The fact that he had taken the fetal position, we understand, was discovered before his death, but too late to obtain relief. He died surrounded by his wife, and children, near friends and relatives residing in the vicinity. It is reported with what degree of truth we are unable to say that he attributed as the cause "that whiskey had used him up." If so, it is another murder at the door of the respectable assassins of the saloon; and if he did not make the remark, we fear it might have been truthfully made. The truth there is scarcely a murder or a suicide in the land that would have occurred but for the use of whiskey.
