MAN DIED WITH
SUICIDAL INTENT
Coroner's Jury Gives Yer
dict in Death OF linden
titled Man.
is STILL UNKNOWN

The coroner's inquest into the cir
cumstances under which an unidenti-
fed man was killed by southbound
train on the Chicago, North Shore &
Milwaukee Electric railroad, while
walking along the right-of-way of the
company on Thursday evening, June
21st, gave out its verdict following an
investigation with the testimony Of
witnesses at the municipal court We'd
nesday afternoon. The verdict declared
that the deceased stepped close to the
track in the path Of an oncoming train
with suicidal intent.
Testimony of five witnesses was rec
orded in the course of the inquest and
each tended to show that the unknown
mans movements were queer and that
it was not through neglect on the part
of anyone but the dead man that the
deceased was killed.
DR.. H. A. Robinson, company physi-
clan for the railroad, testified on the
condition of the body when he arrived
after hurry-call to the North Shore
station where the mangled body had
been taken after the accident. The man
was struck full in the back in such a
manner as to expose his lungs and kid
neys.
Motorman Tells His Story.
Alfred w. Newsome,, motorman of
train 432 due at Kenosha at 10:46, tes-
tilted that he first noticed the man
walking northward along the tracks
between Prairie and Grand avenues
when he had just passed the Grand
avenue crossing on his southbound trip.
He told of the queer actions Of the
man, how he hesitated, raised his arms
upward toward the east as though ap-
pealing to heaven, without noticing in
the least the warning signals being
constantly sounded by the motorman.
He continued to tell how, after the
train had struck him, the conductor, E,
w. Anderson, and himself picked up
the man, still breathing heavily, placed
him on a stretcher and took him to the
North Shore station at Elizabeth street,
Police officer Ed Pecan told the cor
oner's jury how he had been one of
the officers to answer the call of the
police ambulance to the station. Emil
Meissner, secretary of police, also tes-
tilted at the inquest.
Identity is Still Mystery.
Photographs of the dead man, togeth-
err with a description and his, finger
prints have been sent to army head
quarters at Washington and to Fort
Leavenworth Bulletins have been sent
to police stations throughout Illinois
Wisconsin and Michigan. All of these
carried a complete description of the
| tattoo marks on the arms and fingers
! of the unknown man.
Up to this afternoon no report had
been received at the police Office OF
anyone who thought he might be able
to identify the body. 1t was declared
that the case would probably go down
into the annals of mysterious identi-
ties and that it was hardly likely that
it would ever be identified.

NEW, YORK, Jan. 1S.-Dun's
Weekly Review today says:
with the extension OF previous
gains, business has. more than
held it's favorable position. The
holiday season had brought less
than the usual showing down In
basic industries. 81:
while the price movement Is
irregular, with certain sellers max
ing concessions, there Is well-defined
strength in some important
branches, as In iron and steel and
textiles. The question OF delivery
becomes more prominent and the
matter Of price of smaller impor.
lance in cases where the urgency Of
needs is disclosed, and It Ii reas-
surfing that current shipment Of
goods are facilitated.
Reports of further increases In
employment Of workers come from
various parts Of the country. and
retail. distribution, If varying in
different localities, is OF heavier
volume in the aggregate.
The turnover has been active at
the special January sales, but there
will be a better test OF the DISPOSE
ton and ability Of consumers to
purchase when recent price adj
vances on some merchandise are
passed on to the counters. Mean.
while, the fact that stocks have
been generally reduced is considered
q favorable augury by primary in
terests, who receive. more inquiries
and actual contracts covering fu-
ture reQuirements."
