"Fairfield Ledger Weekly", April 13, 1881'

Sheriff CHESTER shows us a letter he received this week from the man John NEUHAUSER, Berne, Ind., whose name was mentioned in connection with the attempted suicide at Lockridge. Mr. N. says the man’s name is Antony BERDOLL, that he is a German, unmarried, and has lived in that vicinity about seven years; that he left there March 31st for Oregon. Mr. NEUHAUSER also says that his violent attempt to take his life was probably the result of an attack of 'delirium tremens', as BERDOLL has been a hard drinker of late.
