James Thomas Mauck, 34, a painter, | was found dead in a gas-filled room in | his home, 724 Euclid street, by his wife, Mrs. Frances Mauck, shortly after 6 o'clock last evening. Mrs. Mauck said her husband was discouraged at his failure to secure em- | ployment in his trade. He last worked | in November, according to the wife. Mrs. Mauck believes the immediate cause of her husband’s suicide was an eviction order obtained in Municipal Court yesterday by the real estate firm from which they rent their home. They had not been able to pay rent sincc | last December, she said, and her hu band was downcast at the prospect of | being dispossessed. ! Funeral arrangements are being made by the National Lodge, No. 12, Masonic | Order, of which he was a member. | A certificate of suicide was issued by | Corcner J. Ramsay Nevitt, who viewed | the body.
