The Evening Star, November 26, 1891
Suffocated by Gas

Yesterday the coroner gave a certificate of death from suffocation by gas in the case of Henry B. Denny, who
was found dead in his bed at his room over Cross' cigar store on H near 1st street northwest. He was a wellknown
printer, and for a number of years had worked at the government printing office. He hails from
Washington C.H., Ohio, where he has a brother and three sisters living. There was every indication that Mr.
Denny in turning off the gas turned the cock too far.
