President Madero today published an
official bulletin for the benefit of the

According to Madero. the rebels took
advantage Of the armistice to place ar

Ambrose w. Hodnett, widely known
and supposedly wealthy grain dealer
made a successful attempt upon his life
early today.
As he came into the living room Of
the handsome residence at 627 Pied
mont avenue. he placed the muzzle Of
the revolver in his mouth, pulled the
trigger and sent a bullet crashing into
his brain. Hodnett died at 1875 p. m.
today.
Business reverses are given as the
cause Of the inflicted fatal injury.
Some time since Hodnett left the
business partnership which he had
formed years ago in the grain business
with the Duncan Hodnett Grain Com
pany. He took with him 81 large per
centage Of the firms business. He had
unlimited credit, but small working
capital He booked vast quantities of
future orders When time Tor delivery
came Hodnett, j.; is claimed, was unable
to finance the contracts.
His business friends had offered
within the past week TO loan him any
amount Of capital ne might wish. He
did not wish to sign notes for the
amount needed, and believed he would
pull out of the hole If allowed more
time.
Yesterday he appeared to have drop
PED business cares. He went to the
Central Presbyterian church with his
wife and child, Margaret, In the morn
ing. attending both Sunday school and
morning services. In the afternoon he
took a long walk with Mrs. Hodnett,
and she declares, he did not give the
slightest intimation at that time that he
intended to make away with himself.
In fact, relatives Of the suicide say he
was in excellent spirits during the en-
tire day.
The family retired late last night
after family service. Hodnett, his wife
and child slept in a bed room just off
the living room and library.
Early this morning, just as the sun
rose and its rays crept through the
currained windows of the bed chamber,
Mrs. Hodnett was awakened by her
husband, who was leaning over the
edge of the bed caressing her and muir
muring words Of endeartng farewell.
Relatives declare she arose TO sit
ting position and asked Hodnett why
he was saying goodbye The man did
not reply. Silently he went to the little
crib of his daughter in another corner
Of the room and, bending over the tiny
bed, lifted the sleeping form Of his child
in his arms, pressed the warm, pulsat-

forehead and then, hastily placing her
