The True Story as to the Cause of all the
Trouble,


The True Story as to the Cause of all tho
Trouble,
AKRON, o., Aug. 9-The scandal that
undoubtedly was the cause of the dOu-
BILE tragedy at Sharon last Thursday, is
just coming to the surface. TOtman,
who shot his cousin, Thomas Briggs,
owns four farms and Is worth $250,000.
He has handled the $60, 600 estate of John
Briggs, brother Of his victims father,
for six or eight years There recently
came from California, where JnO. Briggs
died, q MIS- Haskell, who has lived at
Sharon with the Briggs father and son.
It Is said that she brought information
leading the Briggs to believe that the
bulk of the estate TOtman was handling
had disappeared. The elder Briggs had
also accused TOtman to his face Of being
the father of the child born to his ward,
Maria Briggs, aged 18, who has lived at
TOtmaD's, and who Is one OF the three
heirs 70 the estate Of the dead Califor-
nisn. Maria was once started off for
California, just before the baby was
born, but csme back determined 10 face
the gossip which was then flying about
Sharon on swift wings. She died soon
after the birth Of her baby, and 1t was
taken to Cleveland. 0ae OF the two let
ters TOtman wrote just be-
fore the shooting was directed to Mrs.
Williams, of Cleveland, who has the
child. II is. believed she can solve all
the mystery that now surrounds the
shooting. Totmsn says he will lever
get up alive, and has to be watched to
keep him from again attempting suicide.
Hs says heshot Briggs on account Of the
charges Briggs father had made against
him, believing he could infiet greater
punishment on the man by taking his
sons life.- 1t is not likely that either Of
the men will get we'll.

if any other places, having so large num-
Der of younq men, in proportion to popu-

but we earnestly pray that the Spirit OF
God will turn your heart and mind to
favorable consideration of our appeal.
