    • Motorcycle Officer Takes Own Life

      ANDREW MILLER

      SHOOTS SELF

      THROUGH HEAD

      Body Is Found Late This

      Morning in Garage

      at Kaukauna

      Andrew Miller, 28, Kaukauna,

      county motorcycle officer, shot and

      killed himself early this morning In

      the garage in the rear of his home.

      "With a bullet hole in his left temple,

      the body was found In his automobile

      by his mother at noon today.

      Following an investigation, Dr. H.

      E. Ellsworth, coroner, announced

      that no inquest would be called. It

      was a clear case of suicide, officials

      decided.

      The motorcycle officer was a son

      of Mr. and Mrs. Michael Miller,

      Ninth-st, Kaukauna, with whom he

      lived. He entered the employ of the

      county in 1925, but left in 1926 to

      accept -work at the Combined Locks

      Paper Co. mill. He also served as

      motorcycle officer at Kaukauna for

      a period. In 1927 he resumed his

      work with the county.

      Miller was last seen about 10:30

      last night by his father as the latter

      left home to go to work at Combined

      Locks. The son drove away in his

      car as the father left the house.

      When the elder Miller returned

      home about 11 o'clock this morning,

      he noticed his son's" car in the garage,

      so he entered the house and

      went to bed, believing that the son

      was doing some work in the garage.

      At noon, when Mrs. Miller went

      to the garage to call her son to dinner,

      she found the body in the front

      seat of the automobile. She imme-

      diately returned to the house to

      arouse, her husband, who notified

      authorities.

      The officer and his wife were di-

      vorced at few months ago.

      Besides the parents, he is survived

      by one brother, Michael, Jr.; and five

      sisters, the Misses Agnes, Mathilda

      Leona, Clara and Rosina all of Kau-

      kauna.

      The body was removed to the

      Greenwood Funeral chapel, Kau-

      kauna, where it will be kept until

      Monday. It will be returned to the

      home Monday.
