WEALTHY MAN ENDS LIFE MURDER INQUIRY LEADS TO SUICIDE OF LEADING CITIZEN OF SAVANNAH, ILL. Savannah, III., May 26.-Rothwell Pulford, reputed to be the wealthiest citizen of Savannah, committed suicide during the day, a few minutes after being questioned regarding the whereabouts of a revolver with which he was suspected of having slain Attorney Daniel S. Berry, former leading member of the Illinois legislature. Pulford has denied any knowledge of the killing of Berry, but became agitated when questioned concerning the revolver. The story has been widely circulated that Berry was killed as a result of attentions paid by him to a married woman. Pulford, on arriving at his store in the morning, found a newspaper man waiting for him with queries as to the revolver. As soon as the interviewer had left Pulford hurried home and, going to the hayloft of his barn, shot himself dead. When Daniel Berry was killed in Pulford's Opera House last Monday and the authorities began to question Pulford it was evident to those who knew him best that Pulford's mind was giving away. "He is not mentally sound," said Chief of Police C.S. Barker two days ago. "I am afraid he will kill himself." Similar fear was felt by Mrs. Pulford. Pulford's death ends the life of a man who rose from a poor boy to the position of one of the wealthiest men in this section of Illinois. A tireless worker he accumulated money fast and besides owning much of the most valuable real estate of Savannah he was the president of the Commercial bank and the owner of the electric light system. 3.

POWER IS GIVEN TO REOPEN BANK ACTION TAKEN IN CLOSED MINERAL CITY CONCERN. President Wilson Defends W. L. Davis-Assistant Cashier's AIleged Doings-Four Parties Declared Bank rupt. A lively and intersting meeting of the depositors of the closed People's Deposit bank at Mineral City was held. As a result, an amendment was offered and passed giving to the trustees discretionary power to open the bank again for regular business or close and settle with the depositors in the earliest possible time. The reopening proposition considered the issuing of three-year certificates of deposit to the creditors bearing 3 per cent interest. In that time it appeared hopeful that business would be on a. good, sound financial basis. The receiver proposition does not meet with the approval of the majority, being altogether too expensive and too tedious a process. The depositors named the trustees, who are as follows: Edward C. Brick, C. E. Sattler and Michael Mowls, the last named a citizen of Waynesburg. The trustees will meet Friday and decide the question of reopening. President T. E. Wilson was one of the speakers and said some blamed him for the wreck and ruin, and very unjustly. He wasn't inclined to censure Vice President Davis so severely as some do, believing that Davis has money tied up in his coal lands which under other conditions would repay the banking institutions dollar for dollar on his irregular loans. Mr. Wilson said he asked no position of trust in the reconstruction they contemplated. He only asked to help them to the extent of his abilities share with the other depositors in the final settlement. Much indignation is alleged to be expressed among certain depositors against E. G. Gensamer, who was assistant cashier at the time of the bank's closing. Gensamer is charged (right or not) with knowing the bank's condition and tipping certain of the depositors in advance, enabling them to withdraw their funds before the doors were closed. Gensamer obtained a license in probate court Wednesday to marry Miss Bierly, Mineral City. It is Miss Bierly's relatives Gensamer is charged with having tipped. The assistant cashier's prospective fatherin-law and others of the Bierly family withdrew their money in safety is the story that is told in Mineral City. Gensamer was in Canton, SO it is said, when he sent them the alleged warning. He has found the little town rather an unpleasant place since these suspicions have been talked openly and is leaving the town for another location. DECLARED BANKRUPTS. Referee in Bankruptcy A. M.
