Ohio Happenings

EIyria.-Alone in a little grave
yard on the Murray Ridge road,
three miles from this city, Herbert G.
Crisp found the death he sought
Crisp was cashier of the South Lorain
bank, which institution, it's officials
assert, is not affected by the suicide
That Crisp carefully had planned his
death is evident from the statement
of the man who found the body. This
man had passed the cemetery early in
| the afternoon. At that time, he says
| he saw Crisp seated near a grave.
When he returned the cashier was
dead. He believes that the shot was
! fired as soon as he was out of the
view of Crisp. The revolver ball had |
entered the skull beneath the right |
ear and had penetrated the brain. |
Friends of the cashier assert that his |
mind had been unbalanced for two |
weeks. The bank had granted him a
vacation that he might recuperate.
The recent financial furry seemed to
have affected the cashiers nerves.
