is believed he committed suicide. as
all of the windows and doors in the
house were closed and a gas jet in
the stove and another on the wall
nxturs were tumsd on.

The man had been in ill health for
some time and. according to neigh-
bors. was unable to work. Hs'had
stated several times. it was learn-
ed. that he was going to kill him-
self.

direction of the Andonella. home
this morning and informed Letter
Carrier John Byrnee who was mak-
ing his routs et'thet tints. He wont.
to the home and upon opening the
door found Andoneila sitting in a
chair dead with the two gas jets
wide open. He called the down-
town police headquarters aud Pa-
trolman Edward Williams was sent
to the house and conducted an in-
vestigatlon.

Andonella and his wife moved to
_the Snowden avenue house about
,two months ago. coming to this
city from Jersey City. Mrs. An-
donella. has been working in a
Washington street garment factory
since that time. but Andonella has
been unable to work. He' stated
to neighbors shortly after he moved
here that he was going to kill him-
self and expressed the wish for gas
in his home. He had gas installed
in the house about a month ago.

Mrs. Andonella stated to the po-
lice this morning that she had not
been at home last night. as her hus-
bedn came home intoxicated and
drove her out. She was not surpris-
ed to learn that he had committed
suicide as he had told her ho was
going to do so several times.

Evidently Andonella did not go to
bed last night as the bed had not
been slept in. He was fully cloth-
ed when discovered. He had rs-
vcd his shoes. There was a cut
on his. nose and it appeared as if
he had fallen last night.

Andonelle had taken out insurance
on his life in July and had named
his wife as the beneficiary.

Tracey viewed the body and gave
permission for its removal.
