JUDGE CHESTER KRUM.
His Mysterious Departure-No Clue to HE
Whereabouts.

ST. LOUIS, May 26.-Judge Krum's
absence still remains mystery. The
Spectator Of to-day publishes the following
account Of his departure; On the after
noon OF the 26th OF April, he went to his
home on Locust and told his wife he was
going to Chicago, and that he would take
his Vaise with the ordinary amount OF
linen'in It. There was nothing startling In
an announcement Of this kind, and
Mrs. Krum proceeded TO make
such preparations for his departure as
were necessary. As he was ready to leave
the house he turned back and said he be-
lieved he wonld take trunk, which he
packed himself, saying he might be gone
longer than he expected. When he was
ready TO start the second time he ordered
carriage and asked Mrs. Krum and the
children, seven In all, to go with him to the
depot. This was something he had never
done before, and Mrs. krum was struck
by 1t, as she also was by his unusual ten
derness in saying goodbye TO her and the
children. That was on Thursday evening.
The following Friday he was seen in CHI
cago, and on Tuesday Of the next week he
took dinner at the Albemarle House, New
York, his name being written on the regis
ter in a scrawlng hand, quite unlike his
regular signature. Since that time up to
this writing there have come no tidings Of
Judge Krum. His brother.in-law, Mr..
Hugh McKiurick, Of the firm Fof Crow,
Hargadne Il Co., went TO New York, but
he wrote back that he could find no trace Of
the missing man, and that he feared he had
either gone abroad or committed suicide.
All this, coupled with the fact that Judge
Krum morlgaged his household furniture
for $500 the day before he left, proves con
clusively that this is not an accidental dis
