BROKER CAUGHT SHORT.
Kills Himself and His Firm Makes an
Assignment.

New York, April 29.-Following
the suicide last night of Charles Cos
ter a prominent broker and society
man, the stocN exchange firm OF Cos
ter, Knapp & Co., of which MI. COS
ter was q member, announced its sus-
pension today on the floor of the
New York stock exchange. The firm
was a prominent one and had done
an extensive business. In an an
nouncement given out at the time OF
the suspension it was said that the
action was directly due to the death
of Mr.. Coster. A formal statement
issued by a member of the firm said:
lowing to the death of Mr.. Coster
and the consequent condition of the
firms affairs, it has been deemed
advisable to make a general assign
ment for the benefit of all creditors.
This step was taken at the suggestion
of most of the creditors and Mr.. Wer-
ner of the law firm of Simpson, Wer-
ner and Cardoza. The assignee has
already started in to straighten out
affairs so as to be in a position to
make a correct statemet to all parties
interested as early as possible
No intimation of the firms assets
or liabilities was given and it was not
thought that anything like definite
figures could be given pending N :
completion of the aSsignee's investiga-
ton. Mr.. Coster, who was rated as a
millionaire, had prepared for his vol
untary death with a GOODNESS and
thoroughness which proved beyond
any doubt that the act was pre-
mediated. He selected a time when
Mrs. Coster was at a reception and
after preparing himself for bed, tele-
phoned to his family physician that
Mrs. Coster had a severe cold and
asked the doctor to come to the house
at once. Soon after the doctor ar
rived, Coster retired to his room and
sent bullet through his head.
The shot rang through the house
just as Mrs. Coster entered, return
ing from the reception and she
| rushed to her husbands room. AT
| the door of the room she met the
| family physician who found her hus-
| band dead with the smoking revolver
| in his hand. The relatives of Coster
last night were at a loss to account
| for his act. Today, however, ]. M
| Knapp of the failed firm, issued a for
NAL statement in which he declared
| that Mr.. Coster had been speculative
heavily and that it was this specula-
| ton which brought about the sus-
| pension of the firm.
| Mr.. Knapp said that the 1osse:
would fall almost entirely upon Cos
ter and his brother. and to a small
extent upon himself. On the floor o.
the stock exchange it was said tina
