A DETERMINED SUICIDE.

Drowned in Four Foot of Water. (BY TELEGBAI'H—OWN CORRESPONDENT.) Wellington, thiß day. The suicide of the commercial traveller, Win. Martin, is remarkable for the deter mination with which the poor fellow carried out hie task of making away with himself. Ho seems to have been dismissed from his employment under circumstances which carried with them some degradation, and then finding there was ho chance of regaining his situation be eet his affairs in order, proceeded to a small creek, stripped, and deliberately laid down in four feet of water. In his pocket there was a _ letter addressed to bis housekeeper, Mrs , Moore, directing ber to look in a certain drawer, the key of which was enclosed. The drawer was found to contain a memor andum of "last wishes," several letters ad dressed to friends end relatives,and a memo, which ran as follows :—" If I do not return to-morrow night I shall be no more. Look fcr me where the dear children and I went ferning in the gully at the farthest reservoir." Deceased also wrote to his employer in the following terms :— " One more trial in the morning. If I fail I shall take my life* I can not face the disgrace. My children I must leave to God's mercy. I fully in tended to do this on Sunday night. With this will bo found a letter to Mis Moore, in ' which I aek her to continue her care oE the children until a reply from my sister, to whom I have written : .' Will you come home at my expense, and should money ba required before the insurance is paid, will you advance it? Farewell.'"< It will be noticed that though Martin was usually a methodical man, the information as to where the body would be found was locked up in a drawer, the key of which could -not be obtained until the body was discovered. The jury returned a verdict of , "Suicide while of unsound mind.'' The deceased had insured his life for £500, and leaveß his property to his - five doubly orphaned children. '
