ment against j. r. C. Gorrell the real

which he failed to turn over 10 the land
lord
The warrant was placed In the hands
of Constable Bowers, who has not as yet
served 1t. The reason assigned for this
non-seryice is the subsequent non
appearance of the prosecutor.
When an EVENING JOURNAL reporter
called at Mr. Gorrel's office this morning
he found the genial broker closeted with
Professor Reynolds, the expert accountant
Mr. Gorrell disclaimed al knowledge Of
the warrant, and referred the reporter
to Peter L. Cooper, Jr., his counsel.
In an interview Mr. Cooper said
There is no ground for warrant, and
in my opinion it will not be served. An
attempt Is being made TO sottle Mr..
/ Gorrells business in manner which
/ will be satisfactory 20 all his creditors.
/ There is no evidence of embezzlement.
/ He is a man who has been unfortunate.
His clerks in time gone by have robbed

Suicide.

Ex-senator Evarts' son-in-Law Commitsi
Suicide.
NEW YORK, July 2O-Dr Charles d. Scud-
der, a son of the late Henry J. Scudder and
son-in-law OF ex-senator William NJ Evarts,
committed suicide in his mothers home in
Northport, L. l. DR.. Scudder had been in
poor health for some time, and went TO
Northport with an attendant It was his
intention 20 stay there for several weeks
When he got off the train it was noticed
that he acted strangely. He seemed to pay
no attention TO his surroundings, but kept
muttering TO himself and gestculating
wildly. A carriage was waiting for him,
into which he was quickly ushered, and the
vehicle was driven away to the old country
mansion. II was thought that few weeks
stay at the Scudder homestead would be Of
benefit TO his health.
DR.. Scudder rested quietly until after day
light He then became restless and at $3.50
o'clock he insisted on getting up. His
brother tried TO persuade him not to, but
the doctor broke away and ran out of the
room. On his passage through the dining
room he grabbed up a carving knife and
then continued his flight out of doors.
When he reached the grounds surround
ing the house he ran 70 the nearest tree.
Here he stopped and placed the handle Of
the knife against the tree, with the point
just below the center of the left breast
Then he wound his arms and legs around
the tree, and using all bis force drew him
self TO it, forcing the blade Of the knife into
his heart
