Supposed Case of Suicide.

AUCKLAND, 17, What appears to be a case of suicide occurred late last night. A fireman proceeding to his vessel, found a coat on the footpath between No. 2 and No. 3 jetties. In one of the pockets a not© was found stating that, owing to a dread of life, the writer had committed suicide by jumping off the wharf into the harbour. The writer added that he was 20 years of age, and gave a name which at present is not disclosed. Search was made by the police, but they were unable to find any trace of a body as the tide going out fast made search difficult.
