              Annie Van Dam Killed Herself
           
           At Muskegon, the coroner's jury in the case
         of ANNIE VAN DAM met and rendered a verdict of
         suicide. The authorities have from the first
         believed it to be such in spite of the suspicious
         circumstances, such as the gash on the head, and
         the absence of previous despondency, or indication
         of premeditation, and only a few witnesses were
         examined. No examination of the girl's private
         condition as furnishing a motive for suicide or
         murder was made. Chief of Police DANIEL JAMES
         was on the jury, as was also BERNARD DOMBUSH,
         father of the girl's lover, FRED DOMBUSH.
