the Forsyth avenue crossing of the
Pennsylvania tracks in East Chicago
last Tuesday Coroner Shanklin has
not as yet closed the case and is con-
sidering the evidence of two police
officers who were witnesses of the
death.
Apparently leaping deliberately in
front of the engine Murray was IN
stantly killed. The policemen. Officers
Mccormack and Rajchinitz were some
distance away but both are positive of
the then unknown mans deliberate
leap to his death
Some time before that day Murray
had been approached by the bluecoats

streets without object. His death fol-
lowed a natural sequence to these
indications of suicidal intent.
