Hanged Herself.
Parkersburg, June 8.—When Fred Bohn, a farmer residing four miles from this place, went to the house for his dinner he found the place vacant, Mrs. Bohn having completely disappeared. Further search disclosed her lifeless body in the barn, where she had committed suicide by hanging herself with a halter to a rafter. No motive for the act is known as the woman ever seemed of a happy disposition and her family relations have been pleasant, Mr. Bohn being well to do financially. The inquest to-night resulted in a verdict of suicide during a fit of temporary insanity.
