                  JOHN EVANS DIES OF PISTOL INJURIES

      Succumbs in King's Daughters' Hospital To Self-Inflicted Wound

John Evans, 75 years old, who shot himself last week in his residence, Fifth 
avenue and Columbia street, Cottage Place, died at 8:45 o'clock last night 
in King's Daughters' Hospital, where he was admitted shortly after the 
shooting.
His case was regarded as hopeless from the first.  The bullet, fired from a 
pistol, penetrated his temple and lodged at the base of his brain.  Mr. 
Evans sank gradually from the time he was admitted to the hospital.
He was formerly employed in the Seaboard Air Line railway shops.  A widow 
survives him.
Arrangements for the funeral services were not completed last night.  They 
will be announced tomorrow.
