MILWAUKEE, Nov. 14.-Carl Velz, Ger
man, +hirty-nine years old, carpenter by
trade, but lately of dissolute habits, COM
mitted suicide by hanging at about 10
o'clock this forenoon in cell of the Cen
trail Police station. Velz was found wan
dering on the south side last night, half
drunk, with new lap robe about his
shoulders. He was locked up at the South
side station, and this forenoon was removed
to the Central station. When questioned
about the robe he said he had no coat, was
cold, walked into a barn near the Union
depot, and took the robe to protect him
self against the harsh weather. Shortly
before 10 o'clock he called the station
keeper, said he was chilly and would like
to have cup of coffee. The keeper started
to get one, and when he returned found
Velz hanging in his cell. He had taken a
handkerchief, tied it to strap which he
wore around his waist, attached one end to
the roof of the cell and the other to his
neck. He then stepped off bench in the
cell and the job was completed. The strap
was cut and the body dragged into the
station room, where all endeavors were
made to resuscitate but without success.
Chris, the janitor, was in the cell room all
the time, and neither he nor any of the
other prisoners, knew what was going on
so quietly did Velz proceed.
