Took Life Because of Worry

Eli M. Oberdier, fifty years old, of York, committed suicide Oct. 24, by hanging 
himself in the stable of Noah Ness on the same day that he was to appear at a 
hearing before Alderman N. C. May on a charge of having attempted to assault 
Mrs. Augustus Rosher.  The prosecution for which friends and relatives assert 
there was not the slightest grounds, prayed upon the defendant’s mind and caused 
him to end his life.  His wife and daughters allege he was the victim of 
persecutions.
