SOUGHT REST IN DEATH
Continued from First Page.)

had it not been for the fact that it had
been written in German.
1t would have appeared somewhat
more decent had he delivered them to
the persons for whom they were intend
ed There was no doubt whatever
about the fact that Matt Witt took his
own life and there was nothing to be
gained by reading these letters. There
should be a place over which his official
inquiry should not step when there is
nothing to be gained by the investiga-
ton.
The letter to Miss Bergman was
given to the jury but it was not made
public.
The letter to the young lady was fill
ed with protestations of affection but
it did not hint that he had been Tilted
by her. The story about being Tilted
really has little foundation. When Mr..
Witt was employed by E. T. Sim he
told Mr. Sim that he and Miss Berg
man were not to be married. It is be-
lieved by his most intimate friends that
he worried about the attachment for
the young lady but it is not considered
the main cause for his suicide.
With his mind full Of suicide as
it has been for the past two years, it is
not surprising that when he found bus
mess not equal to his expectation in
his new venture that he brOOded over
his affairs in both business and love
and determined upon death as the best
means of escaping from both.
Miss Dora Bergman is not in Topeka
She went to Kansas city with ner
father at four o'clock Friday afternoon
Beforeashe left she called at the store
and had a conference with Mr.. Witt.
There was a rumor that she was en-
gagged to marry Philip FOntaine who
came to Topeka a few months ago, but
Mr. Fontaine positively denies that he
was engaged to Miss Bergman or was
even well acquainted with her.
John c. Witt, brother of the unfor-
tunate man, arrived from Atchison
last night He took charge of all the
business matters connected with his
brother. When the body was found
there was $40 in bills and a two and a
half dollar gold piece in a vest pocket.
There was also money in the money
drawers in the store.
1t is more than probable that the sui
eide of Frank Morrow only week ago
suggested the step taken by Matt Witt.
He followed almost exactly the same
plan followed by Mr.. Morrow. He used
morphine. He arranged death bed
for himself. He locked up the store
and died.
A coroners inquest was held at the
Stoker undertaking rooms this Tore
noon but no new facts were developed
The jury found what everyone already
knew that NJ. H. Witt came TO MS
death by morphine poisoning, the drug
having been administered by himself
with suicidal intent

About Lanterns.

To those who are preparing lanterns
for the display on Thursday evening OF
Festival week:
owing to the expense which the orig

by wagons would entail upon the Com
Tnittee of Fifteen it has been deemed ad-
visable to abandon the proposed method
of collection and the lanterns must be
delivered at Garfield park by the own
ers They should be at the park by 3
o'clock to give the committee time TO
arrange them.
