PROBE DEATH Of
AGED VETERAN

The question of whether Frank
Sheridan, rs, a resident of the Sol
diers Home, jumped from the win.
dow of his room or whether he fell
during fainting spell, will be de.
cided by coroner's jury today. He
was found fatally injured early last
night and died at $40 p. m.
Sheridan served in the Army
from March, 1887, until June, 1889,
when he was discharged because
of disability. He has been an in
mate of the home off and on since
that time and an almost permanent
inmate for the past IL years.
Last night he was found lying be-
meath a small balcony that con.
nected with the window of his
room. Authorities said they are of
the opinion that Sheridan felt faint
and went to the balcony for air.
Sheridan was native OF ireland.
He was a widower and is survived
by one son, Thomas B. Sheridan,
of Baltimore.
