John Suhr, a German carpenter, 51 years of age, who boarded at the house of Mrs. Dora Ahern, No. 614 North Leavitt street, committed suicide by shooting himself yesterday morning. The police being notified they broke down the door of his room and found Suhr lying on the floor with a revolver by his side. Deputy Coroner Corbett got the case for his first inquest and discovered the man was despondent over the death last August of his son. He had also been sick for three or four days.
