THE DEXTER TRAGEDY.
THE DETECTIVES NOW BELIEVE
MIR. BARRON COMMITTED
SUICIDE.
The Cause Not Definitely Known.

DEXTER, January 80. The Barron tragedy
so-called, has come to a sad conclusion. We
have the authority of the bank officers for
stating that the detectives who have recently
had charge of the matter have come to the
conclusion that Mr.. Barron committed sui
eide. They declare that the position in
which Mr. Barron was found in the vault,
hand-cutied, and gagged, with the double
doors OF the vault locked upon him, could
have been caused by himself This has sIbeen
accomplished in less than five minutes time
by one of the detectives.
The cause would naturally be supposed to
be difference in his accounts or misap-
preparation of the funds of the bank
Whether this is the case or not cannot now
be definitely stated. 1t seems improbable
that such a deficiency existed and that he
could have easily made it whole from the
property he held in his own name
1t must have required a very deliberate
planning on the part of Mr. Barron to have
arranged all the little details of the matter to
have given the appearance of She work OF
burglars.
The bank officials are hard at work to as
certain what was the actual state of affairs at
that time, but nothing is promulgated but
this As the conclusion of the detectives.
The act of Mr.. Barron as at first viewed.
seemed so heroic and in keeping with the
character he had borne, that his memory has
been presented to the public as specimen of
virtue to Tighten the dark records of the de-
generate times. The announcement must be
received by the public with even greater sor-
row than the news of the tragedy.

THE POTTER COMMITTEE.

He displayed his scrap books with the re-
remark, Here are two volumes of despatch
es received by me. Laughter. The first
volume contains copies of the Florida des-
patches, with an appendix of miscellaneous
dispatches. The second embraces kilograms
referring to South Carolina rnd Oregon
Mr.. lliscock inquired if there had been any
complaint from the parties to whom the tele-
grams are attributed?
Mr.. Reid stated with the exception of Mar
Bile, there were no direct complaints, and in
that case Marble was perfectly justified, as
he was not the author OF the kilograms attrib-
uted to him.
The remainder of Reds testimony was un-
important, relNing only to the methods and
the persons employed in deciphering the tele-
grams
