INFORMATION Wanted by Life-Insurance Com

ST LoUrs June 22.-Another startling devel-
opment in the Maxwell Preler case was made
public to day. James #. Brady, representa-
tive of Cooks Tourist Agency, of London. Eng
land, in this city. received long letter from
the agency to use every effort to learn whether
it was truth and fact that C. Arthur Preller
had been murdered, as reported and his body
been placed in trunk The document went
on to say that Mr. Preller, before leaving Eng
land, had insured his life in Cooks Agency TO
heavy sum, approximating 800. 900. The com
pany had first observed the indifference of his
relatives regarding the disposition of the re-
Mains and this caused suspicious. Since the
announcement Of Mr.. Prellers death, the letter
stated his relatives had been bringing eve
rything to bear on the company to pay the JIM
surance money The manager of the agency
believed that it was best to wait awhile, es-
peciay after having read the accounts pub
lished in London papers concerning the attempt
of Maxwell to buy body in Boston. Mr.. Cook
asked Mr. Brady to wire him full particulars of
the case ana forward what legal evidence there
was regarding the mans death. The agency IN
sured Mr. Preller on his former trip. and also
insured him once when he went on the Cont
nent They have refused to pay over the insur
ance money until every doubt of Prellers death
is removed. The smile of Maxwell when ar
rested and his statement that all would be ex
planned at the right time. are treasured up by
