KILLED BY FALL
DOWN A|RSHAFT 7
Strange Death of Wit
ness Against Alleged
Cracksman.
Grim Forebodings Come
True Before He Can
Testify.

CHICAGO. June 19.-william F.
Reynolds of Lexington, Tex, fell down
an airshaft from the sixth floor of the
Grace Hotel early today and was killed
Reynolds came to Chicago last night
with Sheriff Scarborough and several
other persons from Lexington as a wit
ness against Patrick Levin. alias "Cy-
clone Pat" under arrest here charged
with being an accomplice of Charles
Coleman. safeblower. who was killed
near Giddings, Tex, in a fight with
Scarborough.
Reynolds appeared extremely nervous
last night He said he did not wish to
sleep alone, and begged to be allowed
to sleep In the room occupied by Thorn
as Largent a member of the party
While Largent was asleep Reynolds left
the bed and, going to a window opening
into the airshAft, either jumped or fell
into the shaft.
A coincidence with Reynolds death is
the fact that Sheriff Scarborough had
feared injury to his witnesses and had
asked for police protection. Yesterday
he telegraphed to Chicago asking that
the train be met by a detail of police.
He said he had reason to fear an at
tempt might be made on the lives of
some of his witnesses. An alleged plot
was discovered as the train on which
the party was coming TO Chicago was
leaving Kansas City. A former friend
of Coleman got on the train, and at ST.
Louis two other men boarded the train
and met the Kansas City man.

with two men during trip on which
he sent her to Jacksonville, Fla, George
E. Lovett. a millionaire real estate
dealer, today began a suit for absolute
divorce before Justice Maddox and a

Office of the Western Electric Company,
and L. Harry Drewitt, who is said to
be in business in New York. From
Grant who lived in the same boardin g
house with Mrs. Lovett in Jacksonville,
Lovett has obtained an affidavit in
which Grant has admitted improper re-
lations with her. Drewitt, according
to the vague hints of the plaintiffs s
lawyers, will appear and testify to in
timacy with her while on the steam
ship from Jacksonville to New York.

TRYING To BUY
ROAD IN SOUTH
John D. Spreckels Wants
to Own National
City Line.
Will Use Electric Power
Instead of Steam if
Deal Is Made.
SPECIAL DIspArCH TO THE CALL.

SAN DIEGO, June 19-John d.
Spreckels. the San Francisco capitalist,
this afternoon confirmed the report that
has been in circulation for several days
that he is negotiating for the purchase
of the National City and Otay Railroad
Company's property. Spreckels stated
that as yet the negotiations have not
progressed far and that it cannot be
told at this time whether the attempt
will be successful.
The National City and Otay Railroad
runs from San Diego to Tia Juana,
passing through National City, Chula
Vista and several other places. There
is also a branch line running from
Sweetwater Junction to the Sweetwater
reservoir. Altogether the company
owns twenty-seven miles of standard
gauge track. AT the present time B.
P. Cheney, the prominent Boston capi-
talist, is president of the company and
the principal stockholder.
If Spreckels purchases the railroad
IL is probable that the motive power
viii be changed from steam to cleo
tricity and that cars will be run over
the principal business streets of the
city and direct to Tia Juana, on the
Mexico line.
