Shot himself after embezzling money.
He and wife Miss Shirek were well known in Portland. No Shirek or Cohn in 1880 or 1870 Oregon Census.
Adolph A. Cohn, recently agent of the Alaska Commercial Company at Portland, shot himself dead in a water-closet on the premises of the company in this city to-day. He was short in his accounts on settling with the company, and gave notes to balance them. He sought to be reinstated by the company, which was declined. The act is attributed to despondency at his business prospects. Deceased was well known in business circles at Portland and this city.
DETAILS OF THE AFFAIR
Mrr Cohn, former agent of the Alaska Company at Portland, who committed suicide this afternoon, arrived here from Portland last Saturday. Owing to an irregularity of his accounts, he gave the firm two notes for $6,300 in settlement. This morning he endeavored to prevail upon Louis Gerstle, President, to reinstate him, but this the latter declined to do, and advised him to take what money he had-some $7,000-and go into business in the country. A few minutes before the act Cohn spoke to an employee in the store regarding business matters, and was advised to wait and not act hastily. It seems that, becoming despondent over the outlook for himself and his wife, whom he married but ten days ago in Portland, the unfortunate man made away with himself. His wife was formerly Miss Shirek, and was well known in Portland, where both she and her husband had many friends. Deceased was also well known here, and his sudden and tragic death caused considerable excitement in Jewish circles. No letters or other memoranda explaining the motive of the deed were found.
10 Jun 1881: suit began in cory by Louis Sloss & Co of San Francisco, California, USA agains AA Cohn of Portland. Since 1872 Cohn has been an agent of L Sloss at Portland and Walla Walla, and refuses to give possession. Sloss wishes to place agancies in other hands; the suit involves over $50,000.
