Sudden Death
Major Daniel S. Sutherland, late an officer in the United States Army, was found dead on Saturday morning in his room at the Metropolitan Hotel. He was lying upon the floor, completely dressed, in a pool of his own blood. Coroner Schirmer held an inquest, when, from an examination of the body and the evidence of two or three witnesses, it appeared that the night previous he had returned to this hotel at a late hour. On reaching the room, it would appear, he had vainly attempted to find the bed and in his efforts had fallen several times, striking his head against the corners and edges of the furniture, thus producing several wounds about his head, from which the blood flowed very freely.
The medical testimony showed that death was caused by hemorrhage and congestion of the membranes of the brain and a verdict to that effect was rendered. Deceased was a native of Philadelphia, 36 years of age and until recently, was an officer in the regular army. He served during the Mexican War and recently held the office of Paymaster, but on account of defalcations was cashiered. A letter found on his person showed that he had, within a few days, made application to the Governor of Pennsylvania, for an appointment as Colonel of one of the regiments of that States. He was a son of the Hon. J.B. Sutherland of Philadelphia.
