Asheville Man a Suicide

Asheville, N.C., March 31—While his wife and two children gazed upon the act horror-stricken and beseeched him to stop, Arthur Renfro, 27, employee of a local sanatorium, this afternoon slashed his throat with a razor and died a few minutes after being rushed to a hospital. Ill health was attributed by members of the family as the cause of the act.
