. Sitting In a Chair He Sent a Pis-
tol Ball Crashing through
His Head Back of Ear.
From Monday's Dally. .
At half past five o'clook this
morning Tom Welch, well known
to nearly every ope in Orange,
sitting in a. chair in his room at
the home of his sister. Mrs.
Alva Clay Bravo, sent a ^bullet
crashing through hisybrain and
-expired in about half an hour,
without uttering a word.
Thomas Welch was {arty-two
years of age and is well known
here, having for many years
pasrt been employed in the mill
at Orange. Pora number of
years he has been in ill «health,
and despondency-over his condi-
tion is supposed to have preyed
upon his mind until it caused
him to commit this rash act and
hurl his soul suddenly into eter-
nity.
Immediately after the tragedy
Judge J: Ball was summoned
and held an inquest over the
body of the young man, who was
still breathing when he arrived
and expired within a few minu-
tes. After questioning those in
the house and máUffhg a thorough
investigation, Judge Ball arriv-
ed at a verdict, which was that
deceased came to his death from
a pistol shot inflicted by himself
with suicidal intent. .
Deceased was sitting in a chair
in front of a small table^upon
which stood a looking glaro. On
the table was a bottle of oil and
cloths, and the pistol was greasy,
indicating that he bad cleaned
and oijed the weapon jüst before
using it with such fatal results.
Deceased was a member in

(Yesterday morning just before
the hour for the morning ser-
vices at Meth odist church a dark

was a native of Tangier, Moroc
co. his parents and all his people
being Mohammedans. He stated
that his father sent him to this
country nine years ago to be

ligion under the preaching of
Bishop Coke Smith, of the

church, was now. going back to
his home in Morocco as a mis-

recommendations from several
bishops of the Methodist church
and a number of well known
Methodist pastors. Rev. Cunn-
ingham granted him the privir
lege of making a short address
to tbecongregatiou, aftfcr which
a collection was taken up to as-

called on Dr. Horoe, represent
ed himself as being a convert to
the ichristian religion in the
Presbyterian church, giving the
name of one the most prominent
Presbyterian divines in the
United States, under whose
preaching he had been convert-
ed, and displaying a number of
endorsements and recommenda-
tions signed by Presbyterian
ministers at dliferent points
thj-ougbofct the country..To Mr.
Home he staged that he was
endeavoring ta raise sufficient
money to attend college for two
more years to complete bis
course and that then he was go-
ing back home as a missionary.
Hispápers were regular in every
way and his endorsements were
signed by prominent men in tfl|^
ministry, but Mr. Home was
suspicious of the sincerity of
the bearer and after testing him
in several ways this suspicion
grew~ into a certainty and he
declined to keep""him. When he
learned last night {hat the man
bad returned here and imposed
upon the Methodist he immedi-
ately notified Mr. Cunningham.
Efforts were made last night
to communicate with the pastors
linBeaumout and put them on
guard against the impostor.
How be lias succeeded in pulling
the wool over the eyes of so
many of the leading men of the
two churches is a mystery, un-
less, indeed, his papers, which
bear every mark of genuineness,

Tbis is the second time within
the past few months that tb e
pastors of tbe Methodist and
Presbyterian churches in Orange
have been victimizedor attempt-
ed to be Victimized by clever
swindlers.
The talk made by the for-
eigoer at the Methodist 'church
yesterday morning was quite
interesting and entertaining
and no one in *tbe congregation

The horses and vehicles were
all removed from Bland'sstable,

Everything was carried out of

wife bad a very ageravated
cough, which kept her awake
nights. Two physicians could
.not help her; so she took Dr
