| Brother H. r, McKelvy, Denver
theatrical manager, has learned the
details cf the killing This morning
he received from the American con
sui at Hongkong a full account oil
the crime. Almost positive evidence
| has been secured that H. Adsetts, the
American soldier OF fortune, was the
slayer.
Gertrude Dayton was murdered Ia

the night of August 3, just after she
had arrived on her way home from
Manila. The murderer not only stab.

were closed William Turnbull. the
fourth vice president, said to several
newspaper men:
"All the disturbance in the money
market has been caused by one man.
who in the past six months, in public
and private speeches. has been gradu-
ally undermining the credit system
of the country. Last night the Knick-
erbocker Trust company had assets
way in excess of its liabilities. and in
one night the confidence of its pa
irons and its credit were destroyed
This was brought about by one man,
and that a man who knows nothing of
the credit system"
One of the reporters asked Mr..
Turnbull whether he was referring
to President Roosevelt.
You know perfectly well who
mean" replied Mr.. Turnbull. There
is no need for me to specify"
