hand of death benumbed hls brain and
he fell Into a deep stupor. The unfin

Whlla this letter, which I* In the

been made public. It la understood the
young husband expressed hls purpo-e
of ending hls life. He bade hls father
and mother an affectionate farewell,
and requested that they kiss hls little
child for him.
The unconscious man waa found by

He said hls win’s peop'e had turned
hls wife against him and that he had
taking poison. He was discovered In
time, however. In the office of Louis

lowed Branch’s ejectment by hla fath-
er-ln-law, J. C. Brewer, from the lat
ter’s home at the time Mrs. Brewet

The father-in-law, Mr. Brewer. Vho
resides at Lakewood Heights, was seen
Thursday at the home of Mrs. Rutler,
In Central place, and talked freely con
cerning hi* dead son-ln-law. He de
clared Branch was a "dope .fiend,? and
had given hls wife much trouble.
“My daughter had done everything Is
her power to get along with Branch,
but he abused and worried her until
she couldn't stxnil It any longer- And
this Is why she would not consent to
leave our protection and try and live
with him again."
“Conduct Unbearable.”
Mr. Brewer stated that Branch's
conduct became so unbearable more
than a year and a half ago that hls
wife qalt him and entered salt for
divorce. On the promise of the young
man, however, to reform, the divorce
proceedings w*r» withdrawn and the
couple went back together. It was

render.
Dy Trieste Leased Wire.
Chicago, Aug. 9.—Henry W. Herlng,
cashier of the Milwaukee Avenue State
Bank, looted by Paul O. Rtenaland, of
over a million, la In Chicago. He has
not been out of Chicago since Monday.
Ho says he Intends to give himself up
and Is confident that In a short apace
of time he can show to tha satisfac
tion of every one concerned that he
had no part In robbing the depoeltora
of the wrecked Institution.
8ayt Ht Was a Tool.
Mr. Herlng la Insistent In hls state
ment that he had nothing whatever to
do with the peculation of the bank
funds. He declares that Stensland's
Instruction* were such that there was
no way on their face of determining
that any crooked business was going
on; It was only tha culmination of a
number of suspicious Incidents and
piling of nots upon not* to carry
Btenaland's real estate operations
that finally mad* him morally certain
that thievery waa rampant In the
bank.
How 8tsnsland Workod.
Whenever Slensland needed money to
bolster up hls operations he worked as
follows, said Mr. Herlng;
Mr! Btensland would com* to my
desk and say to me; ‘Mr. Herlng, please
make out a certain number of notea
(the number of which he would give
me) for these amounts,' he giving me a
memorandum for thefh. I then made
them nut and sent them to him In the
regular routine of business. Later,
ueually the next day, they were re
turned to me duly signed by various
people, or st least they had the alleged
signatures of various people. Mr.
Btensland ordered me to place them to
the credit of hls personal account and
would then drew checks on hls per
sonal account for the various enter
prise* which dragged him to ruin.
Told of Indebtedness.
My suspicion* were aroused some
Urn* ago, hut I made up my mind that
It was my duty to say something to
Mr. Btensland about five weeks ago. I
handed him a paper containing a Hat
of notes for 9880,000, which I believed
should be among the assets of the
bank.
"This Indebtedness,’ I said, ‘la get
ting too large, and It ought to bo fixed
up In some other way, or the bank
will be In trouble.’
"He sat for a moment, and then
said: 'Yes, I kmw: but I bars every
reason to believe I will have tt all
fixed up shortly. Don’t worry. It will
all be taken rare of”
