 Police Force Mourns

9 July 1918

Eight lieutenants are to be pallbearers for Lieutenant McClean. The Police Force of Baltimore united today in mourning the death of Lieutenant Charles H. McClean, of the Northern District, who shot and killed himself yesterday [July 8, 1918] afternoon at his home, 2018 West Fayette Street. Arrangements for the funeral, to be conducted by the police Department, are being made by Captain Hurley of the Northern District. After a conference with Mrs. McClean, it was arranged that eight lieutenants, one from each district, would form an escort. His body was taken home this morning from Franklin Square Hospital, where he was hurried when found yesterday. A steady stream of callers came to the house expressing sympathy to Mrs. McClean. Members of the family are now positive that mental derangement, caused by fear of another attack of paralysis, was responsible for the suicide.
