Associated Press Dispatcn by Special Vice.
Reading, Pa, March 2l.-Elmer Prutz'
man. aged p years, after spending part
of last evening with Miss Mabel Treat,
aged II years, left her home at midnight
A minute later a pistol shot was heard
and Prutzman was found dead on the
pavement, with a bullet in his brain.
In many quarters there are suspicious
that Prutzman did not kill himself, and
the authorities are investigating on this
theory. As late as yesterday he wrote
to his parents, in Hamburg, that he had
been threatened by a certain party who,
he believed, was carrying a pistol and
that he was afraid to venture out late at
night. Miss Treat says PrutEman wanted
to marry her, but she refused, because Of
her age. There is a division OF opinion as
to whether IL was suicide OF murder.

his right to be appointed admins.

James Byle, the clerk appointed the
latter in vacation. Later he as
signed his interest in the estate to
his son, John, and the latter as such
brought the suit. But before this
was done the elder Jackson, it was

give two-thirds of the estate to Mrs.
Bumgardner, and gave her an rider
on Boyle to pay it. When the son
learned this he induced the elder
jackson to make an assignment to.
him and the suit followed. The
court was occupied with the case FIVE
