SUICIDE OF AN ENIBEZZLER
Postmaster of Kansas CITY. Kan
Ends His Life

Ends His Life
Kansas City, Kan, March 17.--To es-
cape arrest for embczzlement of gov
eminent funds Frank Mapes, post
master for this city, committed suicide
this morning in his own residence, On
Thursday last two postotfice inspectors
arrived here and began an investiga-
ton of the office. Upon their arrival
Mapes showed no uneasiness, but as
they pursued their investigation on
Friday and Saturday he became ner-
vous and depressed in spirits. The in
spectors finished their work last night
and their investigation proved the
postmaster to be an embezzler from
the general funds of the office to the
amount of probably $4,000. Mapes
undoubtedly knew the condition of his
trust, and it is evident he feared ar
rest. He decided upon death. His
manner of ending his life was sensa-
tional in the extreme. At breakfast he
complained of being ill, and retired to
his room. Soon afterward he had his
wife send for three men who had been
friends of long standing When the
men arrived at the house Mrs. Mapes
met them at the door. No sooner had
she swung the door open than a pistol
shot rang through the house. Mrs.
Mapes and the three men ran to the
postmaster's bed room. He had blown
out his brains and died almost instant
ly. .a. .. -, -. -.
Deceased was appointed postmaster
by President Cleveland three years
ago. He had long been prominent in
local and state politics. He was I'M
der SIC, coo bonds to the government,
with local business men as sureties.
The funds enlbezzled are said to have
been squandered in gambling and
drinking. Deceased belonged to the
knights Templar and Elks. He car
ried $4,000 life insurance.
