KANSAS CITY, Me-, July Gas was
discovered escaping yesterday morning
at the news and book store kept by Henry
KIeinpell at Is East Eleventh street
and an entrance was effected by breaking
in the front door. IN the rear hanging to
the rope used to open the skylight was
the dead body of Kleinpell. He had died
of strangulation.
Kleinpell had evidently made at least
two Intellectual attempts at suicide. A
short piece of rope with a moose at one end
was found on the floor, while another
piece OF rope was found suspended from
the ceiling. He probably hanged himself
by this rope in his first attempt and death
not coming quickly enough, cut himself
down.
Five open pocket knives, stained with
blood, blood splashes on the floor and cuts
and hacks in the dead mans left wrist,
show how he made the second vain at
tempt
For the third time he made use of two
means to insure his death, having opened
all the gas burners in the room in addition
to hanging. The skylight rope was long
and small His toes touched the floor
and the cord sank deep into the flesh of
his neck.
Kleinpell had been in business here
for nearly eight years. He came from
Madison, Wis, where he had wife and
four children. He had been drinking
heavily lately.
