SUICIDE VERDICT
! IS RETURNED By
! CARPENTER JURY
—
Decomposed Body of W. F. Carpente
Is Discovered In Slough;
Suicide Claimed.
The body of a man discovered in
a slough about two miles east of
town yesterday and reported to Com
missioner McDonald by Nick Ketz
ler, was found to be that of Wm. F.
Carpenter who had been reported
missing for some time and on whose
behalf the local lodge of Moose, the
Pioneers, as well as many friends,
had been making inquiry.
Ketzler had intended putting up
some cordwood on the land lying
to the east of the mission, and for
this purpose was cruising in the
neighborhood of the slough when
he saw the body of a man in the
water in an upright position propped
up by limbs of a partly submerged
tree close to a log on which the
slough is crossed. The body was in
an advanced stage of decomposition
and had a deep gash across the
throat. Some papers were also
found on the log lying across the
slough.
Commissioner R. S. McDonald and
Deputy Marshal Hagan immediately
proceeded to the spot in the Com
mission lanuch Sunflower, and re
turned to town late yesterday even
ing after viewing the remains.
A coroner’s jury chosen to hold
the inquest, proceeded to the scene
of the occurrence and on their re
turn met at the office of the United
States commissioner this afternoon
and returned the following verdict.
In the matter of the inquest upon
the body of William F. Carpenter,
deceased- Verdict.
“We the jury in the above en
titled matter, do find that the name
of the deceased above mentioned is
William F. Carpenter, that his age
was about 47 years, and that he
came to his death at some time after
the ICth day of May, 191S and be
fore the 25th day of May 1918, and
his death resulted from a self-in
flicted wound and hemorrage, and
we further find that no person is
criminally responsible for the death
of said William F. Carpenter.
(Signed) BERT WILSON

TOM JOHNSON”
Owing to the much decomposed
state of the remains a high spot of
land above the reach of floods was
selected close to the spot where
the body was found and interment
made.
District National Director Fred
Zickwolf, of the Loyal Order of
Moose, and Chaplain Wm. Casey, of
the Nenana Igloo, Pioneers of Alas
ka. officiated at the graveside and
read the burial service of the res
pective orders, of both of which
the deceased was a member.
