Some Question as to
Whether or Not Soci-
ety Man Met Death
by His Own Hand.
BROTHER INVESTIGATES.
PTS Conference with Lawyer
and Physicians Arouses
Suspicious as to Their Be-
lief.

WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. Aug. o.
Out OF the careful autopsy performed
here by three leading physicians OF
this city and the long conference
following it, between Edward p.
Remington, his attorney, Seth T.
Mccormick, and the three physicians.
have grown rumors that Mr.. Reming-
ton has reason to suspect that his
brother, Robert r. Remington, did
not meet death by his wi hand at
Newport and that a pathological ex-
animation of the brain will be made
to establish that Robert Remington
was not mentally unbalanced as has
been claimed.
In ppo Of the murder theory, 1t Is
limited tina the bullet extracted from
Mr.. R~emington's brain is of a calibre
which could not have been discharged
from the revolver found beside him. 1t
is further asserted that any one of the
three wounds found in Remington's head
was sufficient to have caused immediate
unconsciousness, and, therefore, ii would
have been impossible for the alleged
suicide to have fired the three shots.
When Seth I. Mccormick, Mr.. T.. p.
Remington's counsel, was asked regard
ing the late Developments in the case
"Does the bullet taken from Mr..
Remington's head fit the chamber Of
the revolver
81 refuse to answer that" said Mr..
Mccormick decidedly. but quickly added:
II do not want YOU TO construe my
refusal to answer any question into the
belief that I believe that Mr.. Reming-
ton was murdered. 1t is a dangerous
thing to even discuss such a thing. A
man must be very careful when he
does So"
After some Elaboration Mr.. McCor-
nick continued
LAS far as the stories published, to
the effect that Mr.. Edward P. Reming-
ton contemplated proceeding legally
against James j. Van Allen for libel or
anything else, I know nothing about the
matter. and I don't think 1t is so. i
don't think there is the slightest ground
for such a procedure"

wealthy New York family, who had

reasons vas compelled to conceal the
fact of the child's existence.
He seemed concerned about the baby's
welfare and promised her s2 a month
to care for 1t. This he paid regularly
for two years. Then the payments be-
came irregular, and finally ceased. Mrs

learned that the man who left the child
with her had recently married again

CREDIT STORY.

NEWPORT, r. l.. Aug. 22.-The report
that Edward P. Remington believes that
his brother. Robert r. Remington. was
murdered in this city. has been received
with ~incredulity here. Chief OF Police
Richards said that it was absolutely
impossible that Mr.. Remington could
have been murdered.
He said he thoroughly investigated
the AFFAIR, with a view to finding
whether there was any possibility OF
that there could be no doubt that
the man came to his death by his own
hand
Medical Examiner Ecroyd, who viewed

unnecessary. says that there was
nothing to indicate that the mans
death was other than that OF suicide.

Lincoln County's Fruit Grower.

The following interview with /.
B. Perrine Lincoln County's big
fruit grower, appears in the States
man OF Monday.
|. B. Perrine OF Blue Lakes, ar
rived in Boise Saturday night ON
his way home from Salt Lake. Hs
said his fruit crop this year was
immense. Besides apples, pears,
plums, etc, h would have 40OJ
boxes OF peaches, and was now
shipping daily to Boise and other
points. George Hall would have
10000 boxes and was busy with a
big force making shipments. Tho
fluit crop in this state other than
peaches gave promise Ct being the
largest ever raised. 3lr. Perrine
said he shipped Bing cherries to
New York, which brought fancy
price, ana ne found that variety
brought a better price in every
market where it sold rather than
any other cherry.
The worst news Mr.. Perrine
heard for fruit growers in this state
was the fact that pear blight had
made its appearance in Idaho.
Several cases bad been reported
recently by the state horicultural
Mr.. Perrine's prune crop was 50
large he conld not think of shipping
it from the tree. He was arranging
to put in dryer and would fur
nish electrical heat. This would
be cheaper than any other, as be
secured power from the Blue lake
'alls near by.
