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.
