BROTHER NEVER REPLIED
Apparently Not Interested in Fate
of Suicide :?

Confirming the common theory that
the suiclde Of G. s. Lewis, of West
Virginia, by drowning in the waters
of the cave-in one night several weeks
ago, was purely and wholly a fake,
the mans brother has not replied to
a letter sent tn him by Mayor H. H.
Wayt III which it was stated that q
thorough search would be made for
the body provided the fapily would
be willing to bear the expense
attached, which was estimated at only
$25. A fortnight has elapsed since
the Mayor forwarded his communica.
tion.
While there are many people who
still believe that Lewis did commit
suicide in the manner indicated in the
note he left, thers- is no longer any
doubt in the minds of the police
that the m IN was crook and that
his supposed drowning was nothing
in the world bat ruse to throw the
authOrltles on his TRACK. IhaG man
of the same name ana corresp. p.nding
to the description of stranger, who
visited the cave-in on the day the
suicide Is supposed to have taken
place, is wanted in the South f..
having passed worthless checks was
shown by press reports and BY letters
received by Chief Lipscomb from
persons who had been defrauded.
The belief is that this same G. s.
Lewis was in Staunton on the after
noon aud, night of his Supposed
plunge into the Underground waters,
that he wrote the note, and that aftel
leaving it with the cap and sHt
empty bottles at the mouth OF thu
oave-in, he quietly beat it out O
town.
