.FLOATER IS BODY
OF HAMMOND MAN

Suicide is believed to be the motive
for the death Of John Piontek. whose
badly decomposed body was taken from
the East Chicago canal yesterday sf-
,eruoon. \ boy wandering by the
water saw the body floating on the
surface and notified tho East Chicago
police, who recovered It.
Piontek, who resided at 232 Mich
sau avenue, Hammond vas thought
20 have become despondent over con
tinued hard luck. as shown BY papere
found in his potkets. Receipts show
that during the war he was a liberal
contributor to the red cross and other
charities. but pawn tickets show that
this period OF prosperity was followed
by bad times. in which he was forced
to pawn his watch and chain and a
ring. II is thought that he los+ his
job during the business depression al
the first Of this year. and was unable
TO find more employment.
The body was taken to Burn un-
dertakiug pariors for the inquest
which will be held shortly. At late
hour il was not known whether or not
the man had any relatives residing ir
this part Of the country. The polio.
have no record OF man reported miss
ing near the time Piontek Is thought tc
have ended his life.
