Smith gave a verdict of suicide. Having quit his job at the West Alexandria Grain and Coal Company a few weeks ago, because of poor health, it is thought that he was despondent over his illness. He had formerly farmed. Joe Gardner a neighbor, heard Mrs. Glander scream and ran over to the Glander home and he and Mrs. Glnader's son James took the body down and used resuscitation methods but were unable to bring back life.
