Life by Suicide.
ROCK WEIGHTED ABOUT NECK
Wife Seeks Absent Husband in Sub
urb When Officer Calls, at Home
to Break the News of His Tragic
End.

The mystery surrounding tho disap-
pearance Of Edmund J. Pendleton
sixty years old janitor Of the Ginter
Park Public School. last Thursday
morning was cleared up yesterday
morning when his body. swollen to
thrice It's natural size. was found In
the canal at the foot of South Thir-
teenth Street. The discovery was made
by Richard Wood. colorcd. Of 5O7 North
Eighteenth Street.
Wood reported the matter at once
to Policeman Duggins. and an ambu-
lance was called. The body was found
to BIO weighted down with rock
weighing fifty pounds. The rock was
attached to the corpse with rope tied
about the neck. Coroner Whitfield was
notified and he viewed the body, di-
rectins that 1t be taken to the morgue,
pending an investigation relative to it's
identity.
News soon came to the coroner that
Pendleton was missing from his homo,
40 Belvidere Street. and soon rela-
tives came to the morgue and identi-
fed the body as that of the late janitor
OF the Ginter Park School. Upon learn
ing this. the coroner gave instructions
that the body be sent to Christians
undertaking establishment.
WIFE THOUGHT HE WAS
ON A VISIT TO RELATIVES
Mrs. Pcndleton. widow of the janitor,
was-not at home when an officer called
to tell her the news. She was in a
distant suburb. the officer was told by
'neighbors, trying to gain information
that would lead to the discovery Of
her husband, never for moment be-
lievinE that anything serious had hap
pened to him. Mr.. Pendleton was last
seen alive by his wife and other rela-
tives on Thursday morning. when he
left home. saying he was going to the
school-house to clean up the premises
preparatory to the opening Of the fall
term. HE may have gone to visit rela-
tives in the country" Mrs. Pendleton
told a neiGhbor.
Later she became uneasy and asked
the police to search for him, saying
that he might have wandered away and
met with an accident. Furnished with
description OF the missing man. the
police searched for Pendleton for three
days.
1t was surmised by the police that
Pendleton, for some reason known only
to himself. decided to end his life and
that he studied out method that
would make the tragedy void Of the
spectacular. He is thought to have
sought secluded spot on the side of
the canal and to have tied the rock
to his neck and then to have plunged
in the water.
Mrs. Pendleton almost collapsed when
she heard Of her husbands tragic
death last night. She said she knew
OF no reason for his act.

 w. w. Hughes & Go. of Little Rock are the agents for Hays Specific, the great system tonic of which John K. Hendricks, the famous Honest John,'' ex-Congressman from Kentucky, said i: believe Hays Specific to be an effectual and complete cure for ecze- ma, and valuable remedy for other ills. I am not interested, directly or indirectly. in the medicine, but 1 am acquainted with the gentlemen who are putting it up, and krtDw they are |strictly business men, and would not fool away their time with anything resembling humbug. I personally
 know that the remedy they are sell ing has cured some ugly cases of ec- zema. I have taken it for indigestion and it has given me more relief than any other prescription I have ever tried.
 When such men as Col Hendricks endorse Hays Specific, the great system tonic, the public is fortunate to find it sold and fully guaranteed by w. w. Hughes & Co. Beech and Prospect, Pulaski Heights.
