| The telegram announcing the
news of the death of Col. F. W. Sims, of Savannah, stated that he
committed suicide. We are cognizant of a fact, which in the absence of
any positive proof of intention to commit suicide, permits the
supposition that his death was accidental. At any rate we know that by
advise of his Savannah physician he was in the habit of injecting
morphine into his arm for rheumatism, which he always suffered on
taking cold. He has been known to consume a considerable quantity of
morphine in this way, and he may have accidentally used too much. |
