WHO KILLED WHITLGCK I?
Tho Sum Of $4,000 Goes with
the Answer.
Payment Depends on Whether or
Not IL Was Murder.

Justice Landau and a jury In the Cir
cult Court, Brooklyn, to-day, are trying
TO settle whether the Fidelity and Cas-
ualty Company Is legally bound to pay
Mrs. j, w. Whitloch, of Brooklyn. SlO.-
900. The result hinges on whether Whit
loch was murdered or committed suicide.
He was formerly a resident of Brook
lyn, later a promoter of mining schemes
In the West.
On Aug. 1, 1890, Whitloch was found
dead in bed in the Pioneer House. San
Francisco, with a bullet hole in the
crown of his head. Mrs. Whitloch al
leges that her husband was murdered.
She says that he expected to receive
$40, 900 on the day he died or the follow
Ing day.
There were very few powder marks
n the vicinity of the wound. The pistol
,und near the dead man was a Smith "
lesson. long barrel. duelling revolver.
Mrs. Whitloch says 1t would have been
ipossible for her HUSBAND to have shot
mself in the spot where the ball en-
red with such a pistol. .
Che Fidelity Company claims that all
= doors and windows OF the room in
itch the dead mans body was found
re tightly locked. They assert that
was involved in financial difficulties
rad been drinking hard for several
prior to his death. The case was
decided for the Casualty Company
zones up on appeal.
