lyzed by the sworn medical authorities, Il sus-
picion being entertained that he swallowed
poison
Another dispatch says that the cut in the
neck was only superficial, and that death was
caused from loss of blood rt the wrist.
The London Daily News receives with some
doubts the reported cause of Baron Bruck 8
suicide, and would rather attribute it to the
despair OF Il statesman taSked beyond his

The London Times states that no doubt is
now entertained that the whole extent OF the
Union Bank frauds has been discovered. Pull
linger and Lyrtleton both gave security to the
bank TO the amount of Il, 900, which will OF
course be recovered.

has already been realized frcm the assets of
Pullinger in the hands OF Stockholders and
there may be hope OF further sums. Lyttle-
ton, from all that can be ascertained, is be-
lieved to have been mere victim OF Puilin-

Individual will soon be in custody.

voluntary evidences of person connected
with the bank, whom he employed 10 make

vided that partnership shall be no bar to a
prosecution for fraud or other criminal OF
fences.

han who with his partner, Sir John Paul,
| was subse. uently Condemned for apprOpri-
! ating the securities of his customers.
