VERDICT OF SUICIDE
Coroner Holds Inquest Over Daniel
Piekkari.

Yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock a
jury Of inquest, summoned by County
Coroner W. G. Pohl, convened at that
officers undertaking establishment, to
review the circumstances attendant up
on the death OF Daniel Piekkari, the
Finn found dead in the southern
suburbs yesterday.
The jury consisted OF the following
citizens; James Pinlayson, William
Kelley, c. W. Stone, Max strsl, Henry
Buthman and William McCrosky. There
being no witnesses TO the shooting. The
jury had 10 rely upon extraneous cir.
cumstanees and testimony. all Of which
led inevitably to the sole conclusion Of
suicide.
One phase of the evidence was of a
sort TO greatly simplify the inquiry, and
that was the finding of five letters writ
ten by the dead man and left among his
effects at the place he boarded and
roomed, at the house of Gabriel Thomp-
son at No. West Astor street to
whom one of the letters was sealed and
addressed TO Mfr. Thompson. It's con-
tents were plainly indicative Of his pur-
pose TO kill himself and was written ubt
a day or two before the act. The other
four were Of the same tenor, but were
unaddressed. These, with such other
items Of direct information as bore on
the situation, warranted the jury in the
verdict il returned in favor of self.mur.
der.
The unfortunate man had subsisted
upon $1,000 he received for a timber
claim some four years ago, and when
his funds became exhausted, he became
so used to idleness. he sought to live
without work, and this was augmented
by a disease of the eyes that put him
up against the real thing and he could
not stay.
