Many theories as to the cause Of the

into the lads bedroom, shot him While
he slept, and ended his own life beside
the bed, are advanced to-day.

roughly to the Dane. throwing him into
n passion OF despair, because he felt
that he was losing his place In the fam-

Bjorlin had been drinking heavily and

different impression of one phase of
the hearing from that which was cons
veyed in the magistrates court De-
putty Attorney General Hastings in the
reports was made to say at the OPEN
ing that the State had no case against
Mr. Mundy. What the deputy attor-

of a lack of time he had not gone into
the case as thoroughly as he would
like, and he was not sure whether the
State had sufficient evidence TO con-
lvict. Therefore he said he desired the
ease presented and the eviderce heard.
During the hearing the evidence was
brought out and Magistrate Hastings
deemed it sufficient to hold Mr.. Mundy
