Laborer Kills Self In Tiburon

John Donohue, a laborer of Tiburon, ended his life last Thursday by taking cyanide of potassium. A few weeks ago he appeared here for the examination by a sanity commission, and was still, to a certain extent, under observation when he committed suicide. Donohue was 35 years old and is survived by his widow, Rebecco (sic) Donohue.

Investigation disclosed that he had obtained the poison in the shops of the California City coaling station, where small quantities of it is (sic) used for mechanical purposes. Coroner Sawyer took charge of the body and will conduct the funeral services.
