Inquest Held Yesterday.
FROM A FAMILY OF SUICIDES
A Tragedy That Must Have Been
the Deed of Maniac
The Verdict.

Coroner Taylor went down to Sandy
Yesterday morning to hold an inquest
over the remains of Len Oscrott, (not
'Hoscroft," as formerly given) and
from the evidence brought out it will
be seen that the report published in
yesterdays HERALD was substantially
correct. Outside of this. however, some
details were elected.

HIS FAMILY.

Deceased was the son-in-law of Wash
ington J. Jenkins of Sandy; had been
married about eight years and was 81
years old. From the evidence it ap-
pears that he belonged 10 family of
suicidal tendencies. A report says tn, I
his grandfather committed susclde, and
one of the witnesses stated as fact
that his uncle hanged himself IN Draper
some years ago. He had two sisters,
both of whom were insane. One OF
them took Rough-on Rats and jumped
down a we'll. The other died a natural
death, but was insane to the end.
THE INQUEST.
The inquest was held at the former
home of deceased.
The first witness was Samuel Jenkins,
a brother.in-Iaw of deceased. He said:
Yesterday afternoon, at about 3
O'Clock, l went out to rake hay. AT
about O'Clock, l drove Oscrofts cows
home. / went into the house, and, not
finding him there, l went into the barn
ard found Oscroft's body lying on the
ground with a halter strap about the
neck; there was a slip moose in the
strap and around the neck there was
also smaller strap fastened tightly.
1 called my brother and told him that
Len had killed himself (deceased's
proper name was Lorenzo George
Martin Oscroft); my brother took the
strap off the neck. Deceased had been
moody and discouraged; was little bit
in debt and felt very much discouraged.
Witness then gave the testimony
mentioned ABOVE IN reference to the de-
ceased S family.
Witness then continued: have heard
deceased say that if it were not for
someone else's
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1888-10-17
NECK WAS BROKEN |;

the strap then, he thought, had slipped
off and let the body drop.
This witness theory seems to be the
one generally accepted but some Of
those present at the inquest thought it
possible that instead Of twisting the
strap about the joist, Oscroft had
simply thrown it over and had taken
hold ofthe other end while he made the
fatal leap. Either of these theories are
very plausible.
1t was stated in yesterdays HERALD
that those who investigated the matter
Monday night could find no place from
which, the deceased could have hung.
Taey evidently came to this decision
because there were no joists directly
over the spot where the body was found
but there were two joists IN another
part of the ceiling, not far off, and the
body would naturally have swung from
under the ioist and dropped where it
did.
THE VERDICT.
In accordance with the facts brought
out in the evidence and in considera-
ton of the statements as to the ex-
istence OF insanity in the family, the
Jury rendered a verdict to the effect
shat the deceased came to his death at
his own hands, by hanging himself,
while temporarily insane.
The Jurors were 1saaC Harrison, Wells
Clark and William B. Trip.
