SUICIDE'S BODY BURIED
A.S. Parmer, of the Thornberry neighborhood, was a caller at
the Times office today. W.S.
George, the man whose body was found yesterday, was employed
by Mr. Parmer. The body was buried
within a few feet of the spot where it was found last night after
it had been viewing by the
Coroner and the Sheriff of Clay County. Mr. Parmer says that
the dead man had been acting very
queerly for some time and there is but no doubt that he committed
suicide. A dollar and a half
was found in a wallet on his body and some money was found in
a suit case in his room at Mr.
Parmer's house. The body is so badly decomposed that burial on
the spot where it was found was
necessary.
