DIED BY HIS OWN HAND. Major MariOD Noise, a Prominent At j torney of Sumter, Commits Suicide. Sumter, January '?<>.?Alone in a room of his law oflices, Major Marion Moise, one of Sumter's most prominent men, committed suicide late this afternoon by shooting himself in the head with a revolver No reason can be assigned for the act, as Major Moise was in good health, and as far as can be learned no financial embarrassment could have led him to take his life. He left no note explaining why he killed himself, and it was only the silent testimony of a pistol m his hand that told that a suicide had been committed. When R D Lee, Jr, went to the offices of Lee & Moise shortly after 6 o'clock this evening he found the body of Major Moise lying on a conch in the second room of the office. Medical aid was summoned immediately, but physicians stated that Major Moise had been dead for more than fifteen minutes at the time the body was discovered. Two pistols were found, one of them, of 32 ealibre, in the hand of the dead man. Relatives are at a loss to explain the suicide. Only recently Major Moise lost bis beautiful home by fire, and it is believed that this worried him a great deal. Nothing was said by him so far as it is known, to lend to any explanation of his taking his own life. He most have repaired to the office with the intention of killing him - 1 '- i- i-.i v.:. self, Din ne saiejy guaiucu uio purpose. When Mr Lee found the body he, after notifying a physician, started home to tell his father, who is the senior member of the law firm. On the way he met Mr Davis Moise, a son of Major Moise, but did not tell him of Major Moise's death, hoping that the son would pass by the office. But Mr Davis Moise (lid go into the offices, and found the body of his father lying there. Major Moise shot himself in the head, the ball entering near the right ear.
