him in Chicago arc satisfied that his
mind is not right. lie says that in the
last three months he has lost over
S3, Coo, 900 and blames his son for his
losses, saying that if he had been let
alone he would have come out
oil right. lie also says that his
deals now on hand, if properly
manipulated, will bring him a profit of
S5OO,O0O. lie seems to have sufficient
money with him for all his wants. lie
claims that all the business he has ever
transacted was legitimate and that he
has never made business promise
that he has not carried ont or given
good reason for not doing it. lie
says he is far from being a pauper yet.

SON, {. L. Hutchinson, in Chicago, ask

fed, although it was known which of
the girls at work in the place had been
killed. Their faces were disfigured be
