Three IN SUICIDE PACT THAT ENDED
IN DEATH OF DR.. FREDERICK RUSTIN
Startling Iestimony Brought Out at Irqussi OvssMan
Former Omaha Surgeon .-Meant to Die with
Mrs. kbbie Rice il is Claimed

Omaha, Sept. 9.-Startling revela-
tions were made at the inquest yester-
day into the death of DR.. Frederick
H. Rustin, which gave a new and
strange aspect to the suicide theory
advanced by the police for the past few
days, and indicated that three persons
were involved in a remarkable agree
ment, each seeking death, but for wide
ly different reasons.
Mrs. Abbie B. Rice, the woman ar
rested the night of the shooting and
held since, first as suspect and later
as witness, was the one who gave
the sensational testimony. The prin-
cipal points brought out by her We're:
Wanted to Protect Insurance
l. That DR.. Rustin long had contem-
plated seeking death because of finan-
cial and other worries. but wanted TO
disguise the act so as to protect his
life insurance for the benefit of his
wife and children.
2. That he arranged with her, after
long intimacy, for them to die to-
gether.
3. That he was TO furnish her with
deadly poison, and that in return
she was to shoot him before taking
the drug.
4. That she made several attempts
to carry out the compact. but that in
| each instance her nerve failed her, or
something intervened.
5. That, finally, DR.. Rustin, despair.
| ing of her ever being able to fire the
| fatal shot, told her that he had ar
| ranged with man to perform the
deadly work she lacked the courage to
| do. and that in return he had given
the man a drug to put himself out oi
| the world
Bank Clerk Accused.
| AS a climax to these startling state
ments Mrs. Rice pointed out Charles
F. Davis, a clerk in a local bank, as
| the man with whom he had made' the
arrangements, and Davis. taking the
stand, admitted that he had tried to
