THIS HAPPY DEATH ENJOINED
Children Take Supposed Doomed Mans
Conduct Into Court.

Hagerstown, Md, Dec. 31-Acting on
the theory that man who had but six
months to live might die a happy
death Notwithstanding F. H. McLaugh-
lin, a wealthy farmer of near Hag-
erstown today found himself a defen-
dant before Judge Keedy, in proceed .
ings brought by his children, who
seek to enjoin his method of passing
away contented.
From the testimony of Mr.. J. Nc
Pherson Scott, mayor, it developed that
Mclaughlin is a sufferer from pro-
nounced diabetes and does not ex-
pext to live longer than six months.
That was the excuse he gave the doc
tor for some real estate transactions,
one of which was to put $4,000
mortgage on $4,000 farm recently
bought in part with his mother-in-
! laws money. He said he meant to sell
all his property, the doctor testified,
and have a good time the few re
naming days left him.
Harry P. Mclaughlin, a brother, tes-
titled to a visit, when he found his
brother in bed with jug of liquor
ad a case of beer by the side of the
bed. The witness said his brother ask
ed him to see that he got decent
burial and that a large stone be rolled
on top of his grave that the corpse
might not be stolen.
The children ask the court to COM
nit Mclaughlin to an institution I'M
It'll his idea of happy death is cured.
