Birmingham, Ala., Dec. 11th

Walter Ryals, a brilliant young lawyer of twenty-six years of age, who came 
here from Anniston some four months ago and was well known throughout the 
eastern part of this state as well as north Georgia where he was reared, 
accidentally killed himself with an overdose of morphine, taken about 5 
o'clock this afternoon, to cure insomnia, with which he had been suffering 
for several days. The doctors were called to him about 6 o'clock but too 
late, as he died an hour later. His father is president of the Mercer 
University of Macon. A telegram has been sent to him asking what shall be 
done with the remains.


Additional Comments:

A review of census records shows a Walter Ryals in Bartow Co., GA for the 1870 
& 1880 census who would be about the correct age.
