Police Claim Supposed Hit-and-Run Victim Died of Heart Attack.
William BEELE, 79, of 523 Van Buren, who suffered a fractured hip the night of
March 25 at Sixth and Van Buren, died Tuesday afternoon in a Topeka hospital. Al
MADER, police department's traffic lieutenant, said physicians informed him that
death resulted from a heart attack and not the accident.
Beeler was found in the street and rushed to the hospital. Officers who
responded to the call found no trace of any motorist and any witnesses to the
accident. Lieutenant Mader said officers at first thought Beeler had been a
victim of a hit and run accident but later it developed he could have been
injured in an accidental fall.
Beeler had been a resident of Topeka many years. He was born  April 17, 1868. No
close relatives survived. He was a member of the Salvation Army. The funeral
will be at 2 p.m. Thursday at the Salvation Army Citadel.

(Note: Beele and Beeler spelled as printed in newspaper.)
