"Death by his own hand," was the
verdlcf of the coroner's Jury which
held on Inquest over the body of Cap
tain W. C. Nunemacher, who was found
dead Monday morning In tbe basement
of the Blosser Printing Company, on
Walton street, where he had been em
ployed as superintendent.
From the evidence Introduced at the
inquest It was plainly a case of suicide.
The only mystery which now surrounds
the tragic death of the well-known
Atlantan is the motive for the deed,
It was stated at the Inquest that
Captain Nunemacher had been In ill
health. A box of pill* waa found In
his clothes. He had suffered with a
severe cold for Several weeks. It was
also stated that he had been in financial
straits, although It Is known that he
had made arrangements to cancel the
debt, which had made him most de
spondent.
Further than this, the deceased had
never fully recovered from the death
of his wife, which occurred about two
years ago. He had been devoted to
her and her demise had always been a
source of profound grief on his part.
Short funeral services were held on
Monday evening about 6:20 o'clock In
the chapel of Barclay & Brandon.
Military Escort.
At 11:50 o'clock Monday evening the
body was taken to the train, escorted
by a company of the state military, the
Atlanta Zouaves, under the command
of Captain Catron. Captain Nune
macher had been quartermaster of the
Fifth regiment for a number of years
and was widely eateepied as a military
officer.
the Atlanta branch of the F. C.
macher Company, of Louisville, accom
panied the body to Louisville, the old
home of the deceased, and the present
home of his family, where the Inter
ment took place.

The etory printed In one of the
papers that Sam Jones was a dull boy
at school Is a pure exaggeration,’* said
B. M. Blackburn Tuesday morning.
I was In school with him at Eubar-
lee, under Professor Ronald Johnson.
Air. Jones was some ten years my elder,
but I shall never forget how he shield
ed and protected the smaller and weak,
er hoys from the older ones that had a
tendency to bully.
■'When I was there with him he was
about 20 years of age, and considered
the brlghteet Latin scholar In the
school. He wo* a big, hearty boy, with
normal habits. He was so quick at
his books that It was not necessary
for him to study as hard as others not
so well equipped mentally.
"I was a frail little fellow, having
been weakened by fever, and Mr. Jones
used to take me on his back homo from
the Institute. He was n favorite in the
school, and, as I have stated, a pro
tector for the younger lad*. A won
derful man has passed away.”
