Grief Over President Caused His Suicide
Orlando D. Vancamp, Wealthy Erie Resident, Blows His Head Off with a Shotgun.
Erie, Sept. 10.—Grief over the shooting of President
McKinley, and subsequent worry over his condition and prospects of recovery,
were the causes which led Orlando D. Vancamp, one of Erie’s most prominent men
to kill himself last night. He blew off his head with a shotgun.
Vancamp was very wealthy and was a delegate to
the national convention at Philadelphia, when President McKinley was nominated
for a second term. He was interested in Chicago opera houses.
