GERMAN SAILOR
FROM POMMERN
HANGS himself
Patient at Hospital, Despond'

Locking himself in the bathroom
of Queens Hospital Frederick William
Ehaers. Al years old, a sailor from the
German steamer Pommern, relugee
here, hanged himself with a towel Sat
urday night.
Ahaers was missed from his bed oy
one of the nurses and when in search
for him the locked bathroom was
opened he was hanging from water
nine with two bath towels tied TO-
gether and noosed around his neck
The suicide followed an operation
for cancer which proved, to the satls-
faction of the physicians, that they
could not cure Ehaers, and he was
told that his case was hopeless. Des-
pondency over this probably caused
him to kill himself.
Ehaers has relatives in Germany
and these have been notified by the
German consul of his death. Ar
rangements for the funeral will be
made by the consul. -..- ...
