SUICIDE OF AN EX-CONSTABLE
KILMORE, Saturday
Ex-Constable Hugh Bracken, who played a prominent part in the capture of the Kelly gang of bushrangers at Glenrowan, committed suicide at his residence at Wallan on Friday morning. His body was found in his private room, with a gun-shot wound through his head, the suicide evidently being of a most deliberate nature. Since Bracken's retirement from the force he has been a police pensioner, receiving, in addition to his retiring allowance, an annual gratuity for his services at the capture of the Kellys. For many years past he has been living a quiet life at Wallan, and occasionally ran horses at local race meetings. A magisterial inquiry was held this morning, when a verdict of death from a gun-shot wound, self-inflicted, was returned.
