OF SUICIDE IN HAND
Philadelphia Business Man Found

PHILADELPHIA, August 12.-With
pistol in one hand and a copy of
a newspaper telling of the suicide of
DR.. Robert G. Leconte, on the other,
the body of Jared w. Brainard, a
prominent Philadelphia hardware
dealer, was found yesterday in a
patcH of woods along Westchester
Pike. Coroner Frankenfield of Haver-
ford township declared he had been
dead since Thursday.
The police of Philadelphia and
Delaware counties had been search
ing for Mr.. Brainard since midnight,
when his wife reported that he had
not returned from his Office at the
Franklin Hardware Company of
which he was vice president.
Mrs. Brainard said her husband had
seemed unduly affected at the news of
DR.. Leconte's death Wednesday.
Frank A. Mitchell, treasurer of the
company, said that discrepancies had
been found in Mr.. Brainards accounts
and that he had been summoned be-
fore the board of directors last Thurs
day, but did not appear.

DEBT cANcELING UNLIKELY.

Possibility of the United States
Government cancelling the debt of
its allies, as reported to be rumored
in Europe, is looked upon as remote

the President today represent him as
saying that Congress has enacted
into law the governments opinion
about the debt and set up a commits
sion with clear and explicit direc-
tfons as to its duties. In other words,
the President is represented as max
ing himself clear that he is still of
the opinion that the allies should
meet their financial obligations to
this country and that if there is to
be any cancellation of the debt or
any liberality in the matter of terms
1t must be accomplished by amend
ments to the present law or the en-
actment of an entirely new one.
The President was further repre-
sented as being desirous of not hav-
ing this question brought up at this
time, fearing that it may divert the
attention of the allied countries from
the present stand of settling the Ger
man reparation plan.
He thinks that they should concen-
trate on that matter and, according
to the latest reports received at the
White House, the President is under
stood to feel that the reparation pro-
ceedings have progressed most salts
factorily. He realizes, however, that
some little time may be required to
work out all of the details of the
Dawes plan, and for that reason it
probably will be slow in becoming
effective.

letter TELLS STORY
OF DOUBLE TRAGEDY
Chauffeur Believed to Have Shot
Woman He Spurned and
Killed Himself.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
GREAT NECK, n. Y, August 12.--
An unsealed stamped letter. addressed
to Clark Wood of South Norfolk, Va,
today gave the police clue to the
motive for the shooting to death in
an automobile last night of Mrs. Clark
Wood and the suicide of Frank Fay
ward, New York chauffeur.
The letter, written by Fayward and
found in his pocket, told Wood of his
wife's desire to marry Hayward and
of the latter's decision not to wed.
The letter urged Wood to induce his
wife to return to Norfolk, and ended
with this warning:
IF she doesn't go back she will
never marry ME or any one else"
There were no witnesses of the dou-
bic tragedy. The police believe that
the couple quarreled over the letter,
that Hayward shot Mrs. Wood and
then turned the weapon on himself.
hayward was a chauffeur employe ed
by Mrs. Julia Smallwood of New York.
Mrs. Wood had been employed in a
Queens bakery for some time. She
was also known as Dorothy Palmer.

NEW YORK. August 12.-Judge

the application of William H. Ander-
son, former superintendent of the
New York Anti-Saloon League, for a
certificate of reasonable doubt, which
would have permitted Anderson to
leave Sing Sing on bail pending his

leading report to this effect emanated
today from Paris.
Prime Minister Macdonald believes
that the whole matter of debts should
await final acceptance of the Dawes
scheme and should then be taken up
by the allies in conference, but to
say that he would allow France and
Italy to hold up debt settlements for
intangible reparations payments is
utterly without foundation, the cor
respondent was assured.
The United States is said to hold
the same viewpoint. Ambassador
Kellogg has told the allies frankly
that American participation in the
debt settlement is impossible so long
as the question is hitched to repara-
tions.
Without doubt the London confer
ence has helped materially toward
whatever move is made hereafter
toward getting to grips with inter-
allied debts. Its atmosphere has been
more cordial than that, of any con-
ference preceding it,

Eagerness to Pose.

Since his arrest the avidity with
which Leopold poses for flashlights in
Jail also was called bad judgment, as
was his sneering attitude towards
psychiatry when preparations were
being made for a report on his case.
Mr.. Grove asked Judge Caverly for
a subpoena duces tecum for the other
X-ray pictures Of Loeb and Leopold
which DR.. Hubert said were made
in riplicate, and the judge ruled it
would be issued. DR.. Hubert said that
the best Of the pictures developed al
ready had been introduced as evidence.
The defense took DR.. Hubert on re-
direct examination and sought to
bring out that information withheld
from him by Loeb and Leopold, re-
marked on yesterday when DR.. Hull
bert said there were gaps in his. re-
port, relating to perversions and de-
linquences, and which, If told to him,
would have confirmed his conclusions.
DR.. Hubert testified yesterday that
if the gaps had been filled in "they
might have" influenced him to diff

My summary is Loeb has en-
docrine disease that keeps him an
adolescent, and from many activities,
giving him too much time to indulge
in reveries. Due to fault in train

extent. His secret reading at an
early age planted in him a criminal
istic goal as his life's ambition. He
Is anemic to a mild extent. His con-
temptations are pondering. Reveries
are a dominant factor in his

false estimate Of himself and others,

severe enough to lead to suicide.
