Coroner Gives Out Facts

1t is probable that the efforts TO keep
secret the real cause OF the death of
Laughlih. man. worth, .s2oeoo. 600.
would have been successful if it had not
been for Coroner Samuel Jamison
Forcing an inquiry. the coroner made
an investigation. after which he an
nounced that the. Laughiin case was
one of suicide.
There is a report that Mrs. Laughlin
was in Washington at the time her
husband killed himself and she hurried
back to Pittsburg before the news OF
the death was even made public 1t is
said that she had gone TO Washington
TO attend a musicale at the White
House. In any event Mrs. LsughIin is
now at,her home, and friends declare
that she has been there all the time and
that she herself found the lifeless body
OF her husband.
The reason for the suicide of Laugh
lin is still a mystery. All sorts of ru-
mors are current, the one most per-
sistently repeated being that there
had been trouble between husband and
wife that originated over the disposi-
ton to be made OF a conservatory for
