the property had been torn from the
abstract.
Two years ago one of Conway's vic
TINS paid him 81 GOO on a 500 mort
gage and the broker failed to remit
the payment He was caught in this
less than a month ago and again his
friends let him have the amount OF the
deficiency to prevent arrest The mort
gage company he represented turned
over their agency then to the Sherman
Wilson company.
Forged DonnelIan's Name.
Another supposed forgery developed
against Conway yesterday being IN
surety bond purported to have been
furnished by J. w. Donnellan Tor the
Fidelity & Casualty company, which
CONWAY represented. The bond was
for 81 900. but the purported signature
of Mr. DonnelIan bears only slight
resemblance to his real signature. This
bond is acknowledged by &. r. Simp-
son, notary public" and is dated long
since Simpson left the state. The FL
deity company discovered a crooked
ness in one of Conway's transactions
a short time age and sent Henry Cross
ley, a special agent, here to investi-
gate. Believing doubtless that the bond
would be called for, Conway again
rustled the amount of his shortage, $3.50
and turned 1t over.
Went to Mexico.
The belief is fast gaining ground that
Conway went towards Mexico, instead
of Canada. as has been supposed 1t
developed yesterday that the day be-
fore he Left. he engaged in an extended
conversation with his clerk, J. H Mer-
rfIl. concerning the land of the latters
father in that country and the lnqul-
ries he made were such as to excite
wonder among those who heard of It.
Mr.. MerrilTS father owns a tract of
valuable land in some part of Mexico,
but does not live there, in fact. has sell
dom, if ever, visited the property. Con-
way, upon hearing of this, set about
securing description of the land and
its location and was successful He Of
fered no excuse for being so persistent
with his queries the evening before he
left Salt Lake, and there are those who
believe his intention was after reach
ing Mexico to represent himself as
Merrill, the owner of the property, and
sell it.
Some more facts have come to light
with reference to the brokers' depar-
ture. 1t is said now that his heaviest
creditor, or victim, Seward H Field,
gave him so many hours to raise be
tween $4,000 and $4,000 with which to
pay up. Being unable to do so, his
only course was TO leave the country
to escape imprisonment,

SENATOR DAVIS BETTER.
Physicians Still Refuse to Hold Out
Hope.

St. Paul, Mimi, Nov. 1.-THE condition
OF Senator &. X. Davis was today some
what improved. When the new compli-
cations, the deliTium and the inflammation
OF the kidneys, developed early in the
week, it was professionally stated that
unless q pronounced change for the bet
ter took place before the end of the week
the worst might be feared.
So firmly convinced were those most
interested that the senator's life was
hanging in the balance that, during lucid
intervals, matters of importance reiat-
ing to his affairs We're arranged
1t is now earnestly hoped marked i'm
prONement has taken place and that Sen
ator Davis still has a chance to recover.
His physicians, however, will hold out
no strong hopes to the family. They will
say absolutely nothing as to the posi-
biliCy of the senator's recovering
one OF the most favorable symptoms
noted in his condition today is the drop
IN respiration from 81 TO a. The in
creased respiration last night was taken
to indicate decreasing vitality.
1t was given out today, unofficially.
that tomorrow the turning point in the
senator's condition win decide his chances

Interest in the Success of the
Democratic Party"

To the Editor: When l announced
my candidacy for a seat in the United
States Senate | thought it likely that
majority of the Democratic voters
might desire me to be their candidate
to representthe people of North Caro-
lima in that great body. | have since
learned that many friends throughout
the State who might, under other cir
cumstances, have supported me, have
committed themselves to other gentle
men. 1t is now apparent to me that
large number of the Democratic voters
are looking elsewhere for their cantii-
date. / have no disposition to question
the wisdom of their course or to con-
tend against it.
Under existing conditions it would
not be reasonable in me to ask further
support from friends to whom / am al
ready so largely indebted for their
past services. / therefore beg to use
your columns to announce to the pub
lie that | am no longer a candidate.
This leaves me absolutely free to work
for party success in November.
In thus eliminating my personal in
tcrest | wish it distinctly understood
that / do not abate one iot or little
of my deep interest in the success of
the Democratic party. The Democracy
of North Carolina ought to give Bryan
and Stevenson a rousing majority and
elect a solid Democratic delegation to
the House of Representatives 1t can
be done if every Democrat will do his
duty. | shall go forward to do mine,
and | appeal to every Democrat to be
ut his post of duty until the closing
of the polls. The election of a, Demo
cratic Senator is already assured. Now
let us send nine Democrats to the
House to cooperate with him.
