Body Found in Arlington Reservoir Aimed Self to Death
The unknown man, well dressed and likely a traveling salesman, was found dead on the Arlington reservoir bank. He shot himself through the left temple with a 32 calibre revolver beside him. A farewell letter and a small traveling valise with clothes, a silver watch, and $1.93 were recovered. An Sept 17 entry notes a new Sunday school scholar from St Albans. The finder, two water department workers, reported the scene.
