DEAD IN A PULLMAN CAR.
Cloroform Saturated Handkerchief
on Face of Naval Seaman.
Bayard Thompson, 26 years old, a seaman, who recently received an honorable discharge from the United States cruiser Louisiana, was found dead in a Pullman car on a Santa Fe passenger train yesterday morning in the Union depot. A bottle of chloroform clasped in his hands and a saturated handkerchief across his face indicated suicide. Seventy-five dollars in money was found in his effects. He was on his way from San Francisco, Cal., to Greensboro, N. C., his old home.
Coroner George B. Thompson viewed the body yesterday afternoon. It lies at Carroll-Davidson's undertaking rooms awaiting word from Thompson's relatives.
