DEATH SELF-INFLICTED. EVIDENCES OF WORRY. Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. (Reed. 8.10 p.m.) SYDNEY, May 12. The inquest disclosed that Mr. Kaarlo J. Naukler, Consul for Finland, committed suicide. A doctor gave evidence that deceased came to him and said he had injected morphia into his leg because he was upset over his wife leaving him, and asked if the doctor could save him. The remedies tried proved unavailing. According to other evidence Naukler had been overworking and was suffering from mental strain.
The verdict was that death was caused by morphine wilfully self-administered.
