Parish Dies In Suicide
In Ruston, La.
RUSTON, April 25.--W.T. Chenault, aged 25, soda dispenser for the Marbury Drug Company, this city, drank an ounce of carbolic acid at 9:45 Monday morning, died twenty minutes later in a doctor's office where he was carried for treatment.
He leaves a sister, Mrs. R.Q. Etzell, and a brother, C.C. Chenault, both of Homer. Mr. Chenault for four years a valued employee of the Marbury Drug company, came to the store at his usual time Monday morning, and went about his duties in the usual way. Later he was found by the negro porter in the rear of the building in a stupor.
Brodie Sellers, prescription clerk, and John Ben Kendall, proprietor, hurried him to a doctor's office where he died without speaking. In his hand was a note which read, "Forgive me John Ben and notify my sister."
Mr. Chenault was born and reared in Richland parish, where his father was for a long time deputy sheriff. With the exception of a brief period last year during which he traveled for Vanvleet Mansfield Drug company, Mr. Chenault had been with the Marbury Drug company for four years. He was popular with both store employees and public. His friends can assign no immediate cause for the rash act, other than a temperamental disposition.--Monroe News-Star.
