             JAILED FOR DRUNKENNESS; HANGS SELF IN HIS CELL 
        Robert B. Quidley Commits Suicide At Police Headquarters

Robert B. Quidley, 26 years old, living at 28 Franklin avenue, South 
Norfolk, committed suicide yesterday morning in a cell at the first precinct 
police station by hanging himself from the top of the cell with a leather 
belt.  Quidley was dying when Turnkey Woodhouse at 8 o'clock yesterday 
morning went to collect the prisoners to go to Police Court.
The dying man was cut down by the officer and rushed to St. Vincent's 
Hospital, but died on the way.  Dr. R.S. Kight, city coroner, viewed the 
body and gave a certificate of suicide.  He turned the body over to 
relatives.
Quidley was arrested Monday by Patrolmen Becraft and Matter on the charge of 
being drunk after complaint had been made by J.T Morrison, 215 Bank Street, 
who claimed that Quidley had come to his house and threatened to shoot him.
Quidley was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Zack Quidley, 28 Franklin avenue. South 
Norfolk.  He is survived by a widow and one child, Jack Odell Quidley and 
his parents.
The funeral will take place at 3:30 o'clock this afternoon at the residence 
of his parents.  Services will be conducted by Rev. W.M. Black of the South 
Norfolk Baptist Church.  Burial will be in Magnolia Cemetery, Berkley.
