formed of the death at Buffalo of Mrs.

M. Lamb started for Buffalo tonight.
Mr.. Lamb iSNan aged man, and when
the tidings Of the terrible death of his
Son-in-laW and the probable fatal in
jury of his daughter by the automobile
accident at Buffalo yesterday were
broken to him today he almost COL
lapsed. He was told the full particulars
and the ruomr that the automobile was
designedly steered into the stone
quarry.
Il do not believe the suicide theory"
| said Mr.. Lamb. Il believe that Ar
thur would have vindicated himself of
any connection with the Burdick mur-
| der when the time came. Ny daughter
has stood by him in this case, and
had he been guilty she would not have
done so. The legacy my daughter re-
cefved was not 100000, as has been
stated, but about $143,O00."
Later in the day Mr.. Lamb decided
to go to Buffalo and attend his daugh-
ter.
