YOUNG MAN SUICIDES
Asa DelOughery Shot Himself Near
Laclede Monday Morning

relatives as Asa Deloughery, aged
81, from near Bedford in Living
ston county, was found dead in
his motor car by the side of the
road a mile east of Laclede about
TOO O'Clock last Monday morning.
The discovery was made by Rural
Carrier Finney shortly after he
had started to serve his route.
Taking Jay Stark, who lives
near the scene of the tragedy, Mr..
Finney returned to town and
notified Constable Sayles, who
with Undertaken Thurman and
several others went to where the
car was, just a short distance east
of the Turkey creek bridge,
After noting carefully the po-
sition of the body, the conditions
of the car and surroundings, the
constable took charge and brought
the car to town and took the body
to the Thurman undertaking estab-
lishment.
In searching his clothing a
letter was found addressed to Asa
Deloughery, Chillicothe, written
by Chillicothe young lady.
A representative of The Blade
at once got in communication with
parties at Chillicothe and soon had
, his father, Nike Deloughery,
located at his home some twelve
miles southeast of that city, and
within two hours several auto
mobiles from that vicinity, bring
ing his father aud uncle and aunt,
Mr.. and Mrs. John Deloughery
with whom he had made his home
and other relatives and friends
were in Laclede and identified the
body.
Coroner Holmes having arrived
from Linneus at once convened an
inquest court and began taking
testimony.
Mr.. Finney testified that when
he made the discovery the body
was reclining in the right end of
the back seat of the car, the left
leg extended along the seat and
the right foot resting in the
bottom of the car. There was
clot of blood on the forehead. and
blood had trickled across the face
and clotted on the lapel of his
overcoat. His right hand, clutch
ing a revolver, his thumb on the
trigger, rested on his brest, the
the muzzle pointing toward the
body. The young mans hat and
gloves, and some photographs
were in the front seat. The pic
lures of two young ladies were
torn in two. \ His clothing was in
order and there was no evidences
of there having been a struggle or
any other party having been about |
the car at the time of the tragedy.
The testimony of Constable |
Sayles, E. Thurman, j. w. Reed,
Jay Stark, and Others who viewed
the body before it had been touch |
ed, was practically the same as {
Mr.. Finney's.
The testimony of relatives show '
ed the young man had spent Sun 6
day afternoon auto riding with a j
young lady and another couple in '
bis car, accompanied by another G
car containing four young people. '
They left Chillicothe about dark
and drove to the Wampler home i
about three miles of Bedford where Z
all the party remained except Asa S
Deloughery and Miss Green U
await. They left there in his car $

that was the last time he was seen
alive.
Evidently he had driven direct
to Laclede and to the spot where
he took his own life.
Within all the mass of evidence
taken there was moth ing to show
why he chose self-destruction.

Asa Deloughery, do hereby find
hat the said Asa Deloughery came

hat he died of his own act by in
entionally shooting himself in the
orehead with a pistol, that Ed. j.
Ninney was the finder of his body,
md that he died at the place where
lis body was found. We are un-
.ble to determine the cause Of self
destruction.
