DEATH WOOED PATIENTLY
J.J. DU BRUILLE, BIDING THE TIME, AT LAST SUCCEEDS
Second Attempt at Suicide Is Successful--Inhales Gas Through Garden Hose.

In a fit of despondency, J.J. Du Bruille, 65 years old, made a second and, this time successful attempt upon his life by inhaling illuminating gas in his home, 777 East Yamhill street, yesterday afternoon.

DuBruille chose a time when he was alone in the house. Attaching one end of a piece of garden hose to a gas fixture, he climbed in bed, after turning on the gas. Placing the covers of the bed closely about his head to retain the gas, he placed the other end of the hose into his mouth and waited for death.

At 5 o'clock last evening a member of the family returned home. The strong odor of gas attracted him to a bedroom on the second floor. He found the man unconscious. Dr. W. F. Amos was summoned, but DuBruille died, an hour later.

DuBruille has been a sufferer from melancholia. Since he made a vain attempt to end his life last Spring, a careful watch had been kept upon him. He was left alone yesterday for the first time in several months.
