The President and Secretary Hay oc- cupied the front pew. Back of them were seated Secretaries Moody and Hitchcock, Postmaster General Payne and Secretary Cortelyou.

Montague & Co. ) 19 317 MARKET STREET | JURY REJECTS - SUICIDE THEORY Decides That Whayne’s Death Was the Result of Accident. LOUISVILLE, Ky, Dee. 20.—The Coro- ner’s jury, which spent a full day investi- gating the death of R. C. Whayne, the prominent! business man who was found last Wednesday night in the viecinity of Jacobs Park with a gunshot wound in the breast, returned a verdict of accidental death. Intense interest was manifested in the case, as Whayne carried life in- surance policies aggregating $3%0,000 and had applied for $50,000 more. Among the policies carried by Whayne were the fol- lowing: Equitable Life Assurance So- ciety of New York, $200,000; Provident Savings Life Assurance Society of New York, $120,000; Union Central Life, $10,000; New York Life, $5000; Northwestern Mu- tual Life, $5000. ‘Whayne had applied for a policy of $25,000 with the Manhattan Company and the policy was to issue December 22. Another application had been made to the Mutual of Vermont for an equal amount, and this policy was to be issued Decem- ber 24. It was upon the fact that Whayne carried such a large life insurance and ‘was sald to be suffering from rheumatism that a theory of suiclde was based. * Near Whayne’s body when found, but on the opposite side of a wire fence, was a shotgun with one barrel empty and the other loaded and cocked. His friends and family declared that death was due to an accident, and that the gun was dis- charged while he was climbing through the fence. The evidence offered at to- day’s inquest supported the theory of accident altogether, there being no feat- ures which pointed to suicide. It is not known what steps the insur- ance companies will take. Several New York detectives are here. A part of the $290,000 insurance is incontestable.
