Death in Gaurdhouse.
Supposed to Have Torn Canvas strip
from Mattress with His Teeth
Deed Committed between Half
Hour Visits Of sentry.

A sequel to the murder Sunday night
at Fort Ethan Allen. when Private Martin
c. Ellis shot and almost instantly killed
his fellow trooper, Private John l.. Adar
was the suicide Monday morning OF

by the guard who was ordered to visit
him every 30 minutes
Immediately after the shooting, Ellis
was placed under arrest by the other
soldiers present and put in solitary con-
finement in tho guardhouse. Al go Mon
day morning the guard entering upon
his periodical visit found the man
strangling to death. AS hurriedly as
possible the strip Of canvas which formed
the moose around his neck was cut and an
man was too near death. Investigation
showed that Ellis had torn a strip of the
tough canvas from his mattress and tied
1t to the upper grating of his cage and
had then tied a moose about his neck. He
then must have Jumped from his couch
to the floor.
There was no article In the room by
which he could have cut the canvas and IL

his teeth. There were no other prisoners
in the guardhouse at the time as they
were out working and everything ap-
peared all right to the guard in his former
visits to the cell
