Decatur, Ala., July 20.?Caught under an overturned locomotive In tho Louisville and -Nashville yards here last night. Huston a. Fleming, n 26-year-old engineer whose wedding date was set within the week, killed himself hy cutting his throat from agony he was suffering. With his legs crashed and steam fairly cooking his gody, the young man begged fellow workmen to kill him. The-men refused, though they could not rescue him from the wreck.* "For God's sake," the young man cried, "put me out of this living hell; kill roe." Beneath the tangled mass of macl/nrry the man's white face was e*en by the <?owd. Then, with half paralysed hands, he 'taanaged to' grope toward a pocket of his coat. Out of.it he brought a penknife. He opeaed n glade of it with his teeth. 'Well,*i he sobbed, "if none at you trieh have the nerve, I'll do it my, -^2 Without hesitation he drew Ahe blade across his throat. He made a deep wound that severed the Jugular vela, and that instant the suffering roan escape jdfela agony. John Smith, a fireman, who was a witness to Fleming's terrible and dramatic death, said: 4^ "It war too awful fo look at. And we coalda't do a thing for Fleming? cne of the beet liked men among us. We lost no time getting the wrecker down here and trying to lift the engine, but the wredker wasn't big enoUfta to lift such a big locomotive. I . And at| we could do was to stand there and see him suffer and hear him beg as to kill him. He was in fearful pain it seemed almost right that somebody should do as he asked. But, of eource, none of ns could bring onraclvca to do that^ And finally the boy got out his own kniCe. Wo were all too sick and weak with wptching hi in for any of us to think ' of taking the &nife' away from him. We last stood there staring while he cut his throat."
