Suicide of a Bank Clerk.
[PBB 7BEBB ASSOCIATION. 1 Dunedin, December 17. At Mosgiel this morning a young man named Aristides Verrall Brown, clerk in the National Bank, committed suicide by shooting himself in the bead with a revolver. He had got out of bed, partly clothed himself, bandaged his eyes with a handkerchief, and discharged the revolver close to the right ear. The bullet passed right through his head, and death must have been nearly instantaneous. He was about 24 years of age, and was a sou of the Rev William Parton Brown, now of Dunedin, formerly of Waikaia. Nothing is known as to the reason for tbe rash act. His books are all right, iv fact he bad only been relieving in tho Bank for a week. About two years ago a brother of the deceased was found dead on the Riverton beach under circumstances strongly indicating suicide.
