Leper Hanged Himself
Duluth, Minn., July 1 - Ole Knuseth, who for 14 years has been a victim of 
leprosy, put an end to himself Saturday night by hanging himself.  Several 
years ago he was sent to an isolated farm several miles from the city, on one 
corner of which a hut was built for him.  The past few months the disease had 
been affecting the man's sight and although he might have existed a number of 
years, in a few weeks more he would have been totally blind.  His body was 
found hanging from a rafter of his house while a note was left to the effect 
that he was "glad it would soon be over."
