had laid down his life to save Malcolm.
He gave a worthy life to save an unworthy
life" Paul Ford denied that he had en-
tered into an agreement TO share the estate
with Malcolm. and said that the sentiment
to share the estate. provided Malcolm gave
up athletics, originated with his mother,
who has since died.
Police Captain Brown said tonight that
Malcolm w. Ford had for some time been
causing much uneasiness to the family
through evidences of an unbalanced mind,
and declares that in his opinion he at
tackled his brother during a period of tenn
porary insanity, then taking his own life:
THE cause of Malcolm Ford's actions, -
said Captain Brown, "can be explained
by inference. For some time his fnan-
cial affairs have been pressing him and he
has repeatedly asked and received material
assistance from his brother. 1t is presumed
that this importuning had been such and
his demand so excessive that his brother

Ford leaves a son of about seven years.
1t was said tonight at the apartment
house in which Malcolm lived that he had
talked frequently of late of being in fnan-
cial difficulties and that things were go
ing wrong down town." There 1t was known
that he was the editor or the New Centaur,
a monthly devoted TO the interests of the
automobile and published by the New Cen
taur Publishing Company. II could not be
learned whether or not Malcolm had any
financial interest in the publication. On
Tuesday the company failed and a receiver
was appointed. The failure OF the company
would explain to an extent Malcolm Ford's
pressing need of funds and would tend to
corroborate the presumption of Miss Hall
when she said she presumed the converse
ton between the two brothers just before
the shooting was concerning money mat
ters and that Malcolm had again asked for
financial aid

Who Might Have Retaliated

By far the most humiliating incident
connected with the downfall OF +, {.
Andrews, vice president of the City
savings bank of Detroit, was the man
ner of his arrest, says Chicago paper.
One of the many offices held by An
drews was that of police commissioner.
He was stern disciplinarian, and had
little pity for members Of the force
who violated the rules. just before
exposure of his $1,500,0O0 embezzle-
ment was made Andrews had occasion
10 rebuke one of the city detectives
for some alleged neglect of duty and
he berated the officer roundly, giving
him what is known in police circles as
a severe "dressing down" BY chance
it became the duty Of this same detect
i've a few days later to take the bank
wrecker into custody. Policemen who
knew Of the terrible scoring the Off
Ger had received from Andrews looked
for bitter retaliation in the way Of
wordy recrimination, but nothing Of
the kind occurred. The officer was po-
lite and deferential in making the ar
rest, almost as much so as If he were
taking orders from his superior In.
stead Of conveying him to jail I'm
really sorry TO do this, Mr.. Andrews
he said, "but It's my duty" There was
a sting in these simple words, how
ever. that the bystanders did not APP
preciate, for in the scoring the detect
we had received from Andrews while
police commissioner great stress was
laid upon the necessity Of policeman
doing his duty without fear or favor
