Abdulah Rasul, an Arab, held ON
q murder charge, ended his life last
night by hanging, in cell at the
county jail adjoining the main part
Cf the jail. The gruesome find was
not made until this morning, when
F. j. Jenkins, fellow prisoner, awoke
and saw the lfeleSs form of the Arab
suspended from the iron grilling OF
the window.
Rasul apparently completed the
plans to end his life in the early hours
of the morning. AT daybreak Jenk-
ms wakened for a moment, looked up
and saw the Arab hanging from the
window, but in the semi-darkneSs did
not notice that RasuPs feet were
above the floor and thought the Arau
was praying.
At 1880 this morning Jenkins woke
again, and this time he saw the mo-
tionless figure suspended from the
window. He screamed and then peat
upon the closed door of the cell un-
i'll officers responded.
Religious terror, apparently was
one of the potent factors when actu-
atetd Rasul to take his life.
At the time of his arrest the Arab
was clad in the garb of his country
Later he changed these for more MOD
ern clothes, but the preparations ne
made before seeking his life indicate
that he was swayed by religious mo-
tives.
Rasul this morning was clad IN the
same clothes he wore at the time OF
his arrest and from his feet he had
removed the American shoes he had
worn.
A belt which belonged to Jenkins
lad been used to fasten the lmpfo-
vised moose from the window and onto
this had been fastened the Mohamme-
dan praying cloth upon which RasuI
had knelt to offer his supplications.
The end of the cloth was converted
into a slip knot and with the moose
fastened about his neck Rasul appar-
ently leaned from the window, a dis
tance of nearly 10 feet from the floor
of the cell.
How long the Arab hung from the
window before the discovery was made

Several makers OF footballs have
agreed. however. to furnish footballs
for the next few months at prices
about thirty per ceni above former hg.

proportion 10 the actual cost. but II IL
