freshness was in marked contrast with
the ink of the two notes.
Another fact that has been brought
out is that one of the notes was ad
dressed to Mrs. Lorillard and was in
the handwriting Of another person
The second note had been written by
Mrs. Lorillard evidently many days
before her death. The note to Mrs.
Lorillard is said to have been address.
ed to her in an informal way
The trinkets consisted of chain, to
which was attached some pendants OF
little intrinsic value, reminding those
who beheld them of the high school
days Of girls. It was evidently Mrs.
Lorillard's hope that neither the notes
nor trinkets would be revealed to hu.
man eye after hers had turned from
them.

coroner pursuant to her written re-
quest that the tragic missives be buri-
ed with her. Last night the body was
On it's final journey to the grave.
Hillyer Place, the Lorillard resi-
dence, was left by the funeral party at
s o'clock yesterday afternoon. The
destination was Irvington, the old
home of the Lorillards.
On the beautiful, sun-kissed east
bank of the Hudson, the casket was
1nterred today.
Dramatic Incident.
The departure from the city furn-
1shed another of the dramatic events
which have characterized the death by
suicide of this prominent woman.
At the very hour when the first so
cial circles of the capital. in which
Mrs. Lorillard had been accorded
the aristocratic Massachusetts avenue,
the body of the deceased was convey
ed rapidly down that thoroughfare to-
ward the station.
The husband. one of the famous
Lorillards of the tobacco business and
prominent clubman and sportsman,
and his son. Pierre. by their own pre-
ference were the only mourners
The funeral ceremonies had been
conducted several hours before at
1880 o'clock. A few of Mrs. Loril-
lard's most intimate friends. principal
IL those who gathered with her the
night of her death at the dinner given
by Mrs. Richard Townsend, were pre-
sent.
Services Were Brief.
Rev. Roland Cottonsmith, of st.
Johns Episcopal church, officiated at
the services, which occupied only
half an hour.
Shortly afterward the most drama
tic event OF the day took place. when
DR. Ramsey Newt. the coroner. laid
away in the folds of the shroud two
notes and the mysterious trinkets
found on Mrs. Lorillard's body after
her death.
Contrary to the general understand
ing, Mrs. Lorillard wrote neither of
the notes, after she returned from the
Townsend dinner It is now believed
that the only words she wrote on the
morning of her death were on an en-
velope that contained the notes and
the trinkets. They were:

were written had been freshly smear

MAlFEASANCE IS
THE CHARGE MADE
Action Brought Against Squire
Gates, Who Is Well Known
Locally.
PROTESTS HIS INNOCENCE
PROTESTS HIS INNOCENCE
CLAIMED THAT ACCUSED As
SESSED A FINE. BUT CHANGED
RULING WHEN IRREGULAR PRO-
POSAl WAS MADE.

Squire Preston Gates. of Corners
vile, we'll known to the attorneys Of
this city has been charged with Grim.
inal malfeasance In an indictment re-
turned by the Fayette county grand
jury Gates says he will be able to
prove his innocense. 1t is charged
that in the prosecution of Wash Rob-
inson on the charge of wife desertion
the squire found the defendant guilty
and assessed fine. The prosecuting
attorney left the office to prepare 1he
defendants bond and while gone. the
defendant proposed to the squire il he
changed his finding. he would pay all
the costs including SIS as the squire's
fee. Thereupon he changed his yer.
dict and Robinson settled as he prom
Used.
Into Bad Repute.
Such actions as that alleged against
Squire Gates have brought the office
OF justice of the peace into disrepute.
In Marion county year ago an exam
ination of the justices offices was
made and it was found they had re-
sorted to all kinds of measures to get
money. Under the statutes In Grimm
al cases heard by a justice. unless the
defendant is found guilty, the squire
loses the costs of the case and his fee.
II is claimed this is too much OF an
inducement to bring about convictions
and in civil cases too often results in
findings for the plaintiff.
