Ezra Smith, aged 64 years, committed suicide, Tuesday evening, by shooting himself with a .32 caliber revolver at his home on Harden Street. The bullet entered the right side of the head, just over the ear, and passed through coming out over the left ear. Death is supposed to have been instantaneous. The act is supposed to have been due to the despondency. Mr. Smith having been cripple for a long time.
Mr. Smith went to his room early in the evening, carefully locking the doors heading to that apartment and shortly after a single shot was heard. Upon an investigation being made his lifeless body was found. Coroner F. E. Andrews was summoned and viewed the remains, but it is not probable that an inquest will be held.
Mr. Smith was a blacksmith by trade and conducted a shop on Church Hill for many years. He was a member of the Dirigo Lodge, A. O.U. W. The widow survive.
