LIFE OF WOULD-BE
: SUICIDE IS SAVED
BY tP|LEPT|C FIT
Henry J. Devine Is Stricken on
Car and Poison Is
Found.

An epileptic fit today saved the life
of Henry j. Devine. rty-three years
old, of 202 Mu1berryS street II pre-
vented him from killing himself with
cyanide Of potassium.
He was taken i'll on west bound
Roseville car 1nning along Orange
street. The car was stopped at the
Fifth precinct police station. Sixth
and Orange streets; and he was car
ried into it. =
The first discovery of the police was
a box of cyanide of potassium crys-
tails in the mans pocket. 1t was so
palpable that Devine had tried to kill
himself that the police rushed him to
the City Hospital.
There however, the physicians soon
found that he had taken no poison
and was suffering merely from an at
tack of epilepsy.
When he was able to talk he was
asked what he had intended to do
with the cyanide.
II was going to kill myself, was
his uncorcerned answer.

This would mean a recount of the
entire county and would be a very

Whether a recount will take place or

determined Until the official figures

FAILURE REVEALS
PART OF MISSING !
FUNDS OF BANK
Home Ice and Feed Co., Smiths S
Firm, Had Borrowed
Over $4,000.

The veil ot mystery that has here
tofore. shielded those who benefited
by the looting of the Roseville Trust
Company was lifted a trifle today by
The revelation OF how Raymond u.
Smith, as treasurer of the bank. lent
to the Home Ice and Products Com
pany which he owned, at least S53, 400
on absolutely worthless collateral
AS head of the company he applied
to himself AS treasurer of the bank,
for the loans. AS treasurer he ap-
proved of the loans and made them
to himself. as head of the company.
The company is now in bankruptcy.
1t was simple procedure, and the
banking department has at last fer
reted out the workings of it.
l.. II. Vredenburgh, the special dep
uty State commissioner wnv is now
in charge of the Roseville Trust Com
pany. said today that the examiners
had found about 800, 900 of Home Ice
and Products Company notes in tho
bank. Some were found to be re-
newals.
A careful tabulation revealed the
fact that $53, 900 worth of the notes
were secured by collateral absolutely
worthless.
The remaining $47 900 have not been
fully investigated as yet Mr.. Vre-
denburgh says that when he had sat
isfied himself about the notes amount
ing to $53 900 he had postponed further
work along that line since he was con-
WINGED he had already obtained
enough criminal evidence to convict
the eX- treasurer
Smith is at present playing wait
ing game. 1t became known today
that he would refuse TO testify when
called to the stand in his bankruptcy
hearing next weeq. He will be taken
from the county jail where he Is be-
ing held in default of $4,000 to the
bankruptcy court on writ of habeas
corpus, but once there his lips will
remain sealed.
His refusal to testify will. of course,
be contempt of court, but since that is
punishable only by Imprisonment and
he is already prisoner he will have
little to fear.
All but 100000 of the necessary de-
post accounts to insure the reorgani-
zation of the bankrupt trust COM
pany now are assigned to the new
Mutual Bank, of RoSeville.
Clifford F.s MacEyoy, president of
the Depositors' association. said to-
day that approximately $750.000 of de-,
posits had been transferred.
IT is necessary for the new bank
to have $4,000, or ninety per cent.
of the total deposits of 100000 by
Monday Little difficulty is antici-
pated in obtaining the additional as
signments. Thirty or forty assign
ments were received by the first mail
today.
Mr.. Yredenburgh was asked
what action the banking department
would take when the new Mutual
Bank had obtained the required
amount of deposit ACCOUNTS.
'"That will be decided by Commits
sioner La Monte he said. After he
gives the reorganization plan his APP
proval, if he does, the Court of Chan
Gerry will then have to pass on it.

the attitude of the court will be- Per-

seems to be just as much in the dark
as to when the chancellor bill actually
takes effect as are Prosecutor Louis
Hood Sheriff John L. Monahan and
County Clerk Joseph McDonough,
who are interested in the problem OF
when the new law takes effect.
Chief Justice Giimmere said today
that as yet he had reached no con-
cIusion on the matter and intimated
that it swould be the subject of a
conference of the Supreme Court
within a feS days.
AS pointed out in the Evening Star
ON Wednesday, the bill becomes a

law provides that the commissioners

800 for grand jury or less than 700

together with the sheriff, to submit
list thirty days prior to that time,
especially as a commissioner cannot
be appointed, by the chancellor until
after the law has become effective on
November 25.
Whether . commissioner appointed

come effective can then make up a
list and present 1T for use is a ques-

Absorption of Three
 Mines Rumored.

A Bisbee dispatch says: Continual rumors regarding the absorption Of the Saginaw, Denn and Warren mines by larger companies are now af1oat here, but to date nothing definite looking towards an absorption has transpired. The Saginaw is controll- ed by the c. x A., Denn by the Shat tuck and the Warren is an lndepend- ent mine. One of the most current rumors about the Saginaw is that the c. x A. is about to run drift from the Junction shaft to the Saginaw shaft. The Denn property lies be- tween the c. x A. and Saginaw prop critics and this has given rise to the report that the c. x A. will take over the Denn.
