Detected In Tsmbezzlement the Kansas
City Posimaster Ends His Life.
KANSAS CITY. March 16.-To escape ar
rest for embezzlement of government
funds Frank Mapes, postmaster for this
city. committed suicide in his own resi-
dence. On Thursday last two postoffice in
spectors arrived here and Investigated the
office. Upon their arrival Mapes showed
no uneasiness, but as they pursued their
Investigations through Friday and Satur
day he became nervous and depressed in
spirits The inspectors finished their work
Saturday night, and their investigation
proved the postmaster to be an embezzler
from the general funds Of the office to the
amount Of probably 50, 200.
Mapes undoubtedly knew the condition
of his trust and it is evident he feared
arrest today and decided upon death. His
manner Of ending his life was sensational
in the extreme. He complained of being
i'll and retired to his room Soon after
ward he had mis- wife send for three men
who had been friends of long standing.
When these men arrived at the house, Mrs.
Mapes met them at the door. No sooner
had she swung open the door than pistol
shot rang through the house. Mrs. Mapes
and the three men ran to the postmaster 5
bedroom. They found him in the agonies
of death. He had blown out his brains and
died almost instantly.
The deceased was appointed postmaster
by President Cleveland three years ago.
He had long been prominent in local and
Kansas politics. He was under $40, 600
bonds to the government, with local busi-
ness men as sureties. The funds embezzled
are said to have been squandered in gam
bling and drink. Deceased belonged to the
Knights Templar and Elks. His family is
provided for by S10,O 900 life insurance
which he carried.
