Same date and paper

John L. Behm, 59, farmer, of
the Purdy road, town of Lockport,
took his life by hanging late Saturday
night after believing he had
succeeded in throttling his wife,
Clara, to death.
Mrs. Behm lay unconscious for
nearly 46 minutes before she regained
her senses and discovered
that her husband had hanged himself,
suspending his body by a cord
which he had attached to the bedpost
of his bed. His head was
Only 18 inches from the floor.
There had been no quarrel before
the tragedy, Mrs. Behm told
Dr. Ferdinand A. Kittinger, coroner.
She and her husband had spent the
evening together In their home, she
said. Her husband was in exceptionally
good spirits, she declared,
although he had brooded considerably
in recent weeks over his failure
to find employment. He had
been out of work for several
months she said.
After an evening of amiable conversation,
she and her husband decided
Just before midnight to retire.
Accordingly, she went to her bedroom
on the second floor, while he
retired to a room which he occupied
on the first floor.
"We've Got to Die."
Shortly afterwards, Mrs.
said, she beard her husband calling
for her.
As she entered his bedroom, she
told Dr. Kittinger, her husband
leaped at her and seised her by the
throat, at the same time crying:
"We've got to die, Clara."
He repeated the cry over and over
again as she vainly struggled to
free herself from his grasp, she said.
Then she lapsed into unconscious-
ness.
Regaining her senses about 45
minutes later, her first thought was
that her experience had been just
a terrible nightmare, Mrs. Behm related.
The severe throbbing In her
throat and the sight of her husband's
body, hanging from the bedpost
in his bedroom, awakened her
to the reality of her experience, ahe
said.
Touching her husband's body and
discovering it to be already cold,
Mrs. Behm ran in terror to the
home of a neighbor, where she
telephoned the sheriff's office.
Coroner Issues Certificate.
Deputies Oeorge Rawlings and
James Duffy hurried to the scene
of the tragedy. They summoned
the coroner, who ordered the' body
removed to the undertaking parlors
of Conover and Reynolds, 46 East
avenue.
Dr. Kittinger, after examining the
body and hearing Mrs. Behm's story,
issued a verdict of suicide by hanging.
