Shot through the head
Abraham Abrahams deliberately planned to die
Put on clean linen, shaved himself, made pillow of cones, held a mirror in left hand and with the right fired a revolver--wife found him dead
Abraham Abrahams committed suicide this morning at his cigar factory, No. 308 East Jefferson street, by shooting himself in the head. He lived at No. 306. Mr. Abrahams had acted strangely for some time. He had a small shop where he made cigars. At about 11 o'clock this morning Mrs. Abrahams went to the New York Central station with her father, Julius Jacobs, who was going to New York. She returned and at noon got dinner ready. Then she called her husband. He did not respond, and going into the shop, she found him lying on the linen dead. Mr. Abrahams was cleanly shaven and --- and had on clean linen too. It was evident that he had prepared for death. He lay in a little back room off of the shop. Under his head were two mats. His right hand clutched a revolver, and in the other hand was a mirror. The bullet had entered the right side of his head and had gone clear through, coming out on the left side. His head lay in a pool of blood.
Mrs. Abrahams comprehended in a moment what had happened, and going in the house adjoining called Rosa Winchell. The police and Coroner D. F. Mathews were notified. Detective Daniel Lee and Patrolman Michael Daley were sent to the shop. Detective Lee saw that it was a clear case of suicide. Patrolman Daly had considerable trouble in keeping the crowd back. Mr. Abrahams was 55 years old, and leaves four children, Alonzo, Rebekah, Reuben and Florence. He owned considerable real estate in the neighborhood of his shop.
