WAS NOT A SUICIDE.
A. G. stotlsr, Of Near Laddonia, Did
Not Kill Himself, As at First
Reported.

The fact has been clearly established
that A. O. stotIer, who lived mile
south of Laddonia and who died rather
suddenly on Thursday night, did not
commit suicide, as was at fret report
ed, the rumor being generally ac-
cepted by the people Of the vicinity
where he lived.
Thoo. s. Pearson, Of Laddonia, CALI
ed at the LEDGER Office to-day and
stated that the Corners jury, after
careful and thorough investigation Of
the case, returned verdict which em-
phatically states that Mr.. stotler did
not kill himself, but died of heart
trouble. The suicide theory was ad-
vAnced from the fact that there was a
bottle of carbolic acid in the house,
and it was supposed that Mr.. stotler
drank the poison, but not a trace of
the smell of carbollc acid could be de-
tected, either upon the body or about
the room in which death occurred.
DR.. Lotion and other physicians
pronounce the suicide theory false
one and say positively that death
could net haTa resulted from this
source without leaving an odor that
would have been readily detected.
Mr.. stotler was one Of the leading
farmers and stock dealers OF the east
end Of the county, was known as a
straightforward, honest man, and 10
was thought strange that he would
take bis life over what was merely
temporary financial troubles, which
could have been Strengthened up with
out much difficulty, and it is a source
of much qualification to the friends Of
Mr.. Stotler and to the family Of de-
ceased to know that he did not die by
bis own hand.

observations in regard to the estab-

however, it will be necessary for the
