Apparently the smystery surround
ing the identity of dhe man who COM
mitted suicide about two weeks ago
by jumping off Pennsylvania train as
it was passing through the Richmond
yards, has been solved.
From photograph of the body,
John F. Carr, 1924 Pitt street, Ander-
son, Ind, identified the man as his
brother-in-law, Dean Rucker, aged 80,
Vallonia, Jackson county. Ind.
When Carr asked to view the body
and was informed that it had been
sent to the state anatomical board at
Indianapolis, he was greatly provoked.
He modified his resentment when in
formed that the body had been kept
at local morgue for about ten days.
although the state law provides that
unidentified bodies shall be sent to
the anatomical board after five days.
The body is still kept by the state
board, so Carr will have no difficultsl
in securing possession of it.
Lived With Mother.
Carr informed the police that Ruck
er had been living, until recently. with
his mother, Mrs. Susan M. Rucker at
Vallonia. After a stroke of paralysis
she was taken to the home of her
daughter, Mrs. ]. Harvey Coffey, near
Salem, Ind. Rucker then became de-
spondent, being very fond of his moth
er, and it is believed by Carr that this
dependency affected his mind

him There was an Akron (Ohio)

"The Mexican government in its de-
