rested in Milwaukee on a charge Of
trying to extort 100000 from Mrs.
Richard T. Robinson of this city, were

it is said, that he was an accomplice
and both are expected to plead guilty
They have not engaged any attorneys
and it is believed that when brought
into court for preliminary examina-

The penalty for the crime for which

Will Investigate Alleged Suicide Of
"Al" Adams.
New York, Oct. 3.-Coroner Harbur
ger is not entirely satisfied that the
death of CAP Adams, the former so
called policy king, was the result OF
suicide. The coroner said:
1.-The police and all the witnesses to
the death of AL Adams believe and are
convinced that he committed suicide,
but from the position found his body
lying over chair and the head rest
ing near cuspidor, leads me in some
ways to believe that there might have
been foul play.
81 am now in doubt as to what mo-
tive there was for man Of such
wealth to take his life. The force OF
the shot penetrated and went through
the forehead and the ball hit the door,
embedding itself in the wall This
shows how powerful the shot was that
ended his life.
"All the indications are that he did
commit suicide, but l am not thor.
oughly satisfied and I will examine
every witness and try and find out
what motive there was for self-de
structiOn."
