JOHN MoRToN.s ESTATE.
Police Asked to Make an Investiga-
ton

John Morton died at Garfield Hospital Sun
day Of old age, and his body was buried in
Oak Hill yesterday Today the police were
asked to make an investigation in the case,
as Mr.. Morton, it Is stated, had a large
amount Of money in his house a short time
before he was removed to the hospital. He
inherited sum of money some time ago,
and friends believe he had nearly $1,000 in
his house when he went to the hospital.
For number Of years Mr.. Morton was
sexton Of Luther Memorial Church and
lived at 1916 Sth street northwest, with his
daughter. Miss Sarah A. Morton When
the elderly man received his inheritance he
was advised by his pastor, the Rev. j. G..
Butler, to put the money in bank. Other
church friends gave him similar advice, but
he did not adopt their suggestions He
preferred to Keep the money at home, fear
ing he might lose it if he put it in bank.
His daughter, who is fortysix years old,
had been Of unsound mind for long time
prior to twenty days ago, when she was
removed to the insane asylum by SAM
tary Officer Frank. Justice Barnard after
ward heard the case and made permanent
order for her treatment at the asylum.
During recent months the police were told
the Morton house has been open most of
the time, and many strangers white and
colored, visited the man and his daughter.
Morton was very feeble and his friends
think was wholly incapable of looking after
his effects or himself. The daughter was in
more serious condition. Her mind was
so much affected that she was unable to
care for herself except to eatsfood enough
to keep her alive. Such was the condition
of affairs about the house until friends had
the daughter sent to the asylum. After
ward the elderly man received better treat
ment at the hands of friends Today,
when the case was reported to the police,
Capt. Boardman made inquiries about the
family, and detailed Detective Tyser to
make an investigation. The effects Of the
dead man will be taken by the police and
a thorough search will be made of them
for money. Should any money be found
it may be used to pay for the treatment of
Miss Morton at the asylum.
