 The funeral occurs Saturday ana the inquest was held off to giVe the widow an opportunity to testify 1i is now known that Rustin kenched his home about midnight Tuesday night and that the shooting occurred at 2 o'clock Wednesday morning. What occurred at the Rustfn homo during the three hours interval be- tween his reaching there and tho shooting has not developed and no person is permitted to Interview Mrs. kustin.
 Miss Loona Burnley was seen with Rustin late Tuesday night and is said to have walked to within two blocks of his home with him. Rustin wn@ recognized by at least two persons within two blocks of his residence. apparently headed for home at mid~ night.
 The city detectives have been un- able to locate the revolver with which the shooting was done and the sui- eide theory Is therefore secuted.

sACKvILLE WEST DEAD.
English Diplomat Whose Recall Was
 Requested by Cleveland.

Gngfish Dfpt0mnt Whose Recall Was Requested by Cleveland. London. Sept. 3.--Lionel Saclxvilie Saekville West. Second Baron Sack vile. died at Knole Park. Seven Oaks. today. He had been i'll for some time and since August IS, he had been con- fined to his bed.
 He was born in 1927 and served his country in the diplomatic service. He was British minister to the United States from 1881 to 1888.
 At the request of President cleve- land he was recalled in october.
 Lord sackvilis's dismissal by Mir. Cleveland practically ended his diplo- matic career. for since 1888 he was never entrusted with any important diplomatic mission.
 He lived quietly the life of q coun- try gentleman and seldom appeared in London society. He always re- tained a grudge against America and Americans and 1t was his custom to avoid any meetings with travellers from the other side.
 created a sensation by publishing a pamphlet for private circulation among his friends in which he vindicated his diplomatic work Tn the United States The newspapers obtained q copy of this publication
 In 1t Lord sackvilie explained with much picturesque detail that the trap into which he fell at Washington was a Fenian conspiracy; that the Fenian organization harrassed him during his residence in America, kept spies after him and plotted to assassinata him. Few of the diplomats friends took this story seriously. Most of them took this as the imagination of a disap- pointed old man who was breeding upon what he considered his wrongs.
