J. d. lion a Ac Hon, Dunmoro, Pu.; John V, Donahue, 1 Uifnntnn I FRANCIS FOUND HANGINGBY A ROPF HE .DISAPPEARED FROM HOME LAST THURSDAY. Three Months Ago Ho aufforod n Sun Stroko nnd Since Then Ho nns Been Slightly Demented Deceased Resided at Green Ridge nnd la Survived by a Wife nnd One Son, Harry E. Francis He was Stock Buyer for the D. L. & W Company. The body of James K. Francis, of 170! Monsey avenue, who disappeared from homo last Thursday morning, wns found hanging from a tree In 11 lonely woods beyond Nny Aug park yesterday morn ing nt 11 o'clock by Flora Lisle and Henry Pllger, two young men, who wore out chestnuttlng. There Is no doubt but that bis death was tho re sult of a very carefully planned scheme on tho part of tho unfortunate man to put an end to his life. The two young men had started out on a rhcstnuttlng excursion nnd were tramping through a patch of woods about 1.000 feet beyond n road loading from the boulevard and known ns Snook's addition, when they discovered tho body of tho unfortunate man hang Inr from a tree, the feet three or four feet from the ground. There were two trees growing to gether with a space of nbout two feet between them. The rope, which was about three or four feet long, was tied to a limb running across tho space be tween the trees nnd the body hung be tween them. A limb about llvu feet from tho ground undoubtedly served as it stand for the deceased while ad justing the rope and from this ho must have Jumped. The knots were care fully tied, Indicating that Francis wns perfectly cool and collected while per forming this operation. P.ADLY DECOMPOSED. The body wns in a bad state of mor tification and the stench arising from It was almost unbearable very near it. Tho two young men hurried to 11 tele phone nenrby and notified police head quarters, who In turn notilled Coroner Konerts. Offleor Sloat was dispatched to the scene nnd, together with IPark Policeman McN'amara, arrived at the spot about 12.30. The coroner started out nil right and reached tha Intersection of the boule vard nnd the road known ns Snook's addition. He left his carriage there and started out for the plnce where the body was hanging. He did not know the" exact location of the spot, how ever, and had been searching vainly for" It through the woods for nearly threo (uarters of nn hour, when he was met by Olllccr Sloat. who had gone In search of him. and conducted him there. The body was Immediately cut down nnd laid on the ground nnd a thorough examination of tho clothes made. In one pocket was found an envelope nd dressed to Mrs. James Francis, 1709 Monsey avenue, Scranton, Pa. and some small change and a knife were found In another. The backs of both hands were cut nnd gashed to quite an extent and the coroner is of the opin ion that the deceased had made an at tempt to cut nn artery before hanging himself, thinking, perhaps, to kill him self In this manner. The coroner took nossesslon of the knlfo and will make a microscopical examination of the blade for any traces of blood thereon. HANGING: SEVERAL- DAYS. He Is of tho opinion that the body had been hanging there from two tn three days, owing to the state of mor tification In which it was found. There were no signs of n struggle, nnd the deceased undoubtedly died almost In stantly. Undertaker Raub removed tho body to his undertaking rooms on Spruce street, where It was Identified by Harry K. Francis, a son of the deceased, who had been notified of the sad affair by a Tribune man. Young Mr. Francis said that his father left home last Thursday morn ing, ostensibly to visit some relatives in Park Place, and that when he did not return that night inquiries were made, but no one. not even the parties he said ho was going to visit, bad seen him. Ho undoubtedly killed himself sometime on Thursday. Had It not been chestnuttlng time, the body might have hung undiscovered for weeks, as that section of the woods is very sel dom traversed. Tho deceased was up to three months ago employed ns general stable boss nnd stock buyer for tho Delaware. Lackawanna, nnd Western company. Three months ago he suffered a sun stroko and had not worked since. Ho had been slightly demented since then, but not enough to cause any alarm and wns generally thought to be im proving. He gave no warning what ever to anyone that ho contemplated taking his life. He was very well known and popular throughout this en tire vnllev. He Is survived by n wife and ono son, Hnrry E., an Inspector for the Pnncoast Coal company.
