Frank Nelman Takes His Own Life With Chloroform. After Securely Locking the Doom He Sat urates Handkerchief. With Chloro form anil Drawl Theui Over Ilia Face and Kuterg Lpon 111a Lutt Look Sleep Had Attempted Suicide Before. From the ellects of chloroform ad ministered by his own hand Frank Neiman lies dead in the undertaking rooms of Streight & Streight. He was found at his home on North Seventh street at 8:30 last evening and it is be lieved he has been dead since Satur day night. Deceased was a nephew of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Stadelmann and had been in the habit of visiting them at fre quent intervals and regularly on Sun day evt nings, when in the city. Ho did not call at their home last Sunday evening, and Mr. Stadelmann sup posed he hud gone out in the count.-y to vL-it friends as ho frequently did, but to make sure of his whereabouts Mr. Stadelmnn went to tho Knights of fythias hall lust evening where the l dre w is holding a meeting and in quin d about N- iman. None of the members had seen him and D. O. Dwyer and Rhece Walker were up pointed a committee to go to his house and nee if he was at home. Found Dead in Ilia ISed. Neiman lived alone and upon arriv ing at his house they found the doors locked, but finally broke in and were shocked to find him lying on the bed cold in death. He had saturated two or three handkerchiefs with chloro form and placing them in his cap had drawn them over his face. The bed clothes were also placed about his head. Messrs. Dwyer and Walker immediately notified Deputy Sheriff McIJride and Coroner Sattler and the dead man was removed to the under taking rooms. Deceased was past chancellor of the Knights of Pythias lodge of this city and the members of the lodge have watched him closely for a number of years as he was known to bo insane a portion cf the time. He attempted suicide about two years ago by lock ing himself in the K. P. hall and turn ing on the gas, but his plans were frustrated by other members appear ing. After this act he was adjudged insane and was taken to the asylum at Lincoln. After six months he was pronounced cured and sent home. However, his old affliction came back on him. He started a cigar factory at the corner of Fifth and Main streets last spring, but he soon gave it up. nis sister, Mrs. Coon Vallery, com mitted suicide by shooting herself in this city about three years ago and his mother passed away about four months later. He was born in New Orleans, Lt., in 1S-53, and after tho death of his lather in 1865 he removed to this city with his mother and sis ter where he has since resided. The funeral will be held tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock under the auspi ces of the Knights of Pythias lodge and enterment will be made in Oak Hill cemetery. Owing to the fact that there was no certainty as to how or when the man met death Coroner Sattler decided to hold an inquest, which was done at 2 o'clock this afternoon. The coroner's jury found that Neiman met death by his own hand fmm chlo'-oform. la Without Foundation.
