Denford, representing the Deerlng Harvester Machine company, with offices at 400 Austell buliding, killed himself at 3:30 o’clock this morning in Grant park. A note wag found on his person In which he stated that he had made many promise# to friends regarding financial matters and had broken them all; that his Masonic friends had up held him and had helped him in one emergency and another until the pow er of humiliation had become too great for him to bear, and he had de termined it was best for him to end his life. Benford shot himself through the right temple with a 44 caliber derrin ger. At the time he killed hims( i is believed he was in a sitting posi tion. When found this morning his right arm was doubled up under his body, clasping the derringer. Death api)eared to Jiave been instantaneous. On his person were also found let ter* to friends and one to his father, who Is a prominent and wealthy bank er, of Greenfield, Ind., which is the tome of the dead man. At 3:30 o'clock this morning Patrol men Moss and Smith heard the shot which ended Benford’s life. They were making their regular rounds in the park when the firing of the pistoi was heard near the old deer enclosure, some distance below the band stand in the park. They Immediately nroceed- ed to the place, but heard nothing to attract their attention, and could find no trace of the work of Benford. They then left the place, and a few minutes before 6 o’clock this morning a negro laborer, passing through the park, found Benford’s body cold lo d’Cath on the ground. The body was taken in charge by the park authorities and an undertak er notified. Last night at 6 o’clock an unknown man entered the ‘Piedmont hotel and asked for a room.
