Abraham Finberg, well known in Rochester though his home was in Chicago, where he was member of a firm of hatmakers,
for which he traveled as salesman, committed suicide in his room in the Rossin House in Toronto last night by shooting.
The man is supposed to have been despondent on account of trouble with his partners. They decline to have anything
to do with the disposition of his body and a Toronto Jewish rabbi has collected funds from the Jews of the city
and will see that the remains have proper burial.
