MYSTERY IS CLEARED
KNIFE Used by Suicide 30 Years AGO
Is Found

"A thirtT-Year mystery was cleared
up recently ut the Hancock count,
(O) infrmary when George Bale,
found a butcher knife between two
studdingS in one of the walls of the
abandoned buildings which is being
torn down by order of the county com
mSSioners.
Thirty years ago an inmate of the
institution cut his throat from ear to
ear. No knife or sharp instrument
was ever found with which the deed
might have been committed.
According to the theory advanced
after the discovery of the knife by
Bailey, the suicide placed the knife on
top of beam and it fell between the
studdingS. whore ii remained for thirty
years. The knife still retains it's razor
edge and is only slightly corroded.
