Fearing City's Lures, Youth Ends Life in Fulton Street Saloon
A young man aged about eighteen or nineteen shot himself in the saloon lavatory at 672 Fulton Street Brooklyn. He left a blurred signature letter confessing love for a girl in the valley, fear of New York’s temptations, and intent to die rather than face shame. He wore a blue suit and carried a Cortland hatter’s mark. The note, torn with incomplete words, spoke of remorse, religious appeals, and plans to leave the city. The revolver and fresh cartridges were found on him.
