HANGED TO A RAFTER
How Youug G. A. LONNEY Deliberately Killed Himself.
George A. Lonney, son of George Lonney, an expressman residing at 211 Twelfth street, yesterday morning committed suicide by hanging himself in his father's barn. His body was not discovered until some hours afterward. The deceased was 32 years of age and in delicate health. He evidently set about committing the act in a very deliberate way, judging from the following letter which he had written: "To Anybody Who Cares to Head: I want to say the only reason I take my life is because I am sick. I have been a trouble and expense to my parents for many years. I can never get well, and under the circumstances I don't think I am doing anything to be ashamed of. Hanging is a mean way to die, but I have no pistol. I will fasten my hands back, and take every care to guard against failure. Good-by, all. Yours as ever, "G. A. LONNEY." None of the family were about the place when the young man committod the act. The parents of the deceased are greatly distressed over the sad occurrence. •
