ATTORNEY FOR M.
 WILLNER RIGHT

fContinued from Page 1.) ney, attends to his decision a small portion of Willner's letter, but, sig nificantly enough, does not turn over the communication to the coroner. The portion of the letter the judge does give out is the only part, he says, which would aid the coroner in his criminal investigation. In concluding his memorandum, Judge McEvoy says that Attorney Graicer- stein deserves the commendation of the court for his conduct during a difficult situation.
 Family Was to Die
 The portion of the letter made public in superior court, plus an- other letter written to brother and given out by the coroner today, add considerable evidence to the theory Willner had intended to do away with his entire family when he committed suicide. The letters make it apepar that he believed that his wife and three other children would go to death with little Joel and himself.
 Portion Made Public
 The portion of Willner's letter to Attorney Graicerstein which Judge McEvoy attached to his memoran- dunn reads as follows:
 Perry - This is to let you know that we have reached the end of the rope. We have decided to have it all over with and end all of this struggle and aggravation. You will probably be the first to know about what we have done. Just as soon as you receive this letter, rush up to my house and go in through the garage door but make sure you leave the garage door open SO you wont get the poison. Maurice Willner." !"
 The other portions of the letter, according to Judge McEvoy, refer to matters Of private interest to Willner and his attorney and would be of no aid to the coroner in cosis- pleting his inquest.

q day.
Keep STATS in 2S6 Cities.
With more than 1000. 900 accounts
to be billed monthly, spokesmen said.
the H. o. L. c. job is far from An
1shed. The shift from lending to
liquidation will require a large staff
in 1876 Offices throughout the Nation.
The present staff of 1891 employees
represents a gradual reduction from
q 900 at the late 1884 peak.
Under the loan plan the Federal
Government accepted the mortgage
of distressed home owners and gave
bonds of the H o. l.. c. to the holder
Of the defaulted mortgage.
The Federal loan bore interest at
per cent and was to be paid in Is
years. The maximum loan was S14.-
900, representing 80 per cent of the
appraised value of the property. Aver
age for the million odd loans was So
020 and monthly payment of s24 on
these will wipe out the debt over the
l5-year period.
Chief Benefit Claims.
Chief benefits claimed by H. o. L. C
for the giant venture are:
Rescue of more than one million
home owners who faced foreclosure.
Ending of the depression in rea,
estate values caused by forced sales
with a resulting increase of more than
$4,000, 100000 in value of this type ot
