Bedford (IN) Daily Mail, November 15, 1901, p. 2. MYSTERY ABOUT HOLLER Supposed to Have Died from Skull Fracture Received Tuesday Forenoon Coroner Voyles held an inquest Wednesday at Mitchell on the body of Willis Holler who died at his home there at four o'clock that morning under suspicious circumstances. Dr. Byrne made a post mortem examination in the presence of the coroner. There was no outside wound whatever visible on Holler except a small bump on the back part of the head, the scalp being uninjured; but when the skull was laid bare, a fracture or crack was found running around a space on one side of the head about four by four and a half inches. The doctor who made the post mortem has not reported to the coroner, and until he does, the coroner will not make a verdict, but there is but little doubt that the fracture caused Holler's death and that Dr. Byrne and Coroner Voyles will so find. As to how the fracture was received is a difficult matter to determine. Holler was drunk Tuesday forenoon about eight o'clock and creating a disturbance in Shube Burton's saloon, was shoved out the door. He fell on his hands and knees on the walk but soon got up and re-entered the place, falling immediately afterward with his head out the door but his body inside. Whether he fell from the effects of a blow could not be learned by the coroner. After he had laid in the doorway for some time, he was pulled inside and the door closed, and later he was taken to the back room of the saloon where he remained till the fore part of Tuesday night when he was taken home by five or six men who were examined by the coroner but did not throw much light on the matter. The fact that Holler was exceedingly drunk and liable to fall in such a way as to injure himself, and that there was no external wound on the head, leaves room for doubt as to whether he was struck by anyone.
