He gave three notes for the slock, each for $23, 220. the notes to be paid, six. twelve and eighteen months respectively from date of making, January 30, 11)02. The total amount to be paid was S6S.700, which was to bear 5 per cent. Interest.

McGarry's affairs were in rather an unsettled and precarious conditional that time and he had no collateral to put up as security for the payment of his notes. It Was arranged that Mr. Guggenhcimer should hold the stock as collateral until the. notes should be paid.

The police returns of the death say that It was a case of suicide. This is based on the fact that they found a white linen handkerchief tied around his. neck when they reached the house.

Mr. Woodruff expressed great satisfaction with the work he had already accomplished, saying he had really en Joyed the two weeks during which he had devoted all his time to the great undertaking, because almost every one had responded generously to his appeal.
