DEATH TO AVOID DISGRACE.

Select knights Poisons Himself.

BUFFALO, N. Y, Sept. Il. -Antici-
pating exposure in the convention to-
day Z. NJ. Dennison, state treasurer
of the Select Knights, A. 0. U. W..
now in session here, killed himself
last night. He is said to be a defaulter,
but to what extent cannot be learned
until after a thorough examination Of
the books.
1t was not until the convention as
sembled here that the grand officers
became suspicious that Dennison's
accounts were not all right. Then
various discoveries were made and
an investigation was decided upon.
In one instance it was found that
Dennison had not paid out 81, 600
which he had been authorized to use
in settling a death claim, but had con
verified the money to his own use and
had made various excuses to the
claimant.
Dennison got word of the threat
ened investigation and acted ner-
vously during the morning. Last
evening a servant heard groans in his
room and the hotel clerk broke in the
door just as he died. A physician re-
ported that he had died of chronic
disease of the heart, but the coroner,
after an investigation, concluded that
it was 4 case of suicide by poisoning.
Dennison had been treasurer of the
order for two years, and was under
bonds which will protect the order.
