"GURNARD'S HEAD.

SUICIDE.—Charles William Jeffery Pepperell, a coastguard stationed at Gurnard's Head, was found dead with his throat cut on Thursday evening. He was 34 years of age, and was last seen at half-past seven the same evening by his wife, who left her husband in the kitchen while she went upstairs to put her child to bed. When she came back to the kitchen her husband was not there, and as he did not answer when she called to him a few minutes later, she asked George Maybourn, the officer in charge of the station, to look for him, and he found him lying on his back in the lavatory, with his throat cut, and a knife lying by his side. He was quite dead. At the inquest on Saturday the jury returned a verdict of "Suicide while temporarily deranged." ³
