Suicide by Poison, Cutting Throat, and Jumping; All One Guy!

1911--

MAKES CERTAIN OF DEATH.

LOS ANGELES, Cal., March 24.— After swallowing poison and cutting his throat, Wesley Churchill, 40 years old, leaped today from the top of the 11-story Storey building. He landed in an alley and was mangled into a shapeless mass. Churchill, who had a large family, had lost his position as foreman in a factory because of failing health.
