Etienne Ouellet Commits Suicide.

Etienne Ouellet Commits Suicide. An ordinary shoe string was the means used by Etienne Ouellet to com init suicide Tuesday morning in the home of Joseph Gilbert on South street When the hanging occurred about o'clock, Mrs. Gilbert was at tending the French mission services in St. Edwards church, and upon her re- turn found the body near the bed, in a half kneeling position, with piece of string frightened about the neck. A isimilar piece of. string was tied to the led post. Dr. Bard was summoned and declared it a case of suicide by means of hanging. Ouellet, it seems, tied the string to the post of his bed and looped one end about his neck, then he knelt down in order that the moose might tighten. When he be- came unconscious he fell forward and the string snapped. MT. Ouellet had been an inmate of the State hospital for about two years and was released early last summer.
