BDDY IS FOUND Dr. Win. Warner of Vera Cruz Commits Suicide by Hanging Self. WAS A DRUG USER Formerly a. Professor in Ohio University — Missing Since March 2. Undoubtedly having become insane through his inability to secure t. le drug to which habit he had become addicted, Dr. William Warner, aged 62, a prominent physician of Vera Cruz, just east of Bluffton, committed suicide by hanging himself from a rafter on the second floor of his home. Dr. Warner was last seen on March 2, the day after the new law prohibting the sale of habit-forming drugs went into effect. On this day he was in Bluffton and had visited every drug store and physician in that city in an endeavor to secure some ‘ snow.” It is thought that after he reached home he immediately went to the second floor of his home, of which lie was the sole I occupant, and fastening a wire to a | rafter, hung himself. Becoming alarmed over his disappearance, three residents of Vera Cruz, Jno. Biberstine, Rolland Heche and Orris Masterson, forced an entrance to the home at ten o'clock this morning and discovered the body. Dr. Warner had been a resident of Vera Cruz for over twentyfive years and is well known in the surrounding community. Before coming to Vera Cruz he was professor in the Ohio State university.

Two daughters are living but their, ad dresses have not as yet been found. o —’ The will of James Wigner was probated this afternoon before Special Judge P. G. Hooper.
