PROBABLY SUICIDE
Italian Ground to Death Under Central YER
mont Train.

Montpelier, Dec l4.-Stephen Boag.
Ito, an Italian about 40 years old, was
ground TO death under the wheels of
a Central Vermont passenger train
which arrived from Barre at o o clock
this morning, his body being terribly
mangled.
Suicide is the most reasonable ex-
PLANTATION Of the mans death, although
no one has been found who saw him
jump in front OF the train, or who wit
messed the accident.
The man has been in this city and
Barre for several days and has acted
strangely. He attempted TO jump in
front OF an electric car at Barre
Thursday, but was restrained by by
ISLANDERS. He was taken into custody
and examined as to his sanity. 1t was
the verdict that he was suffering from
the etfcts o. the drug habit and alco-
holism. Later 1t was learned that he
had recently been released from the
state hospital for the insane at Water
bury.
Last night he was in this city and
expressed desire to sleep on the
river bank. A fellow countryman took
pity on him and took him to his board
ing place at the home of Ferdinand
Bonozzi. While there he talked OF
avepging the death of brother.
A brother who is employed in a
granite establishment at South Rye
gate has been notified of the accident.
