view DR.. Touatre, one of the experts
of the board OF health and q physician

Startling Disclosures That Indicate Ras

StastbnS disclosures lhat Indicate Eas-
caIiiy First, Then Suicide.
Shepherd, Mich. Sept. 22.-Some start
ling disclosures were brought out in the
cviGoncc yesterday ct the Strubie in
quest. 1t was shown from the bank s
records that the dead cashier had at diff
fercrt times made sham entries of de-
posit in his books amounting to nearly
$4,000. and that hut for these fictitious
deposits the books would have shown a
deficit in the bank. During most Of the
time when these figures were on the
books Struble's funds at the bank were
very low-seldom over $50, and some
times nothing.
Prosecuting Attorn-y Mcnamara tes-
tilted that all Cf Struble's private pa
pers We're missing. The preporderance
Of evidence decidedly favored the suicide
theory. although the attorneys for the
dead mans relatives still promise some
conclusive evidence in support of mur-
der. The general opinion Eow seems 10
that the jury win disagree.
