Whether she reciprocated is not posi-
lively known, but Julia, her 10-year

ing statements. The family of three
lived together till last Monday at 259

ration, Bayes going to the home of
his sister, Mrs. Ida Miller, at 4S7 South
Twelfth street, and the wife and

HE PLANNED HIS OWN DEATH
Ago evaded Law Against Com hitting Suicide.

Suicides often adopt ingenious methods. but the art of the felo de se seems not to have advanced material ly during the centuries The modern case Of heavily insured broker who on feigned hunting trip stood bare legged in quagmire for hours and wilfully contracted fatal pneumonia is matched in cleverness by one 300 years old
 The following facts are well vouehed for, and indeed were never Ques- toned, says the Green Bag. Sir Will liam Hankford, judge of the kings bench in the reigns of Edward HI. Henry ", Henry and Henry VI. and at the time Of his death chief justice of England, was man Of melancholy temperament.
 He seems to have contemplated suicide the greater t of his long life and during his later years the idea became fixed purpose The act was of peculiarly serious conse- quences in those days for the reason that the law treated il as a capital crime The offender was buried al the cross roads, with a stake driven through his body, and all his goods and property were forfeited 10 the crown 10 the utter ruin of his family.
 Hankford made good use Of his wits and succeeded in accomplishing his purpose without incurring either unpleasant penalty. He gave open instructions to his gamekeeper, who had been troubled with poachers in the deer preserve to challenge all trespassers in the future and to shoot to kill If they would not stand and give an account.
 One dark night he purposely crossed the keepers path, and upon challenge made motions of resistance and escape The faithful servant. failing to recognize his master, fol- lowed instruction to the letter as was expected of him. and Sir William fell dead in his tracks. The whole truth of the affair was common knowledge, but 1t was impossible to establish case of suicide by legal proof The servant was protected by his instructions Hankford had hon. orable burial and his estate passed to those whose interests as heirs he had so wisely considered.
