Blacksmiths Ends Life In Lorain Telegraphed Despair
Lorain February 2. Corner Miles Perry of Elyria was pronounced dead by his own action after a bankbook showed $200 in Central Bank. Friends say his suicide stemmed from the loss of his 15 year old daughter and his inability to locate her. Alexander Zbirajewski 55, a B and O blacksmith, shot himself after declaring he was moneyless and tired of life. He was found in his room at 1612 Broadway with a revolver in hand, a pool room manager among those discovering him. He had recently lived with Joseph Bernatowics since Christmas. Witnesses recall his threats to kill himself over his vanished daughter and finances. Evidence in his trunk included soldier caps, letters, Polish patriot items, and letters from his Pittsburgh relatives. He had once served as an officer in the Polish army and was a noted Polish worker. A blacksmith union card and War Chest receipt were found among his possessions.
