The Atlanta suicide of a Kansas City journalist
A Kansas City Journal writer using the assumed name Pred D Olds killed himself in the Jackson hotel Atlanta. He left a letter to newspapers and a photograph beside it, planned days ahead, and died after swallowing morphine. He was broke, in disguise, and requested his body not be given to a medical college. The coroner noted no money on him, and the drama centered on a man known for journalism who faced despair in a strange city.
