Brady, the theatrical are believed to have caused the actor to take his life. Lowell committed suicide by placing his head In the baking oven oi a gas stove. The suicide seems to nave Deen carefully planned. He was seen by Lewis Sbanley.

who rons the house In which he boarded, about 10 o'clock on Thursday night. He appeared worried, but there was nothing In his conversation or bearing to Indicate that he contemplated com mitting suicide. He had lived at the house about three weeks and his rent was paid In advance. For four months Lowell had been out of work, and recently he made an unsuc cessful effort to recoup his fortunes in vaudeville. Since then Lowell had had nothing to do.

On Wednesday night he had a talk with Charles A. Meacham, an actor, and at 'that time, Mr. Mecham said yesterday, he appeared to be In deep distress and brooding over the troubles which he were uuc io ins orcaKing wim Mr. Brady last Spring.

He sent his love to all of -jhls friends and lots of love to Paul." the! latter said to kava been his valet, who remained ith him until a few days ago.

The letter to Mr. Mackensle was very brief. Lowell wrote that It was his will. He left to Mr. Mackensle alH of his effects and property, to dispose of as he saw fit.

He made no mention of bis wife, from whom he was said to have been separated for several years. His wife, who Is not an actress, lives a small New York village with her three children, two airla and a boy. Walter-M. 8. Lowell, or Wfrlght Lorimer.

Brady, called up Charles S. Mackenzie, counsel for Lowell, In regard to a motion In the suit which was to have come up yesterday in the Circuit Mean while Mr. Mackenzie's office had been notified of the suicide, and Mr. Brady's attorney was told that the case was off on account of the death of the plaintiff. Mr.

Brady was then notified of the suicide. The theatrical manager, through his counsel, informed Mr. Mackenzie that he much regretted the death i of Lowell, and In view of the circumstances, he would at once surrender all his Interests in the production of The Shepherd King to Lowell's widow.
