SEATTLE Aug. 31.-That Lem Short
who died at Chehalis Saturday night,
committed suicide through fear that he
would have to serve the five-year SEN
tence imposed upon him by Superior
Judge F'rater, following a conviction on
charge of grand larceny, is the belief
of Steve Cramer, who was with him at
the time, Cramer told Deputy Sheriff
Joe Hill, who went to Chehalis after
word of Shorts death had been receiy-
ed in Seattle, that Short had repeatedly
expressed the fear that the supreme
court would sustain Judge Frater in
refusing to grant a new trial.
Short was a drug fiend and on the
night of his death borrowed a hypoder-
mic needle from Cramer, after having
broken his own. He told Cramer that
he was not feeling well and was going
to lie down, asking the latter to awaken
him. When Cramer went to the room
he found Short in what proved to be
MS death struggle. Doctors were sum-
moned, but nothing could be done. and
Short died a short time after.
