AND ENDS HIS LIFE

ney General of Minnesota
Suicide.

LA CROSSE. WIS, September l.
The river at Oshkosh is being dragged

states attorney-general, who COM
mltted suicide there last night by leap
ing from high bridge. He had been
accused of grating by using State
envelopes for sending out campaign
literature, Tucker is believed to have
been insane when he escaped from a
friend and leaped from the bridge.
A short time ago another candidate
Tor State encouragement accused
tucker OF using envelopes bearing
the stamp OF the office of State fire
marshal, Tom Purtell. The value Of
the envelopes, II was charged, was
between $40 and IL. Tucker denied
the charges and accused his enemies
OF conspiracy.
His friends asserted that It was un-
reasonable that Tucker, who spent
$1,000 for literature In his campaign
would stoop TO stealing s12 worth of
envelopes. Tucker charged that his
enemies had fixed up the envelopes
and slipped them into his desk with
his other Office supplies.
Iucker was told by Madison ply
stefan that he was threatened with a
mental collapse and ordered to go to
his home In Oshkosh for a rest
so serious was fuckers mental con-
dition that friends accompanied him.
Last night Tuck escaped from his
guard and during a search for him, a
scream was heard from the bridge.
Immediately thereafter a splash was
heard. Searchers found fuckers suit
case on the bridge. His hat was found
floating on the water.
An effort was made in Madison yes
terday to get warrants for Tucker on
charge of stealing the envelopes but
Judge Donovan would not entertain
it.
