Milwaukee — (AP) A dead man came back to Milwaukee under custody of a United States marshal.

The man was Elmer Cronce, 62, of Shawano, Wis., and he died while enroute to Milwaukee in the custody of  W. R. Phillips, deputy United States marshal.

Unable to furnish $1,000 bail when arrested on the charge of having moonshine liquor, Cronce was being brought to Milwaukee to await trial.

“He was in good spirits and was telling me of his hunting experiences up in the North woods,” Philips said. “Suddenly he doubled up and explained that he had a strange feeling. He tried to fight it off for a few minutes and then suddenly collapsed.”
