"I haven't got but five or eight dollars to my name," he said to Sergt. Daley, who was in charge of the station. "Then I suppose I'll have to let you go upon your promise to appear," said the sergeant. Lieut. Hollinberger entered the station just about that time, and, as DeAtley was a business man, he directed his release upon his pledge to appear in court that morning. DeAtley's only conversation in the station was about the license and his poverty. Upon the lieutenant assuring him he would not lock him up, the accused man was extremely grateful, and when he left he started in the direction of his house. Instead of stopping to see his wife and children, however, he went to the saloon and entered by way of the south door. Persons standing on the street saw him enter, but no light was seen afterward and the incident was forgotten. All was quiet in the place when the men on the corner moved away, but a few minutes afterward a watchman in the neighborhood named Blake heard what he thought was the report of a pistol shot. As such noises are frequently heard about the river front he paid no attention to it. The morning brought to DeAtley's family the news of the death of the father and husband. When he did not return home at midnight, Mrs. DeAtley bcame very uneasy, but she decided to make no inquiry until morning. Policeman Bruce, who was on the beat near the saloon and house, suspected something wrong when the saloon remained closed until after the usual hour, and made inquiries. Soon after 6 o'clock he met Mrs. DeAtley at the front door of the saloon. A sign that had been put up against the door to hide his body was pushed aside and the arm of the man fell to the floor. The Discovery Mrs. DeAtley screamed and the officer took her to her home, going immediately thereafter to his own home and directing his wife to call at the DeAtley house. Bruce then returned to the saloon, broke open the door and went inside. There on the floor was the dead body of DeAtley. The pistol was on the floor near his head, and there was a big pool of blood between the body and the door. DeAtley had gone behind a partition at one end of the bar, and after removing his coat had stretched himself out on an oyster sign, using an old shirt for a pillow. He was in this position when the fatal shot was fired. The deceased was 38 years old, and was born in Westmoreland county, Va. His father, J.C. DeAtley, keeps a grocery store on 7th street southwest, while a brother is in the saloon business on Pennsylvania avenue. Coroner Carr viewed the body and gave a certificate of death. The remains were then turned over to an undertaker and prepared for burial.
