Murder or Suicide 
We are informed that on last Saturday morning Peter Foust was found 
hanging dead in his own house. His family were from home that night. 
There was a bruise across his forehead. he was hanging by a leather
halter with his knees reaching to the floor. As yet it is not
ascertained whether he was murdered or committed suicide. It will be 
recollected that Foust was suspected of having murdered Wheeler, and it 
is confidently believed that Wheeler's death has some connection with 
the said termination of his own life.
