The badly decomposed body of an un-
known suicide was found hanging from
.a tree in the Wildcat’jm-t er scam
Woods, off the turnpike, near the Nor-
waik-Darien line, about 9 o'clock yes
terday morning, by Frank Hiibbell, 01
Chestnut street, and Stephen Ung-
vury, of West street. who were giving
their bird dogs a run through the
wo‘ods, preparatory to the opening of
the hunting season, the latter part of
this week.
The suicide picked out a dismal spot
to end his life, along distance mm the
road... and tantrum any path. He had
to fight his‘ way to the place of his
death through thick bushes and luxu
' ‘ rIIious undergrowth.
The man had hung himself by means
of an unusually slender cord. from a
very small tree, scarcely strong
enough to bear the weight of his body.
The tree was alongside a stone wall,
from which he jumped after carefully
doubling the cord several times over
the crotch of the tree, and placing a
loop under his neck and another over
the back of his head. He had to dou-
ble his knees to keep his feet from the
ground, until death came.
The body had been hanging for
three weeks'and over, and was so bad-
‘ly decomposed that the features were
unrecognizable. The only means of
identification which would tend to
show from whence he came. was an
empty half-pint whiskey bottle, which
was found at his feet, and which bore
the label of a. Bridgeport saloon.
The Sentinel man furnished a com-
plete descriptibn of the suicide to
Bridgeport.Polic‘b Headquarters, but
officials of that department. stated they
' have no record of a man answering to
it who has been ‘reported missing.
Chief William R. Pennington, of the
Norwalk Police Department, said this
morning he had no account of a miss-
ing local man, who would fit thede-
scription. It is thought .he came from
a distant, city, slid had been aimlessly
wandering in this vicinity.
