Strong: TALKED OF KILLING HIMSELF. “I believe that Capt. Putnam Bradlee Strong has killed himself. He was in my office about a week ago and then he was greatly discouraged and spoke of doing away with himself. I do not recall his exact words, but it | was apparent that he was thinking of doing away with himself. I tried to cheer him, but he was downcast and seemed to be without hope. “HE HAD BEEN SPECULATING HEAVILY AND HAD LOST EVERY- THING. He told me he was absolutely broke. At the time I thought he would pear watching, as I feared then that he would take his own life. “Thave heard nothing about him having taken his wife's jewels. If he diu that, I did not know it. I know that he had nothing when he came to see me, As soon as I saw the first edition of The Evening World to-day and read of his strange disappearance I felt sure that he had killed himself. “He was in that mood when I saw him, and I believe that he would haye done it that day had I not talked to him the way I did. When he left he seemed brighter, but he sald xood by in such a manner as to leave with me the Inference that it would be the last time | would say good by to him.” SHE DENIES THE JEWEL STORY. Miss May Yohe, when asked whether or not a sensational story to the effect that Capt. Strong had disappeared with $20,000 worth of her jewelry and pawned it, was true, made an emphatic and unequiocal denial.
