London, Sept. II.?One of the ao
called "white feather" brigade was
bo much worried by the attacks
made on him by the tannta of the
women that he haa Just committed
suicide at hla home in Shepherd's
Bush. He was a chauffeur named
Richard Charlss Roberts, and it was]
said at the coroner's Inquest that
he had tried to enlist but had been |
rejected on account of a weak heart. |
This of Itself had depressed him. but
when some women tannted him and j
called him a coward life became un-!
bearable to him.
The Shepherd's Bush coroner gave
some of theee women a lecture. He
described their eondnct as abomnl

"Here waa a man who was driven
to death by a pack of silly women,
who knew nothing about the cir
