DIR. SCUDDER DEAD.
The Chicago Murderer of His
Mother-in-Law.
A PROBABLE CASE OF SUICIDE

The Deed Done in His Jail Cell Where
lie Was Awaiting TriaI-Morphine the
Agent of Death, and the Chicago Jail
officials Positive That He Meant to
Kill Himse1f-Brief Account of the
Crime He Committed
CHICAGO, June 21.-Dr. Henry MARTIN
Scudder, held for the murder of his
mother-in-law, Mrs Mary Dunton, died at
the county Jail at 1912 o'clock this morn
ing from the effects of morphine supposed
to have been self-administered. The Off
GERS at the Jail adhere to the theory that
he committed suicide, as every circum-
stance connected with his death, they say,
points to such conclusion.
Suspected His Intention.
The officers az the Jail have been suspi-
cious for some time that DR. Scudder was
contemplating suicide, and extra precau-
tions were taken against such fatality.
His cell was thoroughly searched few
days ago and the turnkeys were satified
that 1t would be impossible for him to
take his own life with the means at his
disposal He must have had some secret
place of concealme at, however.
A Last Interview with IA Brother.
Yesterday afternoon he had prolonged
interview with his brother, but his spirits
appeared to have suffered no depression
in consequence. Between and he sat
chatting with two OF the guards, John
Donovan and Harry Hail. He laug hed
and joked with perfect freedom, there be-
ing not the faintest appearance of any
weight upon his mind. Shortly after 9
O'Clock he was locked into his cell, and was
never seen alive afterward.
The Crime He Committed.
DR.. Scndder, on Sunday, Feb %, last
murdered his mother-in-law, Mrs. Dunton,
and while there pushed her husband, an
invalid, out of the room and then beat
Mrs. Duaton over the head with some
weapon that has never been found, frac-
turing her skull and causing her
death later. He had previously
obtained her signature to will that was
much mo ,e in favor of his wife than a
former will, Mrs. D;a'0n not knowing at
the time the true import OF the will. Since
his arrest he had appeared insane

One of the arguments being used among

day night was one which even Tom Pat

was the statement that Senator Teller had
said to southern senator that if German
was nominated he would advise the Re-
publican voters of the silver states to
support the Democratic ticket Patterson
said frankly that he did not believe the
story, and proved to be justified in his
unbelief, as a telegram from Washington
says that Teller repudiates the statement
in toto.
