MIND KILLING,
HINT IN DEATH
OF SW|NDLER
Men involved in Schemes
May Have Driven New
Yorker to Suicide.
GIVES UP AND-DIES
Only Way Out Letter to
Wife Leads to Mental
Murder Theory.

| ~ JUtted press
NEW YORK, April 20.-Dayid
Steinhardt, lawyer who committed
suicide in Philadelphia, rather than
face a charge of bankruptcy frauds,
will prove OF invaluable aid" to the
governments investigation OF the
bankruptcy situation here despite his
death.
Charles H. Tuttle, United States
attorney, announced he would con-
tinue the inquiry and that Stein
hardt had written out a statement of
what he intended to testify before
taking poison in his room at the
Robert Morris hotel, Philadelphia.
Tuttle declared the statement
furnished him with valuable
leads" on the entire bankruptcy
situation here.
Men who wanted their part in
his alleged crimes concealed may
have driven Steinhardt through
suggestion" to end his life. The
possibility of a mental murder"
Was under investigation today as
preparations we're made at Phila-
delphia for a coroner's investiga-
ton into Stenhardt's suicide by
poison just as he vas about to re-
turn Friday to New York to face
prosecution.
The Only Way Out
Authorities believed Steinhardt as
the master mind of a big bank
ruptcy ring could throw light on
populations which might run into
many millions.
A letter, one of several Steinhardt
left, described his deed as the only
way out" This Was an epiStle to
his wife, in which he charged also
that the government was trying to
make him the goat in the investi-
cation into manipulation Of bank
rupt properties i'll New York City.
Authorities are proceeding on the
theory that Steinhardt vas in a po-
sition to reveal names OF men prom
inent i'll the life of the metropolis
That these men or their agents kept
bounding him, to protect themselves,
is the theory.
Death Is Dramatic
Through suggestion, they may
have driven him to his desperate act
Of suicide just as he was about to
return to New York to face the
music"
A letter written by Steinhardt TO
the New York World asked that
paper to make it plain that Stein
hardt's wife and daughter entirely
were innocent of any knowledge Of
the alleged irregularities.
Steinhardt's death was even more
dramatic than his disappearance in
January when he left the city after
allegedly sWindling his clients out
Of between $2,000,0 900 and $4,000 ,0000
He was in his room at the Robert
Morris when George J. Mintzer, as
sistant federal district attorney, ar
rived to take him into custody. Her
bert L. MariS, Philadelphia lawyer,
who had arranged for Steinhardt's
surrender, and Mrs. Steinhardt also
were in the room.
Steinhardt asked to be excused
for a moment, stepped into the next
room and came back a moment
later. He took one step toward
Mintzer and collapsed.
A coroner's autopsy disclosed
poison in his stomach. A small
bottle half filled with poison was
on the floor.
II was reported that Steinhardt
had travelled across the continent
several times and had spent short
while in Mexico in MS attempts to
elude officials.
