McLURE, Agnes
Another Suicide
Coroner Wilhelm held an inquest on the body of Agnes McLure, No. 286 Tenth-avenue, who committed suicide by taking an over dose of laudanum. From the testimony of her husband and daughter, it appears she had been in the habit of partaking rather freely of liquor. She had often threatened to take her life by drowning. Last Sunday she told the family that she would not be with them the next. After taking the laudanum, which, it appeared, had been drank in the street, she came into the house, sat down beside the bed, and commenced to vomit. She was put to bed, and fell into a sleep, from which she never awakened. Before being put to bed she bid her daughter good bye. [The New York Times, June 8, 1855. Transcribed by Melissa Rodriguez]

MORAN | GIBBONS
Two Young Men Found Dead Locked in Each Other's Arms.
New York, Dec, 5.—That two young men who were found dead to-day, locked in each other's arms, entered into an agreement to commit suicide simultaneously by gas is the belief of the police. The men were James Gibbons and James Moran, the former of whom had been employed as a penman at the St. Louis Exposition. Their bodies lay in a small room on the top of a Second avenue house. According to the information gained by the police. Gibbons hired the room a short time ago under an assumed name, and Sunday while he and Moran were at his home he was reproached by his mother for dissipated habits. The youth assured her that she would not have cause to chide him much longer. The room was thick with gas fumes when the young men's non-appearance today led to an investigation, and all possible openings to outside air had been stuffed with pieces of newspapers.
