Drowns Himself in a Vat.
A. E. McMillan, a Millwright, Carefully Plans His Suicide.
Albert E. McMillan, aged forty-two, a millwright employed at the Star elevator at Sixth avenue north and First street, drowned himself in a vat of water under the sidewalk at an early hour yesterday morning.
He planned his destruction with great deliberation. After attending a dance he wrote two letters, one to his wife and one to the foreman of the elevator.
Then he went out on the sidewalk, removed his overcoat, coat, vest and hat, lifted the cover of the vat and after attaching one end of a rope to his waist and the other to a telegraph pole plunged in.
He was found shortly after 4 o'clock by the elevator watchmen.
McMillan had been employed about the elevator for eighteen years and was considered a good workman and his fellow employes are at a loss to account for his suicide. He worked as usual Monday and appeared to be in the best of spirits. He attended a dance at night, but no one has been found who saw him alive after midnight.
McMillan lived at 1312 Twenty-first avenue north and leaves a widow and two children. The funeral will be held from the residence at 2 o'clock this afternoon. The interment will be at Crystal Lake cemetery.
