THE WELLINGTON SUICIDE.

A YOUNG MAN'S SAD END,

Further particulars to hand of the suicide of Charles Taylor Upham at Wellington on Monday last state that the deceased's age <w»s 22 years. Harry Upham, his brother, Reposed at the inquest that on Monday afternoon he met deceased in the street. He (Charles), was walking along with his hands in his pocket, and was muttering something when witness overtook him. Witness asked him where lie was going to, and he said "Tea." After a whilo Charles walked away, and their mother ran in the direction ho had gone. Witness thought he saw Charles going into a friend's house in George-street, and witness and his mother rar. up to the house. Some people called them back, but before they got to their own house they heard a report from the grounds. On going in they saw Charles lying down at one corner of the house. Charles was rather queer at times, usually about the end of the month. Witness did not. know of his own knowledge that his brother had threatened to poison himself about this time last year, but since his death he hnd learned something to that effect. Charles went, into the Gage's on Monday, but they did not know that he had taken the carbine. Charles was at one time a member .of the Thorndon Rifles, and had cartridges in. his possession. Be fore he ."hot himself Charles wrote witness a note warning him against hotels, and telling him to treat his brothers and sister Tnndly. The carbine must have been taken from the Gage's early in the day and hidden under the treee in his mother's garden. • In one of the pockets of the deceased a note was found. It was written in pencil on a sheet of paper bearing the Australian •Mutual Provident Society's heading, and ■was a°s follows:—"I have killed myself owing to money [the word ' financial' had •been partly written and crossed out] troubles. My name is Charles Taylor Up ham. I live in Tinakori Road." On another side of the paper, written less legibly, and apparently in haste, are these few words— "Jmeba man coming-down the hill. Ho eoid, ' Are you going toshoot hares ?' I said, ' Yes ; a bijrone. , " The letter which Upham sent to Mr Clapham was posted, and was an follows :— _" Dear Mr Clapham—By the time you re ceive tide, I will be no more. Look for me | in the shed on Curtis' Hill or behind the ehed. I intend to kill my.«elf with Gage's carbine. Return the carbine to him. You will find a lot of letters to be delivered in the shirtbox under my bed. I can stand this life no longer. Pray for me if I am not past praying for. I. have been leading a bad life, and 1 am better out of the way. Tell my uncle, Mr , to look after mamma and the family. I went up to-dny and got my portrait taken at. the New Zealand Portrait Studio, in Cuba-street; I gob three taken for 4s. They will bescnt to , care of you. Give one to ~ J , and the other two —one to mamma, and one to . I am filling the mater and J- by ray conduct, and am sick of the world. Toll Mr — and Mr if Spiritualism be true I will visit them, and let them know the truth. Have me buried with Ranga ; he died five years ago, and by jip-nighfc I will be with I

him. Good-bye, the only friend I had got. Mv money for salary is also under my bed. Good-bye. —Charles Taylor Ufham. May God have mercy on mo!" The Coroner, in summing up the evidence, said that although the atluir looked pre meditated, the deed was evidently com mitted while the young man was suffering from a tit of temporary insanity. The jury at onco returned a verdict of suicide whilst temporarily insane.
