A TT AI ------ Of August 27, 1927 WINNETKA TALK 31 UNKNOWN MAN HANGS SELF ON BILLBOARD Signet Ring Bearing Initials "J. P." Sole Clue to Identity of Suicide The morgue of the Lewis funeral par- lors on Central avenue, Wilmette, this week received the body of an unidenti- fied man who, sometime early Sunday morning, took his own life by hanging himself to a bill board on 15th street, north of Elmwood avenue, at the north limits of Wilmette. The body had not been identified early Thursday morn- ing. An inquest into the death sched- uled for Tuesday morning of this week was postponed until Tuesday morning, August 30, pending identification. Two possible clues to identification of the man failed of fruition early this week, He was at first partially identified as one Henry Fisher, a gar- dener, employed by various families in Wilmette. This proved wrong when the gardener in question ap- peared at his accustomed tasks Tues- A second clue came to naught after a Chicago woman, learning that the initials on a signet ring in the posses- sion of the dead man tallied with those of a long lost brother, failed to identify the remains.
