CHICAGO, Ill.,. July 22.-Mr. Trow-
bridge, the father, who was so severely
denounced by his daughter Nora as the
real cause of their misfortunes, is said by
those who know the circumstances to have
deserved no such harsh words. He has
managed the property of his daughters
for them, and they have been well and
literally treated at his bands. On account
of recent real estate transaction they be-
came imbued with the idea that he was
abusing his trust, and it is believed that
their already erratic minds dwelt on this
belief so constantly that they became in
sane on the subject. They had monthly
income of 1925. and their own house, SO
that their fear of starvation, or beggary,
was not we'll founded. No inquest yet.
