STRANGE SUICIDE STORY.
Doubts Arc Entertained Us to the Re.
ported Death Of Joseph II. Louis. Who
Was Under Ten Thousand Dollars Bail.

New York, April 16-When the clerk
in Part l, General Sessions. today
called the name of Joseph II. Louis to
answer to four indictments for forgery
there was a startling announcement. A
clerk from the law offices of Rose and
Putzel said that his firm represented
the defendant, and that information
had been received that Louis was dead.
He committed suicide in Philadelphia
this morning. No particulars were
known.
Assistant District Attorney Davis,
who has had charge of the prosecution
since Louis was indicted, several years
ago, said that he did not believe that
Louis was dead.
The recorder was interested at once.
He began an inquiry about the source
of informa tion on which the lawyer act
ed. The clerk said that he had been in,
formed of Louis oath by Philadelphia
undertaken. But Mr.. Davis andthe re-.
corder were incredulous and the record
er ordered that the bail for $4,000 be
forfeited.
The story of she charges against
Louis was big one when it first came
ont. He was the manager of the firm
Of n. A. SchlOss & Co., of 553 and 555
Broadway. The firm manufactured
boys clothing Louis alleged specula-
tlons We're said to have aggregated sew
eral hundred thousands Of dollars. The
amount which was taken was never ac-
curately ascertained. but was so large
as to cause the failure of the firm in
December, 1898. for more than 81. .000. 400.
The story that developed at that time
was the talk of the clothing trade for
months afterward. The despatch an
nouncing the suicide purported to come
from Louis Good, an undertaken at 921
Spruce street, Philadelphia.
LOUIS IS DEAD.
Philadelphia, April 16-From what
vas learned here this afternoon there
is no question that Joseph H. Louis.
the alleged forger, whose bail for $1O,-
900 was ordered forfeited today by Re-
corder Goff in the New York court on
account of Louis non-appearance to
answer the charges against him, died
suddenly and the coroner's physician
held a post-mortem examination which
/ showed that the cause of death was
heart trouble. The inquest in the case
has not yet been held by the coroner.
After the post-mortem the body was

The vestry of st. Sepulchre, though some

that all the broken bell metal was ordered
TO be recast into three sound and tune

weight with the quantity of metal deliver
