Young Mans Corpse Comes
Home from a Visit to His
Sweetheart.
HE HAD 10 REASON FOR SUICIDE
Dead with Bullet Through His
Heart-HeterOdoxV Views of
a Methodist,

Evansville, Ind. Aug. 12.-What the
coroner believes to be one of the most
mysterious of the many crimes that
have occurred in this county within
the last year has shocked the quiet
town OF Gentryville. The body of
Henry Fank. Jr., respected young
farmer who had lived with his father
near that place was found dead in his
buggy yesterday morning, i'm the barn
yard of the Fank home. The body was
In an upright position Oh the seat,
and the horse had evidently brought it
home some hours before the discovery
was made.
Some Indications OF Suicide.
There was bullet wound in Fank's
body. close to the heart. and revol-
yer was lying close to the dashboard
Of the buggy. All the chambers of
the revolver were empty, although
there was only one wound on the dead
mans body. The condition of the
wound indicated that the shooting had
been done at close range, which gave
some support to the theory of suicide.
The coroner, however. believes that
Fank was the victim of a crime.
Road He Travelled Is Not Lonely.
Early Sunday afternoon Fank left
bis home to call on his sweetheart,
who lives in the neighborhood- He
spent all the afternoon and evening
there, and when he started for home
it was dark. He passed along a coun-
try road that is Travelled q great deal,
and surprise is expressed that the dis
covery of Fank's condition was not
made by people who met or overlook
him on the road. This may be ac-
counted for however, by the fact that
the body remained in an upright posi-
ton, as though Fank were alive.
No Motive For self Murder.
The fact that there were no indica-
tions of a struggle. and other facts
that the coroner will not now discuss.
force him to the belief that Fank was
waylaid and killed. He and his sweet
heart were never known to have had
any trouble. and if Fank took his own
life no motive has yet been assigned
for such an act. Fank is known to
have had a rival for the affections of
the girl, but there is nothing at this
time to indicate that he bore any i'll
will toward Fank. or that he has any
knowledge of the affair
