INDIANA SHUFFLERS.
Suicide Club Among Young Men Exists in
the Hoosier Capital.

Suicide Club Among Young Men Exists in
the Hoosier Capital.
INDIANAPOLIS, June 30.-For some
time the belief has existed that suicide
club has been organized in the East
End. A number of suicides have oG-
Cured recently, the victims being well
known young men. In every instance
prussic acid has been used. Thursday
it came to light that Frank Crane had
invited two Of his friends, named Harms
and Sharp, TO join the club, declaring
that it already had a considerable mem
bership. Harms upbraided Crane, and
made the matter public. When con-
fronted, Crane asserted that it was a
joke, but the facts prove the existence
of the club.
A rule of the uncanny organization is,
it is said, that the next victim shall sit
up with the body Of the suicide, and the
information that the club existed was a
remark dropped by a young man over
the corpse of Rodney Metzgar, the last
suicide, to the effect that he would be
the next to go.
