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.

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.

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*.
