life
With Shot Gun at Portsmouth
Tuesday.
Portsmouth, Ohio. A load of shot
from a Binglo barrel shot gun that
tore off the top part of his head was
the means employed by William H.
Staten, well known resident of New
lloston, to take his own life some time
during Tuesday night. His lifeless
body was found In a two-room frame
shack In the rear of tho Staten home,
3817 Rhodes avenue, New Boston. Two
empty shells were found along with
the empty shot gun which lay across
the dead man's lap. Thero was a hole
In the roof to show the courso of one
shot but there Is no holo In the room
show where the second shot lodged.
On account, of Mr. Staten making
statements that neighbors had been
trying to poison him, Coroner J. D.
Hendrickson removed the man's
stomach nnd sent It to Columbus for
uinlysis by state chemists. He will
not render his verdict until he hears
from the examination of the stomach,
but said that it appeared to be a plain
case of suicide surrounded with pecu
liar facis. The most peculiar facts Is
the finding of two empty shot gun
r!iells and a single barrel shot gun. It
is the belief of neighbors that Mr.
S'atcn was so Intent on taking his own
life that when he missed tho first time
he fired Benin.
The first shot, they say, Is the one
that probably made tho hole in the
roof.
Mr. Staten had been despondent over
"anilly troubles for about a year. His
condition has been worse of late. The
lifeless form sittlnq; in a chair was
found by Chester Staten, eldest son
of the dead nvn. Chester Staten
moved to the Staten homo about two
weeks ai;o and had been caring for his
father and the property. Tho father
had been staying for some time in the
two-room shack on the rear of the let.
Hmster had been going to the shack
early each morning nnd looking in to
eo if his father was all right, for he
"ns about !0 years of age When be
'eked through a window he saw bis
father's dead body in the chair with
the shct gun across his lap. He did
not go into the room, but notified the
kroner at once.

'e:it of New Boston for about twenty
vrrs. moving to that village from

Sixth Ward Youths Find Gallon and a .
Half of Moo-shine Liquor In Ohio
River Face Juvenile
Court.
Willie Holt, sixleo.vyear-old lad of
the Sixth ward, was taken in charge
by policemen Thursday evening in a
very drunken condition and placed In
the local Jail. He was brought ou Fri
day and questioned by Acting Chief
of Police Carpenter.
It developed that several other lads
who live in tho Sixth ward and are
members of Holt's gang, discovered a
gallon end a half of moonshine liquor
in a cotton bag in the Ohio River near
the foot of Cottage street Thursday
afternoon. The liquor was in three
half-gallon Jars and these Jars were
divided among the three leaders of the
gang. Two or the Jars were hidden
and the contents of the third was con
sumed b ythe beys. All the other mem
bers of the gang were enabled to get
under cover but Holt was too drunk
to get home and ue was caught by the
police.
The police gathered In the entire
gang Friday morning and took them
before Juvenile Ju.ige Purnell who
gave them a lecure and took some of
the leaders under probation for fur
ther investigation.
In the examination of the youths,
one of them let drop the Information
that sevc-al t eeeks ago he had stolen
four quai '3 of moonshine liquor Irom
the cellar of an East End home.
One of the boys in the party had
served tim j in one of the Ohio Reform
schools aDd Judge Purnell is commun
icating with the Cincinnati Juvenile
authorities in regard to this lad's
record.
Officials are of the opinion that the
liquor which the boys found In the
river near the foot of Cottage street
was thrown from a houseboat when
the occupants became frightened at
the appearance of the sheriffs in that
neighborhood a few nights ago.
The whole matter Is to receive the
careful investigation of tho police and
sheriff's offices.
