The suicide had done a clean job, as 'the windpipe and iboth jugular veins were completely severed, the body being almost decapitated. The deed was done early yesterday morning, supposedly at 4 o'clock. An- aged invalid mother, who made her faome -with Stafford, was entirely ignorant of his death, until informed by neighbors, who made the ghastly find. Left Note to Mother. That Stafford had premeditated Iiis deed, is shown .by a note written to his mother, which was found by Undertaker Grossman, while preparing the body 'for burial. The note is as follows: , . "Well mother you twant Kit to have 500. You can give her whatever you please. When you die I want you to give all you 'have left to Kit. IMathei you get a deed. Give Frank nothing. Mother I can- live no longer. I told INfrrs. Yarrick. Don't leave Grossman bury me." Henry. Grossman Made Find.

to take charge of t'he undertaking. The "Kit" referred 'to in the note left by the dead man is a Mrs. Kit Shooks. a domestic who lived with Stafford and his mother. The "Frank" whom Stafford asked his mother to leave nothing to, is a brother, whose whereabouts is not known. The neighbors do not know who Mrs. Yarrick is. Domestic Troubles the Causev Neighbors of the de-ad man say that a domestic difficulty was the cause of the suicide.- Stafford had always taken care of his invalid mother, and was greatly attached to her. The family was in very poor circumstances, and lately a married sister of Stafford, who live at Zion City, wrote and insisted that her mother come and live with her. The daughter also instructed her mother to sell her cottage and bring the proceeds Avitli her. The Though-; of yarting with his mothe- a ltd Ksing the property is said to (be the cause of broodin" which resulted in Stafford's suicide. Livd at Argos for Many; Years. Henry. Stafford who suicided yesterday morning, had resided at Argos almost all of 'his life. With his mother iwho is 80 years old, he lived in a small cottage owned by the mother, in the soirfh part of the town. Stafford was uneducated, and was always considered queer: The body was first seen hanging partiy out of a front window by Christian Deer, a neighbor, .who passxl the house early in the morniivg on his way to iwork.
