POLICEMAN ENDS HIS LIFE George Kenyon Thought by Comrades to Have Been Unbalanced Brooding over charges made against him and fearing that he was again to be called before the police trial board, Policeman George Kenyon of the Irving Park station took his life by drinking poison in a rooming house at 7 North Clark street early today. Kenyon had been on the police force at intervals since 1880. Saturday evening he went to the rooming house, engaged a room and went immediately to it, closing and locking the door. All night Saturday, all day Sunday and Sunday night he is thought to have been in the room. It is not believed that he took his life, however, until early today, as roomers in the place say that he was heard walking about in the room last night.
