BRIDGET RYAN'S FATE
Killed for $40, Which the Murderer
Failed to Get
MORNING TRAGEDY at HINSDALE, NY
The Victim Engaged to the Brother
Of Her Slayer.
ODD FEATURES OF THE CASE.
FORMING TRAGEDY at HINSDALE, MY
ODD FEATURES OF THE CASE.

BUFFALO, N. Y, June 19-De tails Of the
death Of Bridget Ryan near Hinsdale, N Y,
have been received. Miss Ryan owned Q valua-
BILE farm and hired three brothers, William,
Gus and David Willovsr, to work 1t for her.
Early yesterday morning DIR. Vincent of
Hinsdale was awakened by David Willover
who. trembling with excitement, informed the
physician that Miss Ryan had been shot.
The doctor accompanied the boy to the Ryan
house, where the woman was found on the floor
dead. though her body was still warm. She
was partly dressed, and in her left breast was
an ugly wound. Lying near her was an old
rifle. which bore evidence Of having been dis
charged, and investigation showed that the
terrible wound in the woman's body had been
produced by 1t.
A search Of the house was made and the fol-
lowing unsigned note was found: '.You need
not think she killed herself, for she did not. ]
know she sold some hay, and thought would
get the money. She said she had not been paid
for it yet, but knew she had and killed her."
Back OF picture on the wall q pocket book
containing $40 was found. This was evidently
what the murderer was after.
Gus Willover has disappeared from Hinsdals
and is naturally suspected Of the crime.
Some advance q theory Of suicide and saw the
woman wrote the note and then shot herself.
There we're bloody finger marks on the outside
Of the door and on some boards piled up near
the gate, and there Is little doubt that the
woman was foully murdered.
Thirty years ago her father vas murdered In
the same house.
Gossips say that Miss Ryan Was engaged to be
married to VIM. Willover. who was recently
sent to the Erie county penitentiary for burg
larry. The boys all bore bad regulations.

WILMINGTON, N. c., June 19-The bank of
New Hanover was not opened this morning
and following notice was posted on its doors:
lowing to the withdrawal Of more than
$500 900 Of deposits and notice OF over e15O, 900

forced to make an assignment to Junius Davis,
in the interest Of all concerned. Depositors

All unpaid collections Of Bank of New Ham
over have been turned over to the Wilmington

Trust Company and the bank was crowded with
depositors. The bank is paving full amount on
all deposits of $50 under and ESQ on all larger
deposits. No deposition under this rule can
draw over $50 without thirty days notice.
There seems to be no doubt of the entire
soivency of this bank and that it can meet every
obligation.
The run on the Wilmington Savings and
Trust Company continues, but confidence IL
being restored by the Official assurance of j. n
Atkinson. president, and II. Walters, vice presi-
dent. that every COLLAR on deposit will be paid
out continually in the regular course Of bust
ness and that the doors of the bank will not be
closed.
