While Crossing Track and Fell in

Life-No Reason for Killing Himself.


Lfe-No Reason for Killing Himself.
LARoHMoNT, N. Y, Sept. e.-Relatives
and friends Of Eric l.. d. Ldholm, who was
crushed to death by New Haven railroad
local train at the station here last evening.
do not believe that Mr.. Edholm intended
to kill himself. The body Is now at the home
Of Mrs, Edholm's father, John r. Hail.
The young widow is completely pros
trated.
The train crew, station employees and
every one else who saw Mr.. Edholm killed
are certain that he walked deliberately
in front Of the train. The family and
friends, however, say there was absolutely
no reason why Edholm should have de-
stroyed himself in such a horrible manner.
His family relations, they declare, were
at high salary. The theory OF Ldholm's
friends at the Larchmont Yacht Club is
that while he was crossing the tracks he
was attacked with heart disease and threw
up his hands and fell in front OF the loco
motive.
j. D. Homer, member Of the club, said
to-day that he was with Mr.. kdholm on
Thursday afternoon and that while they
were sitting on the piazza Of the clubhouse
Edholm had an attack Of heart disease.

yachtsmen were standing on the platform

but they thought 1t was tramp who had
been killed and soon forgot the occurrence
Mrs. Edholm was also at the station
about the time her husband was killed.
She had just come up from New York and
as she stepped from the train she heard
Of the accident and inquired who 1t was
