The Garden Island, Lihue, Kauai, Tues., 11-10-1914
TORRE, UHENIA
SICK PUERTO RICAN SHOOTS HIMSELF.  Uhenia Torre, Puerto Rican, living and working 
at Koloa, shot himself with a 38-calibre revolver at about 5 o'clock Sunday 
evening and died shortly after. The man had been sick for some time and appeared 
to have heart trouble. He had also been drinking. About 4 o'clock in the 
afternoon, he went out and met on the road one Usedio Perry, another Puerto Rican. 
A quarrel ensued, and Perry slapped Torre on the face. Torre then returned home 
and told his wife about the assault. The wife advised him to go to see Deputy 
Sheriff Blake and have Perry arrested. He thereupon left the house, ostensibly to 
carry out this advice. A short time later the man arrived back at his home, 
however, and told his wife that he was ashamed to visit the Deputy Sheriff for the 
reason that he had recently come out of jail for one offense and had been mixed up 
in another ugly affair. The woman left him on the veranda and went out into the 
backyard for a moment and while out there heard the report of a pistol. Rushing 
back to the veranda, she found Torre had shot himself and was in a dying 
condition. A coroner's jury investigated the case and returned a verdict of 
suicide.
