Louis, 24, who made his home with his father, George Louis, sr., four miles east of Columbus, was found dead in the family auto in the garage shortly after 9 a.m. today, apparently the victim of self-administered poison, as a glass containing a small quantity of what was believed to be a deadly poison was found on the floor of the car. Dr. W.S. Evans, summoned after the body had been discovered by the father, said that Louis had been dead for several hours and notified County Attorney Emil Luckey who after an inquiry in his capacity as county coroner announced that no inquest would be necessary. The young man is believed to have gone to the garage and taken the poison early in the night. He was sitll sitting up, listening to the radio and smoking, when his father retired about 10:30 or 11 p.m., the elder Mr. Louis said today. Two brothers, Richard and Herbert, had retired before their father and another brother, Jake, who also makes his home there, was away for the night visiting a sister. The father noticed nothing unusual in his son's behavior during the evening and knew of no motive for the young man's act, he said today. When Edward did not appear at breakfast this morning, his father and brothers thought he might not be feeling well and after breakfast, went to his bedroom. They discovered that the bed had not been slept in, where-upon the father started a search which ended in finding the body of his son in the car. He at first thought Edward was the victim of gas from the car, until the poison glass was discovered. Edward H. Louis was born Sept. 8, 1908, and lived all his life on the farm where he died. He was graduated from District No. 9 school, a 10th grade school, but did not continue his education further. He was known as a quiet, industrious young man of good habits. He had helped his father on the farm since becoming old enough and was always dependable and a good son, his father said. Mr. Louis was a member of a prominent pioneer family of his community, being a grandson of the late Jacob Louis, sr., one of the founders of Columbus. The young man is survived by his father, five brothers, George jr., Charles, Jake, Richard and Herbert, all of Columbus, and four sisters, Mrs. Charles Luckey, Mrs. Harry Engel, Mrs. Robert Rice, of Columbus, and Mrs. L.J. Brown, of Clever, Mo. Arrangements for the funeral have not been completed but it will probably be held next Sunday. The body will lie in state at the Gass Funeral home until Saturday afternoon.
