TAKES own LIFE
BECAUSE TIRED
OF PRETENDING?
This is Theory Advanced in
Connection With Death of
Peter Martens.
BODY IN MOLINE SLOUGH
Discharged After Long Term With the
Power Company, He Kept Up
Pretense Of Employment.

Peter Martens, a laborer formerly
employed by the Peoples Power CON-
pany and rooming at the Leo DeSmet
boarding house at 1929 Fourth avenue,
Rock Island, was drowned in the Miss
issippi river here some time Thurs
day afternoon. The body was found
at o'clock back of the city pumping
plant by Ben Wood, having been
brought to the surface by the wash
of passing boat
Martens is believed to have commit
ted suicide, though the coroner's jury
which inquired into his death this
morning returned an open verdict. He
left his boarding place as usual Thurs
day morning carrying his lunch and
was not seen afterward by acquaint'
ances.
Where he had been working is not
known. For 10 years he worked for
the power company, but he was dis
charged last May. Mr.. De Smet, pro
prietor of the boarding house, testified
at the inquest that he did, not know
of the mans discharge and that he had
continued to leave with his lunch at
| the regular hour every morning, not
| showing up till night. 1t is possible
that he pretended to be employed dur
| ing the weeks that have interviewed
since losing his job so as to maintain
his credit with his landlord Mr.. De
Smet testified that he had often trust
ed the dead man for long periods wher
/ ha Huas ont of
WAS HEAVY DRINKER.
Martens was a heavy drinker and
had been in a respondent state O.
mind for some time The presumptic.
! is that he became tired of being con
! tinually in financial straits and at the
same time pretending to be employed
and that he quietly dropped into the
water near the point where his bod!
was found.
Coroner Meyer expressed the opin
ion that the remains had not been il

they were taken out
Martens was As years of age and un
married. He has no relatives in thi:
country so far as is known. The in
quest was held at the Knox undertak

tage in his rise to the position of'lead-
Ter among his people. His place was
attained by hard work and true worth.
The mayor made a plea for cooper
alton among citizens generally, taking
example from the success OF the Bel
gian-Americans in their work for the
betterment Of conditions.
Attorney VI. J McEniry declared
that Mr.. Coryn's success should be re-
garded as partly due TO the opportun-
;ty that Moline afforded him. In his
native land, handicapped by environ
ment, no man can hope to rise by his
own efforts TO the eminence that Mr..
CoTyn has attained here.
Among other speakers were Peter
Meersman of Moline, whose topic was

Joseph Nys, who spoke in Flemish.
