Did Lester r. Halliday Suicide or Was lie
Murdered

Buffalo, y. Y, March 2l.-Lester 7
Halliday died today and the police are
puzzled to know whether to believe his
ante-mortem statement or TO think he
committed suicide. With his dying
breath. Halliday reiterated the story
of a highwayman assault but the
bullet that pierced his lung did not
perforate his coat and vest. The shot
was fired close to the body. and the
revolver was found where il had been
flung from the bridge. all tending to
confirm the suicide theory rather than
that of robbery. The police have made
two arrests. The suspects are Lillian
Preston and Calvin Baker. the former
Halliday's sweetheart and the latter
his rival. The woman accuses Baker
OF threatening HaIliday's life. though
Raker does not answer the description
Halliday gave of his assailant.

Trusts Deed is Mighty Queer.
Indianapolis, Ind, March 21.-Louis
Ewbanks Of Indianapolis said today
that more sensational developments in
the Whisky Trust receivership case
may be expected soon. Relative to
the deed being filed in various counties
by order of the United States court,
Lawyer Ewbanks said:
This deed now in the hands of the
recorder of Dearborn county actually
conveys less than one-fifth of the real
estate belonging to the trust and none
of the personal estate. The deScrip-
lions are printed in small, close set
type and cover eleven large pages, and
the phrases which declare continued
ownership OF the personal estate. and
of so much Of the real estate are intro
duced about the middle of the page in
an obstrusive manner. OF course the
action Of the officers i'm using printed
description of the property in which
these Objectionable phrases are found.

OF the court, may have been entirely
