torney Whitman Is Mystifed.

Buffalo, N. Y. Feb. 17.-John j.
Kennedy committed suicide in the
Markeen hotel here on Sunday by
cutting his throat with a razor His
body was found by his son, who a few
hours before had accompanied his
father and mother to the Chapel of
the Blessed Sacrament to attend
morning services.
There was no note found, nor was
there anything known that would ex-
plain why he should have decided to
end his life. Kennedy was to have tes-
titled on Monday in the graft case in
New York that is being conducted by
District Attorney Whitman. A sub
poena was served upon him Saturday.
A copy of the subpoena and a sleep
ing car reservation on the night train
to New York were found in his pocket.
He had previously refused to waive i'm
munity and testify when asked to do
so by Mr.. Whitman. According to a
report here, Mr.. Whitman is in pos
session of Mr.. Kennedy's bank &C
counts, showing that the state treas
urer had borrowed money from sew
eral banks that were repositories of
state funds.
New York, Feb. 17.-District Attor-
ney Whitman is unable to account for
the suicide of State Treasurer Ken
nedy because of any evidence that he
has against him. 1t is true that Ken
nedy has borrowed money from sew
eral banks, in one at least of which
state funds had been deposited, but
this would hardly seem to be sufficient
motive for suicide.
