AN ACCIDENT
Caused Death Of Million
aire Rufus Wright.
Mrs. Anna Louise Lottridge Was Re.
leased From Custody.

The death of Rufus Wright was the
result of an accident. A verdict to
that effect was reached by a jury We'd
nesday at the Coroner's inquest in
Chicago.
Immediately after the jury had re-
turned its verdict, Mrs. Anna Louise
Lottridge was freed from custody and
exonerated from all blame for the
death Of Mr.. Wright.
On the advice of her attorney, Mrs.
Lottridge refused to testify at the in
quest on the ground that she might in
criminate herself, but the testimony of
all other witnesses who spoke with
Mr.. Wright before he died in the room
in the Leland hotel, where he was
shot April IA, testified that Mr.. Wright
before he died in the room in the Le-
land botel, where he was shot April IA,
testified that Mr.. Wright had repeated
ly stated that ii was an accident and
was clear in mind when he said so.
There is nothing in the testimony to
indicate that the shooting was other
than accidental and the jury decided
that Mr.. Wright came to his death
from bullet accidentally fired from a
revolver held in his own hand
