sation. Covering with a blanket tbe bottom of the bathtub in his apartments at 170 Court Btreet, Sergeant John W. Zoll of the harbor police service, put the free end of a tube leading from a gas cock into his mouth and inhaled the gas until he was dead. He was found at 6 o'clock this morning by his wife. It Is thought, by those who knew him well, that he killed himself because mentally deranged by continual worriment over his financial affairs.

According to Mrs. Zoll their troubles began last August, when her husband was operated upon for appendicitis at th Long Island College Hospital. The charge of $13 per week, the patient understood, covered all medical attendance, but It appears he was mistaken, for a bill totaling $175 was sent him. Although the operation was successful, the heavy expense Incurred worried Zoll greatly. He delayed paying the bill and Mrs.

Zoll said this morning that her husband had been notified that If the claim was not settled by November 8 suit would be brought. Realizing the notoriety that would result from such an affair Sergeant Zoll promised to pay the money, something he was really unable to do. These worries, together with anxiety over his physical condition, fearing that would be unable to earn a living for his family if the incisions made by the surgeon's knife should reopen or his bronchial trouble develop seriously, were, it is claimed, directly responsible for his self-destruction. Police Surgeon Walter Brouner and Dr. William Hutchinson of 20o Clinton street, the family physician, held a consultation two weeks ago Saturday, which resulted in the police doctor ordering the officer to report sick and go home and rest.

Had Sergeant ZoJl lived another month no would have been seventeen years a policeman. For nearly ten years he was a patrolman In the Amity street precinct, and from there was transferred to the Adams street station, where he patrolled for two years. From the Adams street preoinct he was sent to the Grand avenue district as a sergeant, five years ago. After two years of duty there he was assigned to the harbor service. His superiors are unable to recall ever having received complaints against him, and except when he appeared as a witness, his face was never seen in the trial room.

iHe was the father of four children, three girls and a boy, the olde-t of whom 's May, 16 years old. Zoll was 41 years old. Children loved him dearly, and he delighted to invite a crowd of them to his home for a good time. His last little party to the youngsters of the neighborhood, the celebration of Halloween, is still fresh in the minds of the entire neighborhood in the center of which he bad his abode.
