“SICK OF IT ALL.”
Pkr Press Association. Thames, December 29
On the morning of the day before Xmas, Alfred Davey, a single man, aged 42, a miner, suffering from miner’s complaint, was heard to say he was “sick of it all,” and would end it on Christmas Eve. Since that date he had been missing, and no trace of him was found until to-day, when his dead body was found in the district reservoir. At the inquest a verdict of suicide was returned.
