The body was found by William a.

frOck coat belonging to his son, and
was identified by the tailor'S mark in

In the pockets were three purses.
containing S12.42, three white hand
kerchiefs and n pocket knife. The
craVat and collar were gone.
At the Mitchell home the police
learned that the old man on July 4 had
gone out for a walk. He then was
fully dressed. He did not return
home that night, and the following
day his son sent out a general police
alarm for him.
The fact that the old man was
without cravat. collar. shoes, stockings
or hat gave rise to suspicion that he
had met with foul play. and Coroner
Hellenstein has ordered an autopsy.
w. T. Mitchell told the police that his
father had no guitar of his own and
never played one. How the broken
guitar got by the body is a mystery.
According to the police the old man
was quite feeble, and at times his
mind wandered. a doctor said he had
been dead for eight or ten days.

thirty-four years old, tore himself
free from the arms of his young and
pretty wife yesterday afternoon, lock-

ted suicide by drinking carbolic acid
After banging her clenched hands
against the locked doors in a vain eff
fort to get in the house, Mrs. Cecilia
screamed frantically, while she look
ed at her husband, writing in his
death agonies on the floor of the
kitchen, clad only in a pair of trou-
serS and holding an empty tumbler in
his hand.
F'ifteen-year-old George Huff, who
had seen the struggle between hus-
band and wife and followed Mrs. MARI
as she ran after the man, broke open
the kitchen window, climbed into the
house, and unlocked the door. Mari
was breathing his last when his wife
bent over him.
Several days ago an inspector for
the Health Department told MARI he
could not raise chickens in his rear
yard. MARI refused to dispose of the
chickens. He had one rooster, twelve
hens and twenty-five chickens just
Matched. On Monday the health in
spector found the chickens had not
been removed.

Mrs. MARI caught her husband and
tried to hold him. He threw her off
