It Is evident that lioyd s plans were made with great deliberation. It was said at tho time of his disappearance that he left liabilities of $10,000 or more, but he had been mortgaging his property and securing all the ready money possible and it is thought he could have paid atl his debts and carried on a profitable business had lie been so inclined.
