C. P. McHUGH LEAPS FROM HOTEL WINDOW 
Drop of Five Stories at Troy (N.Y.) Fatal to Former Resident of Rutland,
Vermont.

Charles P. McHugh, aged 44 years, formerly of 217 State Street, this city,
committed suicide yesterday morning by leaping from the fifth story window of
the Hotel Trojan, Fourth avenue, Troy, N.Y. His act was seen by a number of
passersby. He was taken to the Troy City hospital where he died about an hour
later. His body was removed to the Lowell & Bryce Undertaking rooms. 

Chief of Police Bert S. Hyland received a telegram from the chief at Troy
informing him of the action of Mr.McHugh, who gave his residence at 217 State
street, Rutland. Investigation by the Rutland police department disclosed that
Mr. McHugh lived at the house designated until three weeks ago when he left
this city. He is survived by his wife, who was located last evening in Fair
Haven, (Vermont) by a representative of The Herald, and she said that she had
been informed of her husband's act. She said that some difficulties arose
between Mr. McHugh and herself while they were living at 217 State Street and
that they agreed to separate and she left for Fair Haven to reside. She had
not heard from him since they parted and could give no reason why he should
take his life. 

Mr. McHugh resided in Rutland about seven years and up to that time he left
the city he was employed as a bed rubber by the Clarendon Marble company in
West Rutland. He was born in Weybridge, Vt. He is survived by a brother,
Dennis McHugh of Middlebury, Vt.
