Him to Death

BOSTON Mass March 29 ChickStahl captain and former manager ofthe Boston American League baseballteam has loft an unsolved mystery inhis sudden suicide Today his strickenwife Is spectra toward West BadenInd where his body is lying with thiscry on her Ups

I could have saved him if I had beenthere

One question is on the tongue of theentire baseball world today Whjr didStahl take his own

In the opinion of many of those closestto the dead ball player something morethan worry over baseball must havedriven him to his death

If I had gone with him said MrsStahl this would never have happened-Oh Chick You wanted me to go withyom she cried despairingly but Ithought it would be better for me tostay here in Boston and watt for youIf I had only been with you those nightswhen you were tossing about sleeplesslywith wide open eyes Then you wouldhave had somebody to confide in OhChick you worry over little thingsthings nobody else would have botheredabout It is all my fault all my faultI ought to have been with you but it istoo late now too late

Brooded on Secret TroubleFor some time Stahl had been brood-

ing over some secret trouble declarehis friends and now they ask Whatwas it

He had never so far s s knownshown any signs of insanity He hadreached the height of baseball famehis home life was apparently happybut these facts only deepen the mysteryof the tragedy There is a belief thatStahl had long since dwelt on theproblem of cutting short his life elsewhy did he continually talk about itto the members of the team And thequestion Is unanswered

At Louisville Stahl said to Dineenone morning while rubbing himself with-a solution of carbolic acid I wonderif this stuff would kill a man

Would it reponded Dineen Why-a spoonful would kill a doses men

good drink of it continued StaM-Dineen looked at him and said How

would your mother or your wife likethat kind of news

Chick shook his head and answeredThats so Bill it would kill my

mother f

Although not a man who often talkedreligion brought the subjectagain and in Little Rock and wentto holy communion while there Stahlsfriends admit that it was naturalthat a man carrying suc ha responsibil-ity would have some but Stahlwas too sensible and levelheaded theysay to let that drive him to death

Life Apparently HappyMoreover he had on Monday last

been relieved of the greater part hisresponsibilities and everything seemedto be running along smoothly

The members of the Boston team werewith him to a man The owner of theclub had implicit faith in him and hisability to handle a great ball team

a big salary was lately wed to abright Boston girl and apparently wasat peace with all the world

The faet that Stahl had ordered hisfellowplayers to practice had donnedhis own uniform and apparently fullyintended to Join them up to the verymoment he put the bottle of deadly acidto his only deepens the mystery

What thought came into his mindthat overcame his resistance tothe impulse that had seemingly longbeen calling to him to end his isThe question his friends are asking todayAnd no one can answer
