SLAYER Of FORMER
MARINE ATTEMPTS
LIFE 6 WEEKS AGO

WHITE PLAINS, n. Y. May 2S.--
Walter S. Ward, wealthy bakers son,
who yesterday surrendered himself
with the statement that last week he
had shot in self defense Clarence
Peters, an ex-marine, whom he
charged with blackmailing him, near
~ died from poison about six weeks
ago. This became known late today
when DR.. Orville II. Schell stated that
he had been summoned to the home
of young Ward and found him writh-
ing on the floor with an empty bottle
of poison beside him.
TT is my personal opinion that the
taking of the poison was accidental,
DIR. Schell said. Mr.. Ward Is SUBJ
ject to very severe headaches and it
is an easy thing to get medicines
mixed in the dark. He had a mar
row escape"
Meanwhile, though authorities
spent the day checking up in detail
the story told by Ward of running
pistol fight with three alleged black
mailers with whom he had held q
rendezvous, the nature of the hold
which they had upon him-and which
was alleged to have led to a $4,000
payment--remained secret.
In this connection it was learned
that shortly before the shooting
Ward received from his father,
George S. Ward, millionaire head of
the Ward Balcing company, then on
the liner Majestic. q message read
ing:
mot one cent for blackmail."
This message replied to one from
his son telling him of additional de-
mands on him.
The young wife. seen today at her
home in New Rochelle, where her
husband is police commissioner, pro-
fessed stoutly her confidence in him.
She stated that she did not know
until yesterday of the demands that
had been made on her husband. She
added that she did not know OF his
receiving any more letters from two
men known only as Ross" and
Jack" who were alleged to have
been with Peters when he was shot.
Search for the two men, which
proved fruitless in the tenderloin last
night. was pressed today at the
Jamaica Race track and other resorts
of turfman. 1t was understood that
a check was being made on a report
that ROSS" and Jack" representing
themselves as connected with the
Quincy stables, had introduced them
selves to Young Ward at the track.
The authorities of West Chester
county indicated that they were TAX
ing nothing for granted in the case,
but were checking up on every state
ment made by Ward who is at lib
erty under $4,000 bail.
They were at a loss to determine
what had become of the pistol with
which Peters, who hailed from Hav-
erhill, Mass, was said to have threat
ened the victim of his alleged black
mail plot. Peters was shot in ms
tracks, but no gun has come to light,
according to investigators.
It became known tonight that the
authorities are investigating stories
concerning Wards Immediately past
which they believe may have bear
ing on the events that led UP to the
shooting. One of the reports being
investigated is that Peters was pres
ent with Ward in the latter's home
last Tuesday night a few hours be-.
fore the shooting at poker party,
in which several other men are said
to have participated in.
The officers also are investigating
a report that Ward Is indebted in a
sum exceeding $4,000 to race track
betting commissioners.

Milner, made public an affidavit signed by three nationally known men setting forth that an alleged quotation from Lincoln which was used in local option campaign in Georgia in 1887 was an admitted fraud.
 The affidavit. signed by the Rev. Sam Small, evangelist, Rev. Sam Jones, and Henry w. Grady declares that sometime after the campaign, Col. John B. Goodwin, who had been the director of the prohibition forces told that he himself had com posed the alleged words of Lincoln so as to attract the adhesion Of the col ored voters"
 The alleged statement of Lincoln's views were set forth in circular widely broadcast in the campaign, and did much to defeat the local op tion measure by winning over the en- tire colored vote to the side of the vets, Rev. Milner, explained.
 The words credited to Lincoln, but since admitted to be those of another were:
