illness which necessitated a major
operation sometime ago at Rochester,
MINI.
Returning here recently he seemed
to be exceedingly nervous and Mrs.
Post engaged trained nurses to at
tend him.
Mr.. Post arose at his usual hour
this morning, had breakfast and
lounged about until 10 O'Clock when
he excused himself. telling the nurse
on duty at the time that he wished
to go to his apartment to lie down
What happened then is a matter OF
conjecture. A shot was heard; Mrs
Post and nurse rushed to the apart
ment upstairs and found the million.
aire stretched on the floor dead.
Both Mrs. Post and the nurse sale
they did not know how Mr.. Pos
had procured the rife. It's presence
in the room was taken by them tc
indicate that he had planned hi.
death sometime in advance.
