CHICAGO. April 24.-Attorney- General Molo-
ney In an opinion rendered this afternoon.
decided that the gas companies OF this city are
maintaining trust In violation OF law. He
will institute proceedings at once to have their
charters annulled. The Attorney General
made the sensational statement In eonnee-
tion with the decision that he had positive
knowledge that at the time he was speaking
the trust was so alterin: its books and rec
ords as to make a favorable showing at the
trial OF tho case.
The Attorney General said that the evidence
submitted to him satisfied him that there was
really one CORPORATION. managed by one set OF
officers and that nearly all the stock VI all the
companies was deposited with the Fidelity
Trust Company Of Philadelphia. amounting to
81 l. 3St. 600 The total capital stock OF the
four companies amounted 20 sl4.0SI.OO0 It
was shown that they had a common offica. .
common set OF clerks common treasurer,
and a common purpose. Another evidence OF
eollusion, he said, H. that practically the same
men own the majority OF the stock OF all the
companies and are directors OF them.

Yesterday afternoon about 4 o'clock DOM

Hughes revealed that the man had been shot
In the right temple. and that probably he wac
alive when he fell or was thrown into the
water. The Coroner concluded that the body
had not been in the water more than few
hours.
The bullet. which was small. entered the
temple and took downward course. There
was bruise over the bridge OF the nose and
the left eye. The pistol-shot wound was
6laekened with powder. the pistol evidently
