ENDS LIFE WITH CHARGE OF
DYNAMITE IN FIELD

Pennsburg, Pa, Dec. 1S.-After
walking to a vacant field near his
home this morning, William Reiter,
67 years old, retired well driller of
Red Hill, seated himself on charge
of dynamite and exploded the cap.
His body, badly shattered and burned,
was found 20 feet from the spot of the
explosion by boys who were return
ing from a trapping trip. He died
shortly after being found. Despon-
dency over the fact that he had been
notified to vacate his home today is
believed responsible for the suicide.

of John J. Sullivan, counsel for
Arthur c. Burch, on trial in the Los

The letters, most Of which con
tanned expressions Of extreme affec-

dence by the prosecution. and many
OF them were quoted by Asa Keyes,
deputy district attorney. in the open
ing argument by the state. Mr.
Keyes argued they showed Mrs.
Obenchain's love turned 20 hate,
that other evidence showed she sum-
moned Burch 20 Los Angeles from
Evanston. IL, and that Burch, al
her instigation, shot Kennedy 20
death.
Mr. Sullivan told the jury he be-
lieved the letters indicated "a love
which endured TO the end" He de-
clared he did not think any reason
able person could read them and
come TO the conclusion that their
author ever dreamed of harming
