WOULD DIE IF SISTER WEDS
Wolfrung Kerscher, Gibson Man, Has Ordered Coffin
Planning for his funeral to be held on the day that his sister should wed, Wolfrung Kerscher, a Gibson man, is in probate court for examination as to his sanity. Kerscher, aged 44, declared that he would die if his sister married and ordered his grave for Tuesday, the date set for the wedding and invited a number of people to attend the burial. He threatened to suicide by hanging and for some time past has reiterated his threats. Two months ago, Kerscher disappeared for several days and lived on apples in the orchard. He has caused the family much trouble by his peculiar actions for some time. No action has been taken by the court.

KERSCHER SET FREE BY COURT
Gibson Man Signs Pledge for Year and Promises to Be Good
Signing an agreement to abstain from liquor for a year and promising that he will try to live in peace with his relatives during that time, Wolfgang Kerscher, the Gibson man, who has been in custody of probate court for several days, under observation in belief that he is insane, was permitted to go free nd returned to Gibson. Kerscher will make his home with a brother-in-law, F. Hessel, who assured the court that he would aid in caring for the man. Drs. Stahl and Roberts, who conducted the inquiry reported that Kerscher is sane. Kerscher was brought into court Monday on petition of relatives for an examination, it being feared that he was insane. It was charged that Kerscher had made threats to kill himself and this he admitted but declared that it was a joke by which he had hoped to dissuade his sister from marrying as she had planned on Tuesday, the brother being strenuously opposed to the union. Kerscher told the court that he could not get along with his relatives and claimed that his father owned him money which he could not collect. It was claimed that the patient had exhibited signs of mental decline on several occasions though he has never been violent until the attempt at suicide. Physicians who examined Kerscher refused to commit him after his explanation of his acts and the court ordered his release when he had signed the agreement to abstain from drink. Kerscher is said to drink only when he has trouble with his relatives.
