ROACH--Moses Roach, 44 years, a barber at Merriam for nine years, died in his rooms at the Merriam hotel yesterday afternoon. Death apparently resulted from ptomaine poisoning, supposedly from eating chili. Roach was in Kansas City Saturday night. He was taken violently ill Sunday morning. When Dr. W. E. Skaggs arrived Roach was unconscious. He regained consciousness for a brief period before he died. Dr. Skaggs attempted to gain from his some account of his doings the night before. All Roach could say was "chili." The body was taken to the Gates Undertaking rooms in Rosedale. Roach had relatives in Kansas City but they were not known to his Merriam acquaintances.
