East and Twelfth South streets shortly
alter noon yesterday.
A letter found on the body, ad.
dressed TO his daughter, Miss Ella
Watson, bequenthlng to her all the
worldly possessions OF her father, re-
flected the intention OF Watson to take

that his head, face and neck were frozen
stiff, the other parts OF the body hay
ing been kept from freezing by the
clothing. The body was seen by Roy

Watson had been a patient at q local
hospital and had been in poor health
for some time.

gated the case and found that every
thing pointed toward suicide. The
