188	Man	Unidentifed	unknown	08/01/1913			3	COMMITS SUICIDE BY HANGING HIMSELF ---Willie Spiegel Takes own Life --Sixteen-year-old youth found dead in barn on George Hartman Farm Yesterday. -- Willie Spiegel, 16 years of age, was found hanging from a beam in the barn of the George Hartman farm, three miles southeast of Bloomington, near Woodlawn Cemetey. His body was cold in death when discovered by William Cox, his uncle, with whom he made his home. It is thought that he had been dead for several hours when the uncle arrived. No reason is given by the family for the rash deed of the young man. So far as known he had never mad complaints of his lot in life to members of the household, but since the sensational death of Mr. and Mrs. Cox recall some strange actions of the youth which were at the time not considered. HOME IN CANFIELD, MO. -Willie Spiegel lived in Canfield, Mo., with his mother until last fall. At that time he came to Illinois and started to work for his uncle who is engaged in the dairying business. He was seen the last time yesterday morning about 10:30 o'clock and was next seen in the state of death. Mrs. Cox had missed her nephew and mentioned the fact to her husband when he returned from delivering the milk. In the search which was instituted Mr. Cox went to the hay mow and there found the young man. HUNG BY A STRAP. -- A strap, a part of a line, had been tied to a beam in the haymow. From all evidence the boy had jumped from this beam after having tied the strap in a slip-knot. His neck was probably broken. It looked as if he were merely standing with his head bent forward. Upon investigation it could be seen that all the weight of the body was on the strap, altho the feet were nearly level with the floor. Coroner Hare was notified and with Deputy Sheriff Morrison hurried to the scene. The body was cut down and brought to Bloomington, where it will be held until some disposition is made by relatives. The inquest will be held this morning in the coroner's office of the court house. LITTLE KNOWN OF BOY. -- But little is know of the boy. He had been in the emply of his uncle, Mr. Cox, since last fall, coming to this vicinity from Canfield, Mo., where his mother is now living. He was about 5 feet 6 inches tall and rather stockily built. An air of mystery surrounds the affair. Mr. and Mrs. Cox were excited and nervous yesterday afternoon that is was practically impossible to learn anything regarding the boy or his life. Neighbors stated yesterday that he was industrious and from all appearances was contended (sic) with life." Pantagraph, 4 Jan 1913, p. 11

When he reached a point a mile and a quarter north of the city, he met with the accident which caused his death. WALKED INTO TRAIN. --From the statement of the trainmen, the man deliberately walked into the approaching train. Whether he di so, with suicidal intent or whether he was unaware of his periloous position, is only a matter of conjecture. It is known, however, that he was in an intoxicated condition and was seen staggering up the track. BRING BODY TO BLOOMINGTON. --Coroner Hare was summoned and went to Towanda last night and brought the body back to Bloomington on train No. 79. the body was taken to Flynn's undertakig parlors, where it was prepared for burial. Coroner Hare will hold the inquest at his office in the court house this afternoon at 2 o'clock. WAS LOCKED UP IN TOWANDA --Coroner Hare learned from the Towanda city marshal that Maskowski and a companion who gave his name as Frank Schmidt, were locked in th calaboose at Towanda Tuedsay night. It is thought that the accident victim is one of the men, presumably Maskowski. Whether he gave a fictitious name is not known. He is a man between 35 and 40 years of age."
