COURTED DEATH WITH OPIUM.
Walton M. Busbee, of North Carolina, Commits Suicide.
Baltimore, Md., June 3.-Walton M. Busbee, a lawyer of North Carolina, and more recently a clerk in the interior department at Washington, was found unconscious on the street at an early hour this morning, and died a few hours later at the city hospital. He was 33 years old, and belonged in Raleigh, N. C. He practiced his profession there and in Durham, N. C., and was appointed a clerk in the interior department last January. His brother, Fabius H.

Coroner Hill said that it was undoubtedly a case of suicide from opium poisoning, and he deemed an inquest unnecessary.
