Especial Telegram to the Globe
ROCHESTER, N. Y, Nov. S.-The impress
sion gains ground that A. B. Johnson, who
committed suicide, may have been a de-
faulter. Investigation shows that he was
trustee of the property of the late James
Mcdonnell, of this city, and half brother
of Mrs. Mcdonnell, still resident here.
When James Mcdonnell lost his
health, six years ago, his eststate
was valued at 100000. OF this amount
100000 was in profitable real estate and
the remaining 100000 consisted of gov
srnment bonds, real estate, bonds and
mortgages and all other securities. Nc
Donnell died about three years ago, and
control of the property has since remained
exclusively in Johnson's hands. All the
proceeds of the real estate passed into the
hands of Johnson as trustee up to the time
of his death. Several yell known business
men understood to have scme knowledge

the Mcdonnell estate express ed
fears that the personal estate
would be found to have been impaired by
unfortunate Wall street speculations, in
which it was known Johnson had been en-
gagged. These gentlemen ascribed the
suicide of johnson to this cause and no

and these facts, coupled with the fact that
the securities belonging to the Mcdonnell
estate were all transferable, led to the
gravest apprehensions.
