SEATTLE, Sept, l2,-Thomas A,
Edison who is taking vacation on

Dead Mans Books Are in Good Or

Day When Discovered-Examina-
ton Shows Cyanide Of Potassium.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. IL
Erkine Richardson, secretary Of the
Ralston Iron Works OF this city was
found dead today in his apartments,
and from the hasty examination il is
supposed death was due to cyanide of
potassium taken with suicidal intent
Several cans of deadly drug was found
in the room, Richardson having been
accustomed to the use Of il in photo
ghapic experiments. Richardson has
been missing from his Office for two
days and nights and as his signature
was necessary to pay checks to be is
sued today, President Ralston and
others OF the company went to his
room to find out what become OF him.
The door was locked and they were
compelled to force their way in. They
found Richardson's body stretched on
the bed, life having been extinct
since yesterday President Ralston
says that there is no possibility in
shortage in the dead mans accounts.
Mrs. Richardson is not at home.
Ralston stated tonight that Rich
ardson had recently tried to secure
additional life insurance and the risk
was refused He believed this preyed
on Richardson's mind and may have
had something to do with his deter
mination to end his life.
