Due to Alcoholism.

Chicago, Nov. 15.-The post mortem
examination held by DR.. 8. T.. Hall on
the body of B. T. Ketchum, the mil
iionaire banker, who died suddenly Sat
nrday morning, revealed the fact that
death was due to chronic alcoholism, no
trace Of any poison being found. An in
quest will be held by the coroner at 10
o'clock tomorrow at 1921 Indiana street,
where Mr.. Ketchum died, and it is
probable that the verdict will entirely re-
move the cloud from the young and beau

RAISES A LEGAL QUESTION.

..n Murderers to Go Free.
Bismarck, N. D., Nov. 15.--An inter-
esting legal question Is presented by yes
terday's lynching of three of the Spicer
m,irderers. Two Of the men, Hoytrack
and Ireland, were the states witnesses,
and without their testimony the state
has no case against the surviving sus-
poets, Backhawk and Defender.
There is, therefore. now no possbili-
ty of convicting them before any tribunal
for, the reason that the states wit
nesses are dead. At the coming term Of
court, when the two men are arraigned
for trial they must be dismissed. The
feeling against Blackhawk has been IN
tensified by the report that COudert, he
fore his hanging, said that Blnckhawk
and Defender were concerned In the
crime. 1t has been the opinion of
large number of people in Emmons
county that Blackhawk was the 'nsti'
gator of the crime, and If he IL dis
charged it Is predicted thar unless nc
has an escort out of the country he Will
share THE fate of his comrades in crime
Defender. the other surviving Indian
has consumption and 1t is Thought cal
not live over a year. Two of the meI
lynchedii are wards of the government
and the ,lynching may bring about some
