Mentally unbalanced by worry
and dependency, Henry Stoecker
aged IL years, committed suicide
about 8 o'clock Saturday evening by
slashing his throat from ear to ear
with a razor. severing his jugular
vein. He was dead when found by
neighbors, who came at the call OF
Mrs. Stoecker, in the loft of the
barn at the home at Moonlight,
northeast OF Abilene. Stoecker of
late had been deranged and Friday
and Saturday had seemed more than
ordinarily respondent and irration-

to the Stoecker farm and held an
inquest, the jury deciding that
Stoecker came to his death by his

Stoeeker's son, George, who lives in
WX0fning, which read: Goodbye,
George. I'm sorry, but I want you
to live a Christian life."
His Wife Searched for Him
Stoecker sharpened bis razor Sat-
urday afternoon and shaved himself.
About 5 o'clock he went out of
doors, toward the barn.! Mrs. Stoeck-
er, as the supper hour approached
went to her husbands room, think
ing that he might be lying ol the
bed, as he had been doing earlier
in the day. Failing I'd find him
there, she went to the barn and
after a search on the first floor,
climbed the ladder and as she reach
ed the loft, saw her husbands hat
lying on the floor. A pile of hay
prevented her from seeing the dead
mans body, which lay in a corner.
Mrs. Stoecker, intuitively suspecting
violence, ran back to the house and
found that Mr.. Etoeckef's razor was
gone. She hastened across the road
to the home of Bert Crum to seek
aid. Mr.. Crum returned with her
and mounting the ladder to the
barn loft, came upon the body of
the dead man, lying face down upon
q mat of blood-soaked hay, his '
right hand under his face and

by His Own Hand

found that the man was dead. and
so did not move the body, but sem
for the coroner.
Coroner Holds Inquest
Coroner Wagaman decided to
hold an inquest. The jurors, Bert
Crum, J. C. Crum, Samuel Bert,
Enos Sheets, B. s. Engle and David
Brechbill, brought in the only ver-
dict possible.
Mr.. and Mrs. Stoecker had had
disagreement and Mr.. Stocker had
gone to California. He returned
only short time ago, and husband
and wife became reconciled. But
Stoecker worried always and him
self acknowledged that he at times
became irrational and was likely to
commit some rash act. The family
feared that in one of his moods of
temporary insanity would result in
violence, and so tried to keep a.
close watch of him.
Thought of Asylum Worried
Last Friday, ]. C. Crum. who
lives about a mile and a half from
the Stoecker home, brought Mr.. |
Stoecker to town, believing that
ride would tighten his discont.
On the way in, Mr.. Stoecker COM
planned that he was not feeling
well, and was urged by Mr.. Crum
to get some medicine while in town.
They separated after they reached
Abilene and when they met later,
Stoecker demanded of Mr.. Crum
why trap had been fixed up for
him." The unfortunate man be-
lieved that Mr.. Crum was trying to
have him sent away to an asylum
and that the medicine would do no
good.
Beside the widow, the deceased
s survived by these children: Mrs. 4
Stella Rider, Lincoln, Neb.; Char
es, boy in high school and Alice,
