"John Biscarro Ends Own Life with Revolver
Locks up Relative Phones Employer Then Shoots Self
John A. Biscarro, aged 49, a resident of 404 East Fesler street and a salesman for the W. B. Johnson Automobile Agency, ended his life with a revolver in the Johnson Chevrolet Garage last night at 8:15.
Funeral services were held up today pending arrival of a son, Johnny, first-class torpedoman in the Navy, now stationed in San Diego, one of two sons of deceased.
The other son, Billy, aged 15, lives here in the family home. The widow, Mrs. Myrtle Biscarro, also survives. She was attending a meeting of the native Daughters of the Golden West last night when her husband, also a native son of California, ended his life. Mrs. Z. W. Brown took her home when the news was relayed to the lodge hall.
Suffered Ill Health
Ill health for several months was ascribed as the cause for the suicide. deceased left a note to his family and apparently made his plans for the end with great care.
When his brother-in-law, William McCurdy, became suspicious as Biscarro prepared to leave the house with hi 32-calibre Colt automatic revolver, Biscarro pushed him into a closet in the home and locked the door. Neighbors heard McCurdy's calls and released him about the time Biscarro ended his life in the garage.
On reaching the garage, Biscarro called up his employer at his home and told him he planned to kill himself. Johnson attempted to dissuade him against the act, then called police and told them of the threat. Before Police Capt. J. F. McDermott could reach the place, Biscarro had shot himself.
The body was removed by Deputy Coroner C. P. Magner.
Biscarro, a native of King City, had lived in Santa Maria for many years. For a long time, he worked for the late mechanic, then as a car salesman, and he transferred to the Johnson agency some ten or 11 years ago. He sold new Oldsmobiles and Chevrolets for the Johnson firm when car could be had. When they were frozen, Biscarro was put on the used car lot.
Deceased leaves a half brother, Benny Villa, in Oakland, and two sisters, Mrs. Ida Encarnacion, who lives on a ranch near Cholame, and Mrs. Marie Rose, who lives in San Diego."
"Biscarro Rites At 10:30 Tomorrow
Last rites for John A. Biscarro, who ended his own life Tuesday night with a revolver shot, will be held tomorrow at 10:30 in the chapel of the Magner Funeral Home, with officers of the Moose lodge officiating. Deceased was a longtime member of the lodge.
