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

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. Death eame almost in- ,
stantly. <

could hardly dress myself and it required
considerable effort for me to
get about. That my kidneys were out

backache but restored my kidneys to
