London, Jan. 26. Whitaker Wright,
the promoter whose case has created
world wide notice and who was extra
dited to this country from America
only after hard legal battle about a
year ago, today died very suddenly,
supposedly by his own hand, after
having been sentenced to serve seven
years for fraud by the court in this
city.
The story of Wright's alleged
crooked business deals is a long one
and is more or less familiar to all. He
escaped to America to avoid having to
explain them but was captured in New
York and after a stern fight in which
the best legal talent of two continents
was employed. he was brought to Eng
land for trial.
Judge Passes Sentence.
His trial has been on before a Lon
don Judge for several days and yester-
day it was finished. This morning the
court found Wright guilty of fraud as
charged in the bill and sentenced him
to seven years penal servitude.
Ottumwa tri-weekly courier. [volume] (Ottumwa, Iowa) 1903-1916, 1904-01-28

Almost Immediately after sentence
was pronounced the prisoner became
violently i'll, and was removed from
the court room to the hospital. Phys
icians were hastily summoned, but
Wright died before anything could be
done to relieve him.
Suicide Theory Believed.
Although the physicians announced
that Wright's death was caused by
heart trouble, it is believed that he
suicided. His friends said all along
during the trial that while he was
hopeful Of acquittal, he would never
survive conviction, and that he would
commit suicide If found guilty. This
is thought to be what he did.
Lived in America.
Wright was for several years res
ident Of the United States, though
not citizen. He was a promoter, and
his deals in this capacity finally caus-
ed his arrest. He was in league with
members of the English nobility, and
his attorneys claimed all the time that
he was simply made scapegoat for
these more influential schemers.

The tragedy was the result of an
explosion Of fire damp at the bottom of
one of the shafts. The work of rescu-
ing the bodies Of the dead miners was
not even attempted until late this af-
ternoon, as the foul air would permit
OF no entrance.
Rescue Was impossible.
Rescue party after rescue party
tried to get to the lower levels of the
mine, but were driven back by the
knowledge of certain death if they
persisted.
Engineer Dies From Gases.
The first man to reach the bottom
of the main shaft after the explosion
was Selwyn M. Taylor, Pittsburg
mining engineer, who plotted the mine.
He, too, is dead, the victim Of the
deadly gases.
