POLICE SAY SUICIDE
Mystery to C. S. Spier's Death at
New Brighton, S. !.

NEW YORK, May 3.-Police officials
who have been investigating the mys-
terious death of Charles l.. Spier, con
idential agent of II. H. Rogers, who
was found dead in his home in Staten
Island, reported that the evidence in
dicated that Spier had committed sui
eide. Mrs. Spier had informed the po-
lice that Spier left his bedchamber to
go to the dining room in search OF a
burglar and that she afterward heard
shots. Except that the furnishings OF
the dining room in which the body was
found We're disarranged, the police say
that there was nothing about the house
to indicate the presence of a burglar.
81 am confident that my husband was
murdered by a burglar" said Mrs.
Charles l.. Spier.
81 can find no evidence that there
was a burglar in the house," said Po-
lice Captain Hogan.
''There was not the least reason why
Spier should commit suicide, and by
close investigation | am convinced that
he was shot by an intruder said
Franklin Prentiss, Spier's %brother-in-
law.
One door was found unlocked, but
without signs of having been forced,
and an active bulldog which accompa-
MED Mr.. Spier to the dining room took
no part in the reported duel with a
burglar, if there was one
On the other hand, the police have
ascertained that Il month before his
death Mr.. Spier had insured his life for
$4,000 and had had to discount a note
for $1,357 to pay the premium on one
of the policies when it became payable
last Saturday. The policies were pay
able regardless of the cause of death.
and the beneficiary had been changed
from Mrs. Spier to a trustee of his es-
tate.
The police have discovered also that
a judgment in bankruptcy for So0,SIO
had been outstanding against Mr..
Spier and others since February last.
These judgments were entered after
the Yetman Transmitting Typewriter
company, of which Mr.. Spicr was pre-
ident, went into bankruptcy.

entire lower border of the wall, or Is
it too narrow or fitted so full on the
inside that 1t has given rise to inter
fering, or has the shoe been nailed on
crooked or has 1t become loose and
shifted Is it too short or so wide at
the ends of the branches as not to sup
port the buttresses of the hoof? Does
the shoe correspond with the form of
the hoof2 Are the nails distributed so
as to interfere as little as possible with

there too many2 Are they too large2
These are points the horse owner
should ascertain in order that any
faults observed may be corrected.
