MASON JR. ENDS LIFE BY DRINK'G ACID BIDS GOODBYE TO AUNT AND FATHER BEFORE TAKING POISON Said to Have Become Addicted to Use of Strong Drink After His Wife Left Him and Went to Indiana Three Years Ago - Worry and Despondency Believed to Have Prompted Act. Thomas Mason, Jr., aged 32, committed suicide at the home of his aunt Miss Jennie Goodwin of 234 West Mulberry street about seven o'clock last night by drinking a two ounce bottle of carbolic acid. It is the opinion of Miss Goodwin that her nephew's action was impelled by worrying and despondency over the fact that three years ago he was abandoned by his wife who now lives in Indiana. Mason had become addicted to the use of intoxicating liquors and before taking the initial poison, he drank heavily yesterday afternoon Miss Goodwin stated this morning . The deceased man is a son of Thomas Mason Sr. of Sixth avenue, but for years made his home with his aunt. Until recently he was employ ed as a molder at the Kyle manufacturing plant in West Lancaster. Giving up his position there about three weeks ago, he went to Zanesville from which city he returned to Lancaster last Saturday. Yesterday afternoon Miss Goodwin observed that Tom was quite restless and towards evening he left her house asserting that he was going out to his father's home. It was after super time that Miss Goodwin was talking over the telephone to her nephew's father when Tom entered the room. His face wore a haggard expression and at a glance his aunt could tell that he had been drinking. Releasing her hold on the receiver Miss Goodwin turned to greet him and her nephew threw his arms around her as he cried. "Goodby aunt Jennie. I'm going to mother." "Don't say that, Tom", exclaimed Miss Goodwin." Here, talk to your father." Picking up the receiver that his aunt had dropped when her conversation was interrupted by his entrance to the room, Mason spoke to his father. "Goodbye, dad", he said. You will be able to see me tomorrow, but I won't see you." With that he hung up the receiver. Before his aunt could intervene, Tom had taken from his pocket a bottle of carbolic acid and in her presence swallowed the poison. Mason was dead within twenty minutes. This morning Miss Goodwin stated that three physicians were called but each in turn said that he was too busy to take the case. Besides his wife who is said to be living somewhere in Indiana, Mason is survived by his ten year old daughter Mary who makes her home with her grand parents, near Rockbridge. He also leaves his father, two brothers, George and Harley Mason, one sister Mrs. Jennie Craiglow and several half-brothers and half-sisters.
