Eads, public relations man for the brewing company, said that he believed ill health was the reason for Busch's act. Eads said that Busch had been suffering from ill health for sev- j eral months. Busch killed himself in his room on the sec mid floor of his mansion , on Grant's Tarin. his palatial es- . state. It once belonged to Presi- > dent U. S. Grant, where the Civil I War general chopped trees for a living and hauled them to St. Louis | for sale. The chauffeur. Tony Feichringer.: a maid, and Busch’s cousin. John - Busch, were in the room a few min-1 utes before the brewer ended his life. The chauffeur said, "he told us all to go to breakfast, and then asked me to remain, close the door and I'isten to the radio.” "The others had left the room and he asked me to close the double doors leading to his wife’s room adjoining.” Feichringer said. 1 "He asked me to turn on the
