Remarkable death by own action at Palmer House
A 22-year-old Fred A. Jeffrey of Syracuse N Y killed himself at the Palmer House in Chicago in a posited act of suicide after preparing trunks letters and a poison-tinted drink. The scene featured a bloodied bathroom a gun and razor and two letters one to the Palmer House proprietor and another to the Chicago Times. Authorities note possible insanity and the hotel owner cites the suicide as the cause of death in a meticulous arrangement before death. The episode concludes with a public reaction scene unrelated to the tragedy and a later report about the Declaration presentation at a separate event.
