Several things have occurred of late

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 2.-Mystery
still surrounds the death Of Vernal Re-
walk, the young student who sue
cumbed early yesterday morning at the
harbor emergency hospital to the ef-
fects of potassium of cyanide. The
opinions of the physicians and officials
who investigated the case are that Re-
walk committed suicide, but the father
of the boy and his closest friends are
inclined to think he was the victim of
foul play.
1t developed today that for the past
three weeks he had been addicted to
frozen absinthe and other drinks of an
injurious character He is said to have
used them in considerable Quantities.
The boy was of a highly emotional tenn
perament and inclined to be Respondent
at times.
According to report, Revalk was in
love with a young woman who was
married last week, and it is thought
this made him respondent.
The police feel there is something
back of the death of Revalk and are in
vestigating his connection with the COL
lege fraternity, some of the members
of which were at the farewell party
rendered him on the eve of his in
tended departure for the Philippines.
1t is known that a secret meeting of
the members was held yesterday morn
Ing. Revalk wrote four letters before
starting on the hack ride that ended
with his death, and only one has been
accounted for. That was sent to Leland
Sparks, son Of the late governor of

that he received the letter and left this
