Veteran Glassworker Ends Life With Acid
Kokomo, Indiana, January 15. - Darius "Bert" A. Beaty, 65, resident of this city for about twenty-five years and foreman of the yards at the Pittsburgh Plate Glass company for many years, committed suicide Saturday afternoon at his home in Sharpsville where he had been living for the last year after having moved from this city because of ill health.
Mrs. Beaty and her daughter, Mrs. Eva Raymond, returned to their Sharpsville home from Kokomo Saturday afternoon at for o'clock and found the body of Mr. Beaty stretched across the bed and a note written and pinned to his sweater telling that he had killed himself with carbolic acid.
Tuberculosis from which he had been suffering for the last eighteen months and which had forced him to quit his work at the glass factory here, was believed to have caused him to commit the rash act. The widow, four sons and two daughters survive.
