to Braintree and East Braintree and

and began telephoning around the
country to locate it. Finally, he
heard of the men being headed tow
ards West Braintree Tuesday morn

Selva Thayer, of Braintree, to take
the team and arrest the men, drunk
or sober. Mr.. Thayer cleverly sta
toned himself at the Braintree sa-
loon and waited for his victims, who

vague rumors, the fact was not recog-
nized until two hours after Mr.. Har-
riman had died.
The immediate cause of Mr.. Har
riman's death will probably never be
learned. Robert l.. Gerry, his SON
in-law, said tonight, that nobody knew
what was the occasion of his father
in-law's illness and that nothing
could be found out short of an au-
topsy. This he said would not be
performed. Mr. Hartman was con-
scious up to IA few minutes before his
death
Up to noon no untoward signs were
apparent. Mr.. Hartman received
his stenographer from the Union Pa

Lyle perceived a swift change for the
worse.

Mr.. Hartman, was sent for. Mr..
Harriman's automobile set out at one
o'clock for Chester, the clergyman
it's utmost to bring him to Arden be-
fore his patron died. The family was
called into the sick room in anticipa-
tion of the direst outcome.
Besides Mrs. Hartman and DR..
Lyle, there were Orlando II. Harri-
man, e. H. Harriman's brother. his
sister, Mrs. Cornelia Simons, Mrs.
Robert Livingston Gerry. who was
Miss Cornelia Hartman, and G. NJ.
