Mount Vernon, n. Y, Aug. 6.-Standing
in front OF a mirror in an anteroom ad-
Joining the Gus Monroe Memorial Library,
in the Larchmont Yacht Club. so as to
make sure that his aim would be true.
William S. Alley, formerly commodore Of
the club, one of the charter members Of
the gilt-laced fire department of Larch-
mont, and a New York broker, sent
bullet crashing through his brain. yet he
lived nearly half an hour afterward and
died in an ambulance while being taken
to the New Rochelle Hospital
Although his relatives say that he killed
himself through dependency brought on
by the loss of all his money, yet II was
said that Mr.. Alley ended his life that his
wife might collect the life insurance that
went with his seat on the stock exchange.
Fortune swept Away.
The value of this insurance is Sl000.
and this is all that Mr.. Alley left in the
world, his large fortune having been
swept away when his brokerage firm
failed about a year ago. Ii is said thar
there was some condition IN the insurance
guarantee that accompanied the stock ex-
change seat which would have made it
void if Mr. Alley had not ended his life.
Mr.. Alley had an international reputa-
ton as trader on the stock exchange
and as an expert yachtsman For long
time he was a member of the stock brok-
erage firm of Alley, Conger & Co, of a
Exchange place. From the time he
failed year ago. when he left liabili-
tics aggregating Sl9l, 351, and no assets,
change in his mental makeup was no
uced. He became morose. and was con-
tinually worrying.
Bids Friends Good Night.
Last night he walked over 10 the club
from his home. and after bidding several
friends goodnight, walked up the flight
OF the stairs leading to the club library.
In the ante-room he stood for a minute or
two in front Of mirror, and placing a
.SS-caliber revolver to his right temple
pulled the trigger He dropped 20 the
floor and the crash of his falling body
and the pistol shot aroused the club men,
bers who rushed upstairs.
Manager Young found Mr. Alley with
a revolver clutched in his hand. He
was stiHl breathing. and a hurry caH was
sent for an ambulance Or. stump was
sent for. and he did what he could for the
dying man, who never regained conscious
ness.

that since the school closed. on July 1. a
number Of expert accountants have been
examining the books kept by Savers, and
have found such discrepancies that, after
a conference with Bishop Burgess. it was
decided to have Savers arrested.
Mr.. Sweet said that the examination OF
the books extended over the past year,
and admitted that there has never been
an examination previous TO the present
one, although Sayers has been with the
school for so many years. He would not
say what led TO the suspicion that every
thing was not correct.
Friends Hint Persecution.
Friends Of Savers in Garden City last
night said they believed that the COM
plant against him has something to do
with the troubles that have been be-
setting St Paul's school for several
months, which finally led to the resigna-
ton of Head Master Gammage and all
the faculty, as well as the withdrawal of
many Of the students.
