SUICIDE BY POISONING- WILLIAM S. TIMMONS, THE TEAMSTER, TAKES HIS OWN LIFE.
About 11 o'clock last night Coroner Littlefield and Dr. J.T. Palmer were called to 99 Elm Street to investigate the death of William S. Timmons, the well known teamster. Mr. Timmons was found in bed a few minutes before, by his wife, when she returned from her bake shop on Cumberland Street. Mr. Timmons lay rigid and with his hands drawn up and clenched in the attitude indicating strychnine poisoning. A tea cup was found on a chair near the bed containing a white sticky mass which proved to be strychnine in milk. A small bottle of strychnine was also found in the room with enough of it gone to account for the amount in the cup.
It is said that Mr. Timmons had been despondent and morose for a long time and had repeatedly threatened to take his life. About two years ago he was injured by a snowslide and later by the kick of a horse. It is thought these accidents may have affected his mind. He has threatened to kill himself several times.
His son thinks his father has had the poison for some time. Mr. Clinton Gilson employed Timmons to go to Cook, Everett & Pennell's wholesale drug store for him at 1 o'clock yesterday to order some goods. Mr. Fred Thompson, a clerk at Cook, Everett & Pennell's waited upon him and put up the order for Mr. Gibson. Both men said this morning that Timmons appeared as cheerful as ever. This was the last time he was seen by Mr. Gibson.
