Preston manager and secretary of the
Thinker Roller company, had forged the
name Of E. r. Hewitt, one Of the members
OF the company, to notes aggregating $4,000
to 100000 was the substance OF a statement
made to the coroner today by James A.
Shea, counsel for Mrs. Preston.
Preston died very suddenly in the Hotel
Cumberland last Thursday after drinking
prussic acid, while three members of the
company were waiting to question him
about the affairs OF the company. II was
also discovered that Preston left a note
saying he had been insane for some time.
The statement by Mr.. Shea was made at
a coroner's inquest into the cause of Pres
toms death. Mr.. Shea testified that Z. r.
Hewitt, son of the late Mayor Hewitt
had informed him that Preston's books
showed the forgeries, but the investigation
was not yet complete, One of the alleged
forged notes was for $500 and was due on
the day of his death. Another was for
$4,000 and was due April 1. In q card

Preston also directed that in the event Of
his death the full amount OF life insurance
policy be paid to his wife
Mrs. Anna G. Preston, Prestons widow,
testified before the coroner that Preston
was betting on the horse races throughout
his recent visit to New Orleans She said
she had supposed he was wealthy until two
days before his death, when he asked her
to loan him 500. She declared that she is
destitute.
The hearing adjourned to await the report
Of physician as to the contents Of Pres
toms stomach The coroner was OF the
opinion that the man committed suicide and
that there was no occasion to continue his
inquiry on the theory that a murder had
been committed.

WILL j. DAVIS RELEASED
Five Ordinance Under which Pro-
prietOr of IroauOis Thenter Was
indicted Declared Void.


DANvILLE, III. March s.-Judge Kim.
brough today decided that the Chicago
ordinance on which was based the trial
Of VIII J. Davis. charged with man
slaughter on account of the burning of the
Iroquois theater at Chicago, OF which Davis
was manager at the time, is invalid, insofar
as the prosecution of the case is concerned.
The decision puts an end to the trial. The
court rendered his decision following afgu
ment OF counsel which has consumed two
days.
Following his decision the court called
In the Jury, which had not been allowed to
hear the arguments, and directed the jurors
TO return a verdict of not guilty. This
was done and the court directed the sheriff
to release the defendant. This terminated
any criminal action against Mr. Davis on
account Of the Iroquois FIRE. Mr. Davis
ana party of attorneys, friends and agents
returned to Chicago at once.
CHICAGO, March 9.-The Iroquois theater
was burned on the afternoon Of December
30, 1903, during a matinee performance OF
Mr.. Bluebeard." The theater at the time
was filled mostly with women and children.
Although the play house was not COM
pletely destroyed the fire spread so rapidly
owing to the infiammabls character OF the
stage settings that 696 persons lost their
lives, either from suffocation or being
trampled to death In the panic.
Early I'm 1904 Will J. Davis, manager OF
the theater was indicted on a charge OF
granddaughter, it being claimed that the
MANAGEMENT Of the thester was responsible
for the large loss of life because OF the
poor facilities to prevent a catastrophe in
case OF fire. After securing continuanees
