PREMEDITATED SUICIDE Edward Monier, an old barber at Lords- burg, who had been quite ill for some time, finally decided that the pistol route was the shortest way out. Suiting the action to his thoughts, he placed the muzzle of his pistol to his ear and took his departure. The old man was methodical in all his arrangements, going so far as to leave minute directions as to the indivduals whom he desired to act as jurors at the coroners inquest.
