The Mysterious Death of j. d. Wendell in
This City on June 30

The Cleveland Herald of yesterday contains
the following, concerning q recent death in this
city.
"a letter was received at the Kennard House
yesterday. addressed to its proprietor, signed
by Clifford E. Smith, member Of the firm of
BoutOn Smith, dealers in carriage
furnish ing goods, of n and 10 Bowerv, New
York, with the request that the Kannard House
register be examined for the purpose of ascer
talnlng the date of the arrival, departure and
probable destination of Mr.. ]. D. Wendell, IL
travelling agent in the employ of the firm. Mr..
smith wrote that tho last communication MS
firm or his vile received from hun was dated
Cleveland, Kennard House, June %. He then
wrote that his health was perfect, but did not
notify the firm TO his next stopping place.
Nothing was heard of hun after his Cleveland
letter. until tue firm received a telegram from
indianapolis stating that he had died there on
the 29th OF june almost week after ne left this
city, for the register shows that he only re-
manned here one day-the 23d of June. Further
Investigation revealed the fact tnat he arrived
at Indianapolis the 9th, about four days
after he left Cleveland.
ga piece of paper found his person,
after his death. with the inscription; 'Drugged
and robbed in Chicago and from the time of his
arrival at Indianapols lie was either insane
or IN unconscious condition. Mi.
Smith ordered the body to be embalmed and
shipped TO New York, which was done. and it is
probable that an Investigation, iii which Cieve-
land is concerned, VIII be had, for the manner of
his death is very mysterious one. Mr.. Wendell
was well-known trading agent, and made fire.

A Journal reporter, in looking up the cir
eumstances of Wendelrs death, last night,
ascert0ined the following facts. He
came to the Grand Hotel week
! ago last Wednesday, and engaged quarters
as he had been accustomed to do on his frequent
trips here. He had evidently been pro-
tracted spree, from the effects of W hich inn an
nation or the BRAIN set IL ana the man died on
the following Friday. DR.. Brennan attended
MN, ana did everything IN his power to arrest
, the disease but 1t WAS beyond the skill of ply
slclan. From letters in his possession lt was
ascertaned that his home at Hampstead
Long Island and the remains were shipped
there IN accordance with the directions OF mis-
relatives. The proprietor of the Grand Hotel
States that no such paper was found that de-
/ scTibed in the Herald indicating that Wendell
had been drugged aud robbed III Chicago. He
sold supplies to tho WOOdburn-Sarveu Wheel
works here, md the first iHtimaiiOn that the
managers OF this concern mad that he wac IL town
was by a dispatch directing them To prepare his
body for burial and snip It East.
