The suicide of Haas wag tho sub

the pistol with which he took his Ufa.
Two theories were advanced. One
wus that he had the pistol hidden In
his a-ioe from the time he attempted
to kll My. Heney and that It waa over
looked by the police. The other the
ory Is that the pistol was passed to
Haas while ho was In conference with

HALEY’S HORSE
fN HARD LUCK
Porters Tsko Him Out And Have Pleas
ant Drives About the City, And All
With Permission of tho Owner—One
Now In the Lock-Up.
Mr. Herbert F. Haley haf a horse for
which there seems to be a faxclnatlc
among the porters of h!s establishment.
Some time ago a porter took the horse
and the buggy out, and the night waa
spent driving all over the county. He
could be heard from in all directions.
They said he was out at Cross Keys,
but Just for a moment. Then It came In
that he was skinning past Seven Bridges
with hla girl. Then tne news was brought
In that he wag over In Clinton. Then It
waa flashed over tho wire that ho waa
headed for Forsyth. Rut at any rate, he
made a night ot It with the horse and
buggy. The man was Anally caught, con
victed and fined, possibly sent to ths
gang. At any rata he was put.iahed.
Now It turns out that another porter,
possibly not knowing the fate that over
took the other man. took the same ~
out early yesterday morning and
gone all day. Mr. Haley had given out
that he would leave the city yesterday,
and the porter evidently thought him
and of oourf thought he would
for the horse and buggy, and
ess
dav oa yesterday.
* The police were notified, and In the
■cly pace, still thinking,
that Mr. Haley waa out of town, »na
was arrested and locked up. Will told
the officers that he merely rode out Into
the country to get a regular old-fashioned
country breakfast, and of course was
coming right back, but he waa Invited to
stay for dinner, and as the horae and
buggy was not In use on Sunday, he
might as well stay, and stay hedid.
He will tell the recorder about It this
morning, and probably express regrets
for having been mistaken about Mr, Ha
ley being awny.
