ASYLUM INMATE KILLED HIMSELF ORLAN VINSON THREW HIMSELF BEFORE NO. 32 AND GROUND TO PIECES BODY STREWN ON TRACK Reason for the Suicide Not Known Jumped From Behind Bush and Was Instantly Killed. Train No. ,. 32, from . Indianapolis Avas rushing along at full speed near Easthaven this morning about 9 :35 when suddenly, on rounding a curve, a man was seen to hurl himself under the wheels of the rapidly oncoming engine and in an instant he was ' ground to pieces. The brakes were applied and the train stopped as soon as possible and the conductor ran back to investigate. The torn and mutilated body of a man was scattered along the track for a distance of fifty feet or more, while parts of his body had been hurled to a distance of several yards. The body was that of an inmate of Easthaven and the authorities there were at once notified nn dthe remains of the unI fortunate man taken to the asylum. It was ascertained that the man who had thus deliberately committed suicide was Orlan Vinson, whose former residence was Summitville, Ind., and who was brought to the asylum a few years ago suffering from insanity as a result of epilepsy. His relatives there were notified of Vinson's suicide. At first there was some doubt as to the manner and cause of Vin son's death, some thinking that he might have had an epileptic fit, but this idea was quickly cast out by the engineer's declaration that the man suddenly appeared irom behina a bush and jumped on the track not more than a yard or so in front of the engine, which was running along at Ihigh speed. Suicide was the only motive, it seemed to the trainmen and hospital authorities. Vinson was working near the railroad track this morning and it is supposed that he hid behind the bush until the train was rirht upon him and then hurled himself in front of the engine. The train was running at high schedule sneed when the terrible ac cident happened and the engineer and fireamn both saw a clear track when the accident occurred. Premeditated suicide was the only reason or cause that can be assigned as the train men say they saw nothing until after the train had run over Vinson's body. This seems to be a tailend of the wave of suicide that swent over Indiana a few days ago. This train is the one that was al'most wrecked Tuesday by boys piling stones on mond. the track in West RiehREP AIRING ROOF. Men are engaged today in repairing the tile roof on the court house.
