SUICIDED TO AVOID CAPTURE

WAS BY THE SIDE OF HIS MISTRESS
Out of Jail Under Suspension of 1'eiiltontlnrj
Kcnlcncc , Ha Win Wnuted Again for
forgery III * bettor to
Uolllo idwar : U.
Earl Oonilon commuted suicide In room
42 of the Dodge European hotel , corner
of Thirteenth nncl Dodge streets , yesterday.
Uver since Wednesday morning the city
detectives had been hunting for Oondon , who
was wanted by the police for forgery. During
the forenoori Detectives Dunn and Donahuo
located their man at the hotel above men
tioned and rapped on the door. Qondon an
swered , but did not open the door. He asked
the detectives If they had a warrant. They
told him "No , " but said that there was a
warrant at police headquarters. Condon re
fused to open the door until an officer with a
warrant came , BO Detective Donahuo was left
on watch while Dunn telephoned to Chief De
tective Haze. This took some little time al
most an hour. When Haze appeared he stated
to Qondon that ho was the man with the war
rant and wanted to get Into the room. Oon
don still refused and Haze proceeded to kick
down the door. Just as Haze made his last
kick the report of a pistol was heard and as
the door flew open the three detectives saw
Oondon fall. He held a revolver In his
right hand. The bullet entered the head
about an Inch above the right ear. A physi
cian was summoned. Ho looked'at the
suffering man and stated that death would
como In a very few minutes and suggested to
Chief Ilnzo that the coroner bo notified. Maul
was sent for , but when ho arrived the man
was still living.
WAS EXPECTING AIIUEST.
Dollle Edwards , a woman of the town , was
In the room with Condon. She stated that
Oondon had told her during the night that
the police wtrc after htm and that ho must bo
on the lookout. As the officers were kicking
In the door he leaned over the bed and kissed
her , and then quickly turning away shot him
self. Detective Haze ordered the woman held
and she was sent to pol'ce ' headquarters and
placed In the matron's charge to await an In
vestigation.
Up to noon Oondon had not expired , and
upon the- advice of Dr. Towne , the patrol
wagon was called and the patient removed tc
tlio Presbyterian hospital , Drains were
oozing out of the wound , and the flow of
blood could not be stopped.
Warrants were Issued Wednesday out of the
police court for his arrest for passing a
worthless check for $25 on Nicholas Yager ,
but he escaped.
He was released from the county jail a
few days ago on a suspension of sentence
that was to last during good behavior. Al
the last term of the district court ho was
tried for burglary and sentenced to the pen
itentiary for six years. Up to the end of last
September he was In the employ of Straight
& Howe , commission merchants , at Eleventh
and Howard streets. At that time the firm
was robbed of $15. The money was taken
out of the safe. A short , time later another
sum was taken. As Oondon had the key
of the store and knew the combination of the
safe he was suspected , and on the strength
of the suspicion was arrested , but not prose
cuted. A few days later the store was again
entered , the safe was opened and nearly $50
taken. When the proprietors came down the
doors were found locked , and so was the
safe. Condon was arrested , and before he
had reached the station ho * confessed that he
was the man who. had committed the rob
bcrlcs , Hi the last Instance he crawled
through a. cellar window , opened the safe
with" life combination , and after he had taken
the money closed It again. On trial he was
found guilty and sentenced , but sentence was
suspended.
The police think Oondon preferred death
to serving out his former sentence and the
one ho would get for passing a worthless
check.
HIS MIND WAS MADE UP.
In searching Condon's clothing letters were
found. In which ho stated that he Intended
to commit suicide. In them ho exonerated
everybody from any blame In connection with
the affair.
Dolllo Edwards , the woman In the case ,
has been the cause of five men committing , ot
attempting to commit suicide.
Condon died at 2:30 : yesterday afternoon
After the Edwards woman had been locked
up a letter was handed her from Oondon ,
which had been mailed on Wednes
day , but written on Monday night ,
the same night that Oondon wrote to hi !
father. In the letter Condon signified his
firm Intention of putting an end to his life
as the police officers were "chasing hot" aftei
him. His chief reason for the deed seemed tc
be , however , the fact that he did not have
money enough to leave town with Dolly anil
marry her , as ho could not see her leading
n life ot tin. The letter was very affection
ate , one. scntenco reading thus : "During tin
last month I have learned to love you as 1
never loved before. " The woman and Con
don appeared to have both talked over sul
elding , as the letter frequently urges tha
she should not be so foolish as to kill herself
although ho had set her such a bail1 exam
pic. The forgery Is admitted , and the lettei
read : "If Scott Is still o\\ the bench I wll
surely get twenty years. " A postscript tha
was written on the following day , asked he ;
( o come and kiss him after ho was dead. "
will know who It Is. Good-bye. Good-bye. "
The woman was closely watched last night
as she appeared to be desperate , and It wa
feared that she might attempt to kill herself
She states that on Wednesday night Oondoi
did not sleep a wink , and took up the re
volver teveral times , but she each time pre
vented him from using It.
The Inquest over the body of Condon wll
bo held > today at 2 o'clock ?

Elder John Dyers had been well known In

emonstrato that It was not the wisdom of
his world that was acceptable with God.

Arriving In Omaha from Canada In 1867 he
pened a largo boot and shoo store where

ivent up In flame anil left him nearly
tranded.
Honest , Industrious and persevering , he
ipened a shoe shop , and with his own , hands
wrought at the trade he had so thoroughly
earned In his youth. There are many In
Omaha today who remember the good work
urned out by John Byers from the little shop
ipposlte the postoftlce.
Thoroughly converted to God , ho there
