A young man arrived in Pulaski last Tuesday morning on the 7:50 train and put up at the Tennessee House, registering his name as A. G. Ewing, Nashville. He called for breakfast and immediately thereafter went out to the nearest saloon and took three or four drinks of whisky, thence going to J. L. Pearcey's drug store and procuring three fourths of a pound of chloroform. He came back to the hotel and called for a room, saying that he was tired and sleepy and wished to take a nap. He was shown to a room, into which he went, locking the door after him. He did not make his appearance at dinner, and nothing strange was thought of it, as he was supposed to be still asleep.- Nothing more was thought of him until after supper, when Mr. Jackson, the proprietor, thought proper to awake him and accordingly sent up to have it done. The clerk came back and said that he could not wake him and could not effect an entrance into the room. Mr. Jackson then went up and bursted the door open and found him lying in the bed dead from the effects of chloroform he had administered to himself. The suicide seeins to have been premeditated and determined. as every precaution was taken that the chloroform should perform its work. He had placed his overcoat against the door to exclude the air which might enter under it and had stuffed his handkerchief into the key hole. He then lay down upon the bed and covered himself up well, and taking the slips from three pillows that were in the room, folded them nicely and saturated them with chloroform, laying them upon his face, and then placed over his head an inverted washbowl, thus effectually retaining all the fumes of the deadly liquid. A jury of inquest was immediately empannelled by Esq. W. H. Abernathy, acting Coroner, who returned a verdict that the deceased came to his death by his own hand, maturely and deliberately. Upon his person was found nine dollars and fifty five cents, and a note saying that he committed the act deliberately, that life was miserable and suicide justifiable in his case. The deceased was the son of Randal Ewing, dec'd, and formerly lived on White's Creek, Davidson county. He was about thirty years of age, and had about his person tools and material indicating that he was a clock mender. He was a member of a cavalry company from Marshall county in the Confederate army and was wounded at Fort Pillow during Forrest's raid upcn that place, the wound necessitating the amputation of the right leg just above the ankle. He was also wounded in several places during a personal rencounter with two or three men in Texas, two of whom he killed, and is said to have suffered the most excruciating pain constantly. His family was not related to that of Maj. Hu. F. Ewing, of this city, as some suppose, nor to Hon. Randal Ewing of Franklin, but is a very respectable family. His friends were notified of the event by telegraph yesterday and Messrs. Oakes & Miller received instruction to forward the remains to Nashville last night.
