A darling one from us has gone.
A voice we loved is stilled.
A place is vacant in our home,
That never can be filled.

Finds Her Son's Body With Bullet In Head
Mother of Angus P. Allen Unable to Suggest Cause for His Suicide
When Mrs. Burgess, wife of an employee of the Firth-Stirling Steel Company returned to her home, at 405 11th street southeast, shortly before 1 o'clock this afternoon she saw the dead body of her son, Angus P. Allen, twenty-one years old, stretched across the bed. Near him she saw the glistening steel of a revolver. There was a bullet hole over his left ear.
Young Allen had committed suicide about 11 o'clock, the police learned. His body was cold when found. James Burgess, a night watchman residing in the house adjoining the Allen home, and other neighbors heard the report of the weapon.
Thought Noise a Tire Explosion
"Probably an automobile tire exploded" suggested one of the neighbors who hears it, while another said the noise sounded as if it were made by the slamming of a door.
Mrs. Allen, near a collapse, summoned neighbors, who remained with her until the police and relatives arrived.
Capt. Mulhall and Sergt. Ryon visited the house and searched the room, but found nothing to indicate suicide had been contemplated.

Young Allen was employed in a lunchroom on 9th street opposite the Center market, the police were told, and he probably had been at his place of employment this morning. Mrs. Allen was unable to suggest any
cause for her son's act.
