County Home Inmate Dies In Reservoir
Coroner Declares Case Is Suicide Due to Melancholia
The body of Horace Ackley, 52, a resident of the Onondaga County Home since 1931, was found floating in the little reservoir there this morning about 50 feet from the shore line. Coroner William R. Winne, who was called to investigate, declared the drowning a suicide, caused probably by melancholia.
Ackley, who gave no references when he entered the home, had been missing since early last night, and attendants at the home knew of no one whom he might be visiting.
He was seriously ill when he came to the home, but had recovered somewhat in the last three years and was able to get about by himself, attendants said.
A post card from Sequoit addressed to Ackley gave morgue attendants a clue that he might have had relatives in that village. The body was taken to the morgue.
