Lost on the Races
Count Palffy came to Salt Lake Jan
uary 26, accompanied by woman
who registered at the Albert as his
wife. She left two days later, taking
her baggage with her, and from that
time until his death the count is said
to have lived lonely, morbid life.
According to the hotel employees he
never associated with anyone after the
woman left and never appeared to
have any business in the city. He ire.
quently played the races, his aristo-
cratic, though mournful countenance
having been seen nearly every day
mingled with the pool-room gamblers.
From what could be learned last night
he lost heavily playing certain hor.
SEES on Mexican and Texas race cours-
es. Inasmuch as he speaks of his
stables and his horses to the lawyer,
it is believed possible that Palffy was
backing his own thoroughbreds.
Both letters were dated Saturday,
February II. From the condition OF
the body when found, DR.. II. B.Spra.
que, who was called, gave 1t as his
opinion that death had ensued at
least AZ hours before. Palffy was last
seen alive Saturday morning when he
entered the lobby and went to his
room.
Clerks Find Body

was unable to enter the room, but

accustomed to sleeping late. Monday

COUNT PALFFY
ENDS LIFE IN
HOTEL ALBERT
Austrian Nobeman Drinks Poison In
Salt Lake Hotel, Leaving Letters
Which Only Partially Reveal Dark
Secrets.

Salt Lake City Feb. 20.--Attracted
by strange odor of drugs emanating
from room 1903 at the Albert hotel,
employees of the hotel forced the
door at o'clock yesterday after
noon and found the body of Count
Rainier Palffy, first scion Of the
House of Komarom, Austria Hungary,
upon the bed.
The odor was that of opium. Gnaw-
ed by sorrow, the secret of which
even death had failed to reveal, the
count who for three weeks had been
a sojonrner in Salt Lake under his
American name of Paul NJ. Rainer,
had swallowed opium, boiled to its
giguid form.
Suicidal intent was obvious. On the
writing table was found letter ad.
dressed to George b. Taliferro, an at.
Sorney in San Antonio, Texas, giving
directions as to the disposal of the
counts estate in Texas.
The police learned last night that
Count Palffy had lost $4,000 last week
betting on horses running at Juarez
and posted in a local pool room. II
was also learned that he lost heavily

of other kinds OF apparel all of the
costliest and finest sort, among the
dead mans effects. He also found
two pawn tickets one calling for

or for gold watch and chain. These
articles had netted the count total
Of $66. Both tickets were dated Jan
uary 1.
1t required the services of an ex-
press wagon and q porter to remove
the dead mans wardrobe from the
hotel TO the office of the coroner.
There was one fivecent piece in
the pockets of suit Palffy had worn

bank. These indications of financial
shortage, together with the pawn tick
cts, furnish the only direct motive

theory.
Suicide Deliberate
In his letter Count Palffy made but
one reference to his act of self-de-
struction, and that was far from OK
planatory. The letter follows:
Dear Mr.. Taliferro: Unfortunate
circumstances force me to suicide

poses to limit industrial concerns gen
orally. In actual practice this worked
So badly that the effort had to be aban-
doned. At present the insurance COM
panies are not limited in size, but they
are supervised and controlled. There
Is plenty of competition among them,
and the policy-holders are SO well pro-
tected that they are entirely satisfied,
those in the big companies more than
those in the others.
The sum Of the matter therefore, is
this: Mr.. Wilson. like Mr.. Taft, has nc
