after paying few small bills about
town he bought q revolver and went
to his home in apartments over a res.
taurant where he shot himself. He
was found in pool of blood by his
wife who heard the shot.

"My attention has been called to
certain newspaper articles which have
appeared during the past week, and
which seriously reflect upon me as
the head of the department Of public

tice to pay much attention to such
articles. However, it is not my dis
position to rest quietly under charges
which affect my good name or my
honesty of purpose. therefore ask
your honorable body to take such
steps as in your judgment seem best
to investigate thoroughly the con.
duct of my department. I have
nothing to conceal, and every assist
:ance will be given any committee to
make a full and fair Investigation"
1t is understood that committee
will be named to investigate this Of.
flee and at the same time all of the
financial Offices Of the state, and es.
ipecially the secretary of state. where
all supplies are purchased, and all
dfth-class printing is handled.
