Short in Accounts; Takes His Own Life

Unable to turn over lodge money when the auditing committee went over his books, led Frank Sincola, [unclear] South Center avenue, Chicago, to take his life Wednesday morning in Evanston. This was learned at the coroner's inquest Wednesday afternoon. The man for the past few years had been secretary of both the Buss camp of the Modern Woodmen and the Bohemian Turners. The first of this year he was defeated for reelection in that order but when his books were turned over to the new treasurer they were found to be all right.
About two weeks ago the Woodmen notified Sincola they were going to make the regular semi-annual audit of his books. He told them they would be ready June 26. Wednesday morning he was found dead, having swallowed carbolic acid in a vacant house on Harrison street.
he was short about $200 with the Woodmen and about $400 with the company for which he was employed. Friends at the inquest stated that they would have gladly made up his shortage had he told them, but no one knew of it until Wednesday when the misappropriated funds were discovered. A short time later the lodge men were notified of the suicide.
