work a few weeks ago. Instituting a
hurried search, he examined all the
downstairs rooms and then started to
continue the search in the upper story
Of the building. Near the upper land
ing Of the stairway he found his wife
hanging by a rope tied to a rafter: She
had evidently taken a piece Of clothes
line, fastened It to beam. knotted
the free end around her neck and then
stepped or the low box upon which
she was standing while making deliber-
ate preparations for the deed.
The husband nerved himsef to the
task OF cutting down the remains and
then summoned physicians and the
neighbors. The doctors announced that
she had been dead for IN hour or two
