CORONER'S JURY BRINGS IN
PECULIAR VERDICT

PECULIAR VERDICl
A WOrkingman, KaSper Bark of
1910 w. Erie St, stuck a revolver to
his head and pulled the trigger We'd
nesday night.
A coroner's jury yesterday listened
to the wOTkingman's wife testify. She
said Bark had a father and brother
in the Austrian army and he worried
lot about the human storm of death
sweeping Europe.
Besides the war, he was worried by
tOOthache. Being only a common
labOrer, Bark didn't have money to
hire dentists to drill, fill and shape
his chewing tools. He let his teeth go
without care. Pain racked his head.
However, according to jurors
working under one of Coroner Pete
Hoffman's deputies yesterday, it
wasn't the war nor the tOOthache
that made Bark crazy so he shot
himself. 1t was socialism, reading
Socialist books and thinking So
cialism, that caused the insanity
that caused the suicide.
81 understand your husband was
a Socialist" a juror asked. might
that have affected his mind?"
''Ie read a good deal about social
ism, said Mrs. Bark. 81 don't know.
Maybe it worked on his mind"
So the jurors on the basis of
woman's guess that maybe her hus-
band read too much on socialism
voted verdict that Bark killed him
self while respondent and tempo
rarily insane" and the insanity was
caused by reading books on social
ism"
Leslie H. Marcy, managing editor
International Socialist Review, said
today that jury rendering such
verdict is bugs"

CARD OF THANKS.

We the undersigned desire to
express our heartfelt thanks and
appreciation to the kind friends
and neighbors who SO sympathetic
ally assisted US in this sad hour of
our bereavement in the death and
bnrial of our beloved husband and
father.
There are no words that can tell
how the human heart feels to be
cared for as we have been cared for
during our bereavement. Nothing
that tenderness, thoughtfulness
and it would seem nothing but
pure love itself could suggest was
lacking in word or deed. We there
fore unite in asking that, since it
is impossible to see each one
personally to express the measure
of our thankfulness if we could
see them, that the good people of
Holly will accept this as the at.
tempt of wounded hearts to convey
to them an idea of the gratitude
which we feel, but know not how
to express.
