garian Suffering from an
lncurable Cancer. Decided
c, to End his Existence-Body
found by Iwo fishermen
Andrew Pasteur. a Hungarian. sixty
years old, until recently employed at
Martin Baton, Jr., and Company's plant.
and living at 3 Ely avenue. after learn-
Ing that he was suffering from an In«
curable .cancer. committed suicide by
drowning himself In the river. His
body was found this morning floating
near Peach Island.
This morning bright and early Char-
les (tray and Frank Middleton startod
down the harbor in a skill for the pur-
pose of going fishing. They were row-
lug along with the outgoing tide. when
they happened to see floating In the
water what appearcd to be the body of
a man. They rowed nearer to It and
found that their conjectures were cor-
rect. A slip noose was passed over
the bend of the corpse and It was tow-
cd to this city. When found he was
holding a cane tightly clenched in
his right hand.
City Sheriff Goodwin was notified at
police headquarters of the find, and
proceeded to the whnrves after notify-
iug Medical Examiner S. H. Hunting-
ton. The medical examiner gave ord-
ers that the body be taken to the float
ill Drawtcuder Cole‘s house on the
Washington street bridge.
Undertaker David W. Raymond was
called and took the body to his under-
taking rooms, where it was Identified
by a number of Hungarians who live in
Sprluguood The corpse from its
appearance had only been In the water
a few days and an Investigation Is now
being made by Medical Examiner
Iluntington to see when Pasteur's dis-
,appearnucc was first noted by the pcoé
pic living at 8 Ely avenue.
Pasteur was employed at Martin
Bates Jr._ A: Company's some two
years. About one year ago a cancer
developed on his lowcn’llp and Was
treated by Dr. W B. Bonn w tb X rlyl.
and apparently entirely cured. He dis-
continued treatment. however. and the
cancer recurred.
Pasteur was addicted to drink and
would go-on sprees for one and two
Widthkfl at a time. About six months
ago he left his work, and left his bank
book. containing a small deposit In the
South Norwalk Trust Company, with
I“. A. Smith, superintendent, with an
order- to use the money from time to
time in caring for him. and for his
burial In case of death. Ilia-Smith bus
furnished him with small amounts
from time to time. and has sufficient to
pay the burial expenses.
Pasteur had but on»: leg, and was in-
duce to save some part of his earn-
lugs and get enough together to buy an
artificial leg with. When sober he
was Industrious and quiet at his work,
and always listened to the advice of
his employer.
After a consultation between Drs.
Cronin and Huntington, it was decid-
ed to send Pasteur to the almshouse.
but he only stayed In that Institution
for a short time. He then became very
dt-spondent. and told a number of his
friends that. he did not care to live
any longer and that he thought the
best way out of his trouble was to com-
mit suicide.
After an examination of the body.
Medical Examiner Huntington stated
that there was no doubt that death was
due to suicidal drowning. So far as
could be learned the man had no rel-
ativea in this" country.
