On the arrival in Shrewsbury of the express train from Birkenhead to London, at 1.25 on Friday, the body of a respectably-dressed man was found in one of the first-class compartments, quite dead. An examination disclosed a fearful wound in the right temple, and a revolver which lay on the floor of the carriage was evidently the weapon with which the injury was inflicted. There were no appearances indicating that a struggle had taken place, and no one in the train seems to have heard the report of the pistol. The train does not stop between Chester and Shrewsbury, and it is supposed that the shot was fired somewhere between these stations. The body was carried into one of the porters' rooms, and a further investigation resulted in the discovery in one of the pockets of a bottle of strychnine and a note. In the latter it was stated that the deceased's name was Thomas Goodier, that he was sixty years of age, and a corn merchant at Wrexham, and that some person, whose name he mentioned, had driven him to commit suicide, as his accounts were in a very confused state. It is believed the deceased entered the train at Birkenhead.
