Atlanta, Dec. 31.— (Spedia!.)—F. H.
CcComan, a man cifi>oiR£ r 50' yiears old
and \vtWM30 Ihoipe Is eupjxjsed to be-in
iMliledigevIle, died in «t bunk In; -a*, cell
at tbo police'station this afternoon.
Tho circumstances surrounding ihe
death are of a patihetio as well as a
mysterious chanacter. ,Th old man was
found wanderip^around the union dc-
TiOt about 3 o’qTock'this morning, in
an aimless * manner,. by ^ Patrolman
Florence. 'The officer asked him*wliat
ho was .d^lng and t his answer*was un-
aatlsAuitory. % Aftr conversing with hlgi
for .a short time, the officer become
convinced “that he-w^ts diemented and
that.he would bo'saifcr euid more comv
fortable in 'tfhe tho station (house.' No
choc was _ entered against- -him as (ho
was only taken there as^a place of ref
uge.
1 Before ihe'had 'been long in .the sta
tion housed the old' man 'had a bad fit.
Turnkey Cooper dM what , <he . could
for 'hVm.and 'he seemed to get easier,
buifl laibout 7 * o’clock ihe **lhad
another fit. He was socn by a'reportcr
arid . asked. a,bout Mmseilf..,He an
swered In a rambling'fashion, but final
ly stated that Oils name was F. H.
Coleiman.' He also,seated that ho lived
on Pine street. This latter statement]
is thought to Ibe a mistake, however,
as’ the 'city directory shows no such
person on 'Pine street. Ho was proba
bly thinking of some friend who ^llvos
on Pinp street when he -made the siate-
-meht. 'He also solid that lie ha'i four
wvom. 'ills i-toiivcr^ation j'-howiMl (.hat;
lie was in a demented <vrnriit!r$n.
During tho morning ho hail a - , few lucid
moments. Ho stated to Call Officer Ab
bott and Turnkey Gallagher thut he had
two daughters going to school In this
city, or ono of its suburbs. Ho also stated
that-ho bad been, la Atlanta for three
months nnd had come hero from Mem
phis or Nashville. .He wne asked If ho
had been drinking and said that ho had
not taken a drink since yesterday morn
ing. During the morning tho officers gavo
him two drinks.
When it was found that ho was grow
ing worse Dr. Harris was sent for.* Af
ter examining him Dr. Harris sold the
man was in n bad condition and should
be sent to tho hospital. Preparations to
remove him to tho hospital wore being
mado at tho tlmo of his death. Before
noon the ,old gentleman had five fits. Ho
died during the last one. Just before his
death two other prisoners called for help,
as tho old man waa in a bad condition.
Turnkey Gallagher and Call Office^ Tyser
responded. He was placed on a bunk in
coll No. 6 and tho officers did everything
In their power to relievo him, but to no
avail. He died seemingly without suffer
ing nny pain. AfUr his death he was
searched and it wail found that ho had
given his right name, F. H. Coleman.
Letters addressed to him at Mlllcdgeville
wero found in his pockets. It seemed
from dlffcront papers found In his pock-
ets that he was a cotton seed buyer.
Among his papers was a statement from
Hamuel Evans of Mlllcdgeville showing
that ho had sold 187.81 worth of cotton
seed for Coleman. There were In his
pockets several letters from It. H.
Pritchard, dated Birmingham. Others
from the same party wero dated at Gato
