RUSTiN TOLD OF
INTENDED SUICIDE
Woman Declares Famous Yale
Athlete COnfided His Finan-
cial Troubles to Her
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

OMAHA, Sept 6.-Driven to the last
ditch of desperation by pressing cred
itors and believing every opportunity
to renew his dwindling fortunes was
gone. Dr.. Frederick Rustin, the famous
Yale athlete, was found dying by his
wife on the front porch OF their home
at o'clock Wednesday morning, him
self having fired the bullet which re-
suited in his death.
This is gathered from signed
statement made in the presence Of the
county attorney, the chief OF police
and a shorthand reporter by Mrs ABB
bic L Rice, who was detained at the
police station because she was one of
the last persons to see the physician
alive.
Although Mrs. Rice has been acquaint-
ed with Rustin since last December,
she did not know of his desperate
financial condition until about four
weeks ago, when he told her he had
come to the end of his resources and
had decided to end his troubles. She
said:
TROUBLED BY CREDITORS
I'VE walked out Farnum street from
Sixteenth to Fortieth last Tuesday
night, where I left. him. was
sure something was going to happen.
After going to my room I called UP
the Rustin home three times and each
time was assured by a womans voice
that the doctor had not arrived. This
made me all the more sure something
was wrong, because I had left him
only block away from his home.
''Dr. Rustin told me that he received
notice to vaoate his Office because of
nonpayment of rent; that his grocery
bill was several months behind and
that he was being pushed; that the
the landlord; that he had borrowed
from dozens of his friends who wanted
their money. and that he had num-
Der of checks which had been ac-
cepted by the bank, but which he had
no funds to cover.
INSURANCE IN FORCE
But his life insurance bothered him
the most and he told me a number of
policies had lapsed because he was un-
able to pay the premiums. He did
not tell me the exact amount of policies
he had, but I gathered from what he
said that about $4,000 was still in
force.
How the doctor was shot I don't
know, nor have I the slightest idea.
One thing is sure. he concealed from
me any revolver he might have had and
I do not believe he was carrying one
when he left me Tuesday night He
thought the world of his family and
said to me that although he believed
/ was a good woman with big heart
and that he had thought very much OF
me, his real love was for his wife and
babies at home, and 1 believe that was
true
