Former County Man Slashes Throat

Columbus, June 12 –

Holding a small mirror before his face to see just exactly how to wield the
razor, Freeman Mathews, a grocer, cut his throat from ear to ear this morning. 
His wife found him in a pool of blood dying.  The jugular vein and windpipe were
both served and death soon came.  Mathews had been in ill health and despondent.

				--------------------------

Friends and relatives at Howard and Butler, where Mr. Mathews was reared and
educated, were grieved and shocked to learn of his rash act.  Funeral and
interment took place at Howard yesterday afternoon.  Mr. Mathews was about 44
years of age and is survived by his wife and one married daughter.
