C.J. STEEDMAN KILLS HIMSELF IN PARIS
PARIS - May 3, Despondency is ascribed as the reason for the suicide here last night at the Hotel de L'Orient of Charles J. STEEDMAN, of New York and Philadelphia, a son of Rear-Admiral STEEDMAN.
STEEDMAN and his wife, daughter of an ex-Governor of Rhode Island, reached here, accompanied by a little girl, on April 30. They had just completed a tour in an automobile with Senator and Mrs. ALDRICH, of Rhode Island.
STEEDMAN is said to have been drinking heavily of late and this caused his despondency. When left alone a few moments last night he secured a revolver and shot himself in the mouth, the bullet entering the brain. He was found sitting bolt upright in a chair with the gun at his feet.
Arrangements were made to-day to ship the body to the United States.
