Despondent Employee Shoots Self at Johnson House
Charles B. Mott, 27, a trusted Lagomarcino & Co. salesman, killed himself in Washington after a despondent mood. He bought a revolver at a hardware store, was seen quiet and despondent, and was found dead in his bed. He left no clear reason, though he was financially sound and had just planned an outing to fish. Local news notes his popularity and a Brighton game incident, then moves to a church entertainment and a catarrh cure ad.
