. 8181‘ 0112111011 HIS LIFE
Suicide Of an English Millionaire’s
Son In New York City.
HE SWALLOWEDRAT POISON
Samuel E. 0. Newton Married an Actress
and Ills Family Cast Him Adrift.
I‘Vheu Dire Poverty Came, Ho
Determined to Kill Himself.
NEW YORK, March 13.—Because his
family had cut him off and he found him-
self penniless, depending upon his actress
wife ,for support, Samuel E. 0. Newton,
5011 of the millionaire former sheriff of
Hull, England, committed suicide early
today by poisoning himself at the Hotel
Warwick, Fortieth street and Broadway.
It was rat poison with which Newton
.1300): his life. He took a large dose of 1
in the middle of the night, and when the
. fact was discovered it was too late to save
mm.
His wife, formerly Miss Foote of Wash-
iington, a sister of Lawyer Charles E.
Foote of this city, and an actress. is almost
r-rostrated by 'her husband’s death.
It is said that it was on account of his
marriage with her that Newton’s family,
which is wealthy and proud, cut him off.
Young Newton was only 24 years old.
.He was a typical Englishman. 'For sev~
eral years prior to his marriage he had
been living the fast pace usually followed
'by young Englishmen whose families are
'wealthy and are willing to keep them well
supplied with funds. He went around
with a gay set, bet on‘ the races and, it is
..said, paid some attention to the gaming
table. ~
About a year ago he met Miss Foote.
She had been abroad for the last five years,
playing with Wilson Barrett and other
well known actors.
Young Newton fell in love with her,
and they were married. They staid in
England until about six weeks ago, when
they came to this country.
Mrs. Newton had no engagement then,
but she'hoped to get one short-1y. They
went to the Hotel Warwick, where they
took room 135.
Newton, according to his brother-in-
law, had some business transaction in
view out of which he hoped to make
money, but it did not develop. He had
some money when he came here, but he
spent it freely, and it soon gave out.
Meantime Mrs. Newton had secured an
engagement with “The Gay Manhattan”
company, which opens at Koster «Sc Bial’s
on Thursday, and in which she is cast as
Marguerite.
Folks Refuse Aid.
-When Newton’s money gave out, he ca-
bled to his folks in England. They refused
to aid him. He cabled again and again,
but each time he was met by a positive re-
fusal or by silence.
This made him despondent, but he con<
cealed his despondency, and last night he
appeared to be quite cheerful while taking
supper with friends. He and his wife re-
tired as usual. Mrs. Newton went to sleep.
Newton had, however, bought a box of
rat poison and concealed it in his room.
When he found his wife asleep, he got
up carefully, prepared a large dose of it
and drank it. Then he returned to bed.
Later on Mrs. Newton was awakened
by her husband’s moans. He was tossing
in agony and soon began to vomit. She
I got up, and as soon as she turned on the
gas she saw what the trouble was. She
rushed from the room. screaming for as-
sistaince.
Dr. Holmes of the Hotel Barrett was
summoned, but his efforts were unavail-
-‘ing. Newton died in great agony shortly
after his arrival. ~
The police of the West Thirtieth Street
station were notified, and they took charge
-.—of the body.
Lawyer Charles E. Footo, Mrs. Newton's
brother, was sent for at his home, 111 West
Seventy-fifth street. He remained with
his sister and will take charge of the fit
_ neral arrangements. He cabled Newton’s
family of his death.
It is likely that the body will be sent .to
England for burial.
A curious fact is that this is the second
suicide that Mr. FootIe has been connected
with within one month. his law partner,
Mr. Lawson, having killed himself only a
few weeks sine-s.
An Adirondack Freshet.
WATERTOWN, March 18.—The continued
rain and-the melting of snow in the Adi-
rondacks have swollen the sffigams leading
from that section and Black-river passing
through this city into a rushing torrent.
The streams tributary to Black river are
overflowing their banks and the spring
freshet, that one year ago carried away
mills and houses and ruined acres of land,
is at hand. ‘
Trying to Oust Plngree.
LANSING, Michq-r March 13.—The su-
preme court heard arguments on an order
for Attorney General Maynard to show
cause why he should not be required to
file a petition for the ousting of Governor"
Pingree from the office of mayor of De-
troit. The attorneygeneral contended that
the prosecuting attorney at Detroit, if any
Liquor Licenses For Clubs.
TORONTO, March 13.—The temperance
legislation before the local legislature is
not stringent enough to please the prohi-
bitionists. A large deputation waited
upon Premier Hardy and in’ forcible lan-
guage told him what it wanted. It is
said that to conciliate the temperance vote
Mr. Hardy will put all clubs under the
liquor license act.
The Mexican hilssion.
‘ST. LOUIS, March 13.—Powell Clayton
passed through St. Louis on his return p111“
from Washington. He was asked if he was 5
to be minister to Mexico. “Yes,” he said. y I
“I have reason to believe that the presi-
dent will appoint me to succeed Mr. Ban-
som as minister to Mexico.”

ALBANY. March 13.—Senator Ford’s bill
providing for the immediate payment by
cities of money due liquor sellers for rebate
on the termination last April of old liquor
licenses has passed the assembly and now
goes to the governor.
