Disappearance of Prominent Lawyer.

ST.. LOUIS, May % -Ex-Judgo Cnes
ter II. Krum left this city for Chicago
on April 26 h, ostensibly to attend TO
some law business. Since then ii has
been learned by his father, Judge John
NJ. Krum, with whom he had a law
partnership, that he vas very sick Id
Chicago, and last week he stated that
his son was at DIR. VIM. U. Hammond's
in New York city, being treated for
some disease. A telegram received
from New York to day, however, stated
DR.. Hammond had no knowledge
waateve- of Chester krum. Inquiries
were then made at the latter's resi-
dcnce and of his father at his law ilice,
but the answers were refused. 1t was
further stated Judge Krum had since
acknowledged to Sheriff Mason, whose
legal adviser Judge ktum, Jr., il, that
no one was CogniZ int of his sons
whereabouts. A few days ago the
probate court Issued n citation op

Chester Krum is administrator. Ho
has failed to maze arepOrt tine court
since July, 1882 He has also failed
to report on the estate Of Daniel w.
Dell, Of which he is also administrators
Under these circumstances, Mr.. Krums
disappearance, if it may be so called,
causes much comment. He it ono OF
the best known lawyers in st. Louis,
pl ointment republican, and was ap-
pointed u. S. district attorney by
President Grant, and was subsequently
elected judge of the circuit court here,
but this position he resigned, how ever,
in order to act az counsel Tor the de-
fense ia the celebrated whisky trials Of
several years ago. The whole affair,
his disappearance or absence, Is IN
yolved in much mystery, aud the reti.
cence Of his family and friends is re-
garded as very singular to say the
least. He Wss engaged III
several importan. law suits here 70 at.
tend 10, in which bis presence is alb
solutely necessary. There are ugly
rumors that ne has lost several thous-
and dollars playing poker lately, bua
Of this there is no direct evidence.
