DEATH Of WEISS
IS MYSTERIOUS
MAN FOUND ON FARM NEAR TROY
UNDER UNUSUAL ClRCUM-
STANCES; WELL COVERED.

Bloomfield, Sept 12.-special: Mys:
terry attaches to the death OF Fred
Weiss. of near Troy, whose body was
found in a we'll on the George Swain
farm. two miles north Of Troy, Sun
day afternoon. The coroner's inquest
resulted in a verdict Of coming to his
death by shooting, but mystery shrouds
the manner in which the hole at the
top OF the we'll was covered by man
who apparently had shot himself be-
fore dropping into a well.
The top Of the well is covered oy
planking, leaving an opening of eigh.
teen inches which had been overlaid
with rails. Investigators claim that
in order to have entered the well, and
covered over the entrance, Weiss
would have had to brace himself
against the sides, but in so doing, If
it were at all possible, they cannot
conceive how he could have held up
the weight of the rock tied about his
body and shot himself.
The presence of the gun and the
fact that sickness q year ago left
the man slightly unbalanced mentally
at times, led the coroner's jury to the
verdict.
