Death Inv Suicide

About 10 o'clock on last Monday morn
ing, Mr.. Peter Ludt was found by his
wife, hanging in the hay NOW, in the barn
on his sons premises, neal the east end of
Front street, and quite dead: He was
suspended by a strong leather strap, one
end of which was attached TO a %rafter, and
the other encircled his neck by a loop
Mrs. Ludt in alarm called her son, who
at once cut the strap, and took charge of
the body. A coroner's jury was summon
ed by Esquire Mckee, at which it was
ELECTED that Mrs. Ludt had conversed
with her husband in the barn about 8
o'clock that morning, and requested him
to go into the house and get breakfast
But this he refused 10 do. alledging that
he did not feel well. At 10 O'Clock Mrs.
L. went again TO the BARN and found her
husband as stated above. The verdict of
the jury was hat Mr.. Ludt came to his
death by hanging, accomplished by his
own hands.
MI. Ludt was IS years old, with a fam
lily grown up, and, with his wife, had
been living in the family of one Of his
sons. He was an old residenter of Youngs-
town, and we'll known to most of our citi-
zens as a hard working and industrious
man. 1t is thought that losses in business
and property produced alteration of the
mind, and in this condition put an end to
his own MISUNDERSTANDING Courier.
