Mr. Pulllam was in his odice yester-
day attcndlng to the business or the
league and went to his room at the
Athletic Club last evening. The first
indication that anything was wrong
with him came when at 9: 80 o'clock :1
signal from the telephone in his room
was thrown upon the switchboard in
the clubrooms. The operator respon-
ded. but receiving no response, sent
a messenger to Mr. Pulllam‘s room to
ascertain the trouble. Mr. Pulllam
was found lying on the lloor. dressed
only in his underciothing and with r:
bullet wound through his head. The
telephone receiver apparently had
been knocked oil its book when he tell
alter firing the fatal shot. A revolver
lay on the door near. The club phyci-
clan was called. but there was little
he could do to relieve the patient. A
coroner was summoned and be attemp-
ted to obtain a statement from the dy-
ing man, but without avail. .
To all questions as to how he was
shot Mr. Pulliam, who was then in u
semi-conscious condition. replied that
he did not. understand. and asked
"What shot?" He soon became uncon-
scious, but later revived a little and
complained that his head achcd and
asked the attendants to rub It. No
note. or other explanation oi the sui-
clde was found In the room. A Huron
was summoned and the wound was
bandaged. As usual in cases of a:-
tempted suicide, the police stationed
a man at the rooms and technically
the wounded man was under arrest. ‘
Throughout the-slight Mr. Pulliarn
lingered in a semi nsciona condition.

came imbued with the idea that the
league magnates were persecutlns

alleged bribers were made public the
sport of baseball was doomed.

rose in his chair and began a bitter
tirade against the League omcials. His
condition was apparent and his
friends. among them Gerry Hermann
and Barney Dre use, who had kept
him in the pro eacy. obtained for
him an indefinite leave of absence.
