DID BARRON KILL HIMSELF?
DEXTER, Me-, Jan. 80, /

DEXTER, Me- Jan. 80. 1872
The Barron tragedy to q SAD conclusion to-
day. II is stated upon the authority OF the officers
of the bank that detectives who have recently had
charge of the matter have como to the conclusion
that Barron committed suicide. The detectives de-
clare that the position in which Barron was
found In tho vault. handcufycd and gagged,
with the double doors of the vault locked
upon him, could have been caused by himself. This
has been demonstrated by actual trial, the whole
being accomplished in less than five minutes time
by one of the detectives. The caiaa for committing
suicide would naturally be supposed to be deficiency
In accounts the msappcation of the funds
OF the bank. Whether this is tho cause or
not cannot be definitely stated. II seems
Improbable that large deficiency existed
that he could not easily have made IL whole from
property he held in his own name. N must have
qurcd very deliberate planning the part of Bar
to arrange all tho little details Of the matter to
give the appearance of ali attack by burglars. Tho
bank officials are hard at work TO ascertain what
the actual state OF affairs at thet timc but pro
muGa:e tbs as the CONCLUSIONS Of the detectives.

to bring suit against this State which
will be almost as novel and important the suits
recently instituted against the railroads. 1t is held

another. 1t is proposed to pnt this question to
test. A donation of 100000 in funded coupon
bonds will be made to certain Southern

1t is understood that proceedings will then be in
sttute by which that State will bring suit against
Tennessee for the amount of these funded coupons
