An inquest was begun this morning The
wife of the deceased testified to the finding
of her husband suspended from the bed
post. She claimed, however, that her hus-
band had not committed suicide.
She thought he had merely tried
to play joke on her, as he had often done.
He would act as drunkard when he was
sober, and he would often lie down on the
floor, hold back his breath, pretending to
be dead, hide in the hayloft etc. She fur
ther says that he had hurt his head some
time ago, and that since then he has suf-
fered from brain disease. She attributes
his death to the latter, for when she found
him at the bed last evening the handker-
chief was not fastened tightly enough to
produce strangulation
The Coroner rendereda a verdict of death
from strangulation, but whether inten-
ti0nal or not. he could not determine.
