HANGS HIMSELF
IN RIVER PARK
AT SOUTH ST.
Ties Rope to Tree and Jumps
Over River Bank Opposite
Governors Mansion
HURT IN ACCIDENT
Dependency Caused by Long
Illness Cause; Asks Wife and
Children to Forgive

Eli G. Miller, aged about SO years,
701 Benton street, shortly before IL
o'clock this morning, committed sui
eide by hanging himself to a tree in
River Front park just opposite the
Governors Mansion at South street.
Dependency resulting from injuries
received in an automobile accident
last July is believed to be the cause
of the act.
Rivermen noticed him wandering
10 o'clock this morning. His body
was discovered hanging from a small
tree on the river bank about 1910
O'Clock. A few minutes later police
arrived on the scene with a pulmotor,
but although the body was still warm,
all efforts to resuscitate him failed
A note found on Miller's body asked
his wife and three children to forgive
him for what he had done. He de-
clared his physical condition had
forced him to the act. He also asked
that the undertaken who took charge
OF the body "be as easy as possible"
on the family.
The body was found with the feet
touching the ground and both hands
holding on to a branch of a nearby
tree.
Miller, who was employed as an en-
graver, by p. G. Diener. the jeweler,
was struck by an automobile driven by
Paul Bratten last July while on his
way to work. His one knee was so
badly injured that he has been unable
to work since that time. with the ex-
ception of a few weeks. Brooding
over his crippled condition he seemed
unusually respondent for the last
week.
He is survived by a wife and three
children.
