ting to it. the editor appeared in
great haste and anger, saying it
was time to go to press and t hat
we were late with copy. Watch

DIES IN BATH TUB.
Augusta, Ga., April 30.
George Lester Goodwin, assistant
bookkeeper for the Interstate
Gotton Oil Company, was found;
d ad in the bath tub at his board
ing house, 957 Reynolds street,
this morning at 7 o’clock, death
being tlie result, of acute indiges
tion.
Goodwin was heard to go intoj
the hath room last night at 11
o'clock but was not missed until j
this morning, when his brother,
who lives in North Augusta, and
who was preparing to leave the
city with his wife, went to Good
win’s room.
finding the light still burning
in the bedroom, and noticing a
light in the bathroom, lie knock
ed on the' latter door, but got no
answer. He entered the bath
room through the room of another
hoarder and found young Good
win with his face and the upper
portion of his body soaped, half
reclining in the bath tub. dead.
examination by a physician
developed the fact that he had
died suddently of acute indiges
tion. though none of the occu
pants of the house knew Good
win was suffering. A striking
incident connected with the death
of Goodwin was that an invalid"
lady in the house, a Mrs. Oliver,
insisted on her husband going to
the bedroom of one of the hoard
ers. who had been ill the past
week, three times during the
night to ascertain if the young
man was all right, Mrs. Oliver
had a nervous spell and insisted
that there was something wrong
in the house and could not go to
sleep. She knew nothing of
Goodwin's death until this morn
ing.
