\. Y. TREASURER
KILLS HIMSELF
J. ]. Kennedy, Subpoenaed in
Graft Case, Ends Life.
COMMITS ACT AFTER CHURCH
Impending Appearance Before Grand
Jury Thought to Have Brought on
Neutrality-suspicious. Are Found
to Be Correct

Buffalo. N. Y, Feb. 17.-John J.
Kennedy committed suicide In the
Markeen hotel here on Sunday by
cutting his throat with razor. His
body was found by his son, who few
hours before had accompanied Ms
father and mother to the Chapel OF
the Blessed Sacrament to attend
morning services.
Temporary insanity, induced by wor.
ny over his impending appearance be-
fore a New York grand jury, where
District Attorney Charles s. Whitman
has been conducting John Doe graft
inquiry, is said by his attorney, MI.
chael F. Dirnberger, Jr., to be the only
reason that can be assigned for Mr..
Kennedy's act.
Just before leaving Albany on Fri
day Mr.. Kennedy was served with a
subpoena to appear at the inquiry to-
day, and upon his arrival here another
officer from Mr.. Whitman's office
served a second subpoena on him. He
sent for Mr.. Dirnberger, and after a
talk with him it was announced that
Mr.. Kennedy would start for New York
Sunday night. A sleeper ticket for a
train leaving here for New York was
found in Mr.. Kennedy's pocket.
He went to high mass at the Chapel
of the Blessed Sacrament with his son,
William H. Kennedy, on Sunday and
returned to the hotel with him abeut
noon. After greeting his wife and
daughter Mr.. Kennedy said he was 60
ing to his room to lie down. The son
found his body few moments later.
Mr.. Kennedy was born in Buffalo In
1856 and lived here continuously. His
tenure of Office in the common council
marked the longest term OF continuous
service in the history of the city. He
served IL years as member OF the
state Democratic committee and was a
convention from 1884 to 1910. He was
elected state treasurer in 1910 and re-
nominated and reelected in 1912.
A widow and two children-Wil-
liam H., a graduate of Cornell Law
school, and a daughter, Mary Jane
survive him.
New York, Feb. 17.-District Attor
ney Whitman, it was learned, intended
to examine John ]. Kennedy as to his
handling of from $50,000,000 to $3.50,
100000 of state moneys as state treas
urer. He was to be asked particular
ly what motives, if any, governed the
selection Of banks in which state
money was deposited. He was to be
further questioned as to his relations
if any, with the firm of John J. Ken
nedy & Co. of Buffalo, which, the dis
trict attorney has been told, is in the
business of bonding deposits of state
money in state banks and which is
now said to be conducted by Ken
nedy's son.
Albany, N. Y, Feb. 17.-Governol
Glynn said that he had been Informed
by the comptroller's office that it had
checked up State Treasurer Kennedy
last Monday and found his accounts
correct.

ATTACK BY SENATOR
Mrs. M, E. Bond Declares She Was
Assaulted in Hotel Room IN
Washington City.

Oklahoma City, Okla, Feb. H.
Mrs. Minnie E. Bond told a jury in
the district court here Thursday OF
indignities which, she declared, she
suffered at the hands Of United States
Senator Thomas P. Gore OF Oklahoma.
She described in detail an attack
which she alleged occurred In a WASH
ington hotel, March "a. 1913. She is
suing for $4,000 in damages. Three
other witnesses, Dr. J. H. carp. klrky
Fitzpatrick and T. e. Robertson. also
testified in confederation of Mrs. Bond
Mrs. Bond was on the witness stand
the greater part of the day. According
to Mrs. Bond, she met the senator IN
Oklahoma several years ago and went
to Washington last spring when her
husband, Julian Bond, was candidate
for appointment as internal revenue
collector here.
The complainant said she visited
Senator Gore in the interest OF her
husbands candidacy several times at
his Office. On two occasions, she de-
clared, he seized her. Because of the
number of men about the senator's
office she refused, she said, to make
further visits there and by mutual ar
rangement, met him at her hotel.
March "a.
Then, she alleges, he caught hold OF
her, threw her across bed, and In her
efforts to free herself, her eyeglasses
were broken, her face scratched. and
one of her hands lacerated. On cross
examination she said her health had
been impaired since.
