SUICIDE IN POLICE CELL

Despondent over his hopeless condition as a result of the
excessive use of liquor, Jacob Gill, a familiar character in
police circles, hanged himself in a cell in the police station
at 4 o'clock Tuesday afternoon. He used a roller towel. Gill
was taken in at noon. Relatives had planned to send him to the
Keeley cure.

Coronor Lynch concluded death was the result of an insane
impulse and decided not to hold an inquest. The deceased was a
son of Mrs. Johanna Gill, 111 North Henry St, and was 44 years
old.
