GENERAL LUARD A SUICIDE.
Husband of Murdered Woman Cut to
Fieces by Train.
iralllkllllllj Knpland. Sept IS.-M&jor General
Charles Edward I^iard (retired), whose wife was
mysteriously murdered near London on August 24,
committed fulrlde to-day by throwing himself in
front of a train.
General Luard had been a guest of Colonel
Charles Kdr.-arc! V.'arde. M P.. at Teston. H» left
the house early this morning, and going dire.tly to
the railroad threw himself In front of an oncoming
train. Colonel Warde found a letter from General
I.uard saying his body would be found under the
train. It raid:
You will find my body at the T^ston cfosatag. I
jin sick of the pcandalbus and lying report', and 1
cannot 'ace my son. whom I expected to meet to
day, ana I nave decided to •nd my me.
The general had received letters accusing him of
havinc murdered hK wife. His son, an army of
ficer. 1p on his way from the Transvaal.
Mrs I.uard was shot n«>ar Sevenoaks the after
noon of August 24. a fey- moments after her rus
band had left h»r to go to a n-arby club on an
errand When he returned he found her dead.
The traric death of the g'r.ersl. who found the
body, has revlv-d public interest In this murder.
The InqiiCt wjlch Is to be resumed next week. ha-<=
not reyeaied the slierhtest clew. All the witnesses
ajrree that Mrs J.uurd bad no enemies, and the
facts dis-rcdlt the theory of robbery, because Mrs.
I uard's purse and rings, which were taken from
her body. were of little value. An expert testified
that it was impossible for Uie bullets which caused
a»at!- to have b*en fired from any of th" revolvers
owned by General Lnard, thMe being all of much
jmalifr calibre.
Major General Luard was th« eldest surviving
Bon of the late Major I>uard Selby. of Ichtham
Mote. Kent. He was bom October 13. 18», and
entered the army in IS.", becoming a lieutenant
colonel in ISB2. a colonel in l«fi and a major general

the Bultan of Morocco. He devised the scheme for
the rearmament of Gibraltar In 1871. In 1871- h
cervod at Staff headquarters. Th* United Bervlce
K-croation Ground was laid out by him at Ports
mouth In ISSS--92. ' Later he w«Srt to Natal and
Zululand. After bia return lie was for rourteen
years a County Councillor In Kent. In 1901 he
founded the Society of Miniature Rifle Clubs, and
In 1W the Patriotic Society. He lectured before

MISSING CHICAGO MAN FOUND.
Disappeared Eight Years Ago — An
other Fortune in California.
Chicago, Sept. 18.— Attempts to settle the estate
of John F. Wollensak. formerly a wealthy hard
ware merchant here, hut for years believed to be
dead, resulted to-day in the discovery that h» is
alive and has amassed another fortune in a small
town in California, where he has lived, keeping
his identity secret from his relatives and friends.
Proceedings In the Probate Court almost reached
the point of having WoHaensak declared legally
dead when he was found alive and well, although
enfeebled by age. iii the Western town. Eight
years ago Wollensak left his office at Canal and
Washington streets and disappeared without leav
ing a trace. His wife and children mourned him
as d- ad, although the mystery of his departure
was not solved.
I^egal formalities connected with the transfer of
real estate owned by him which was desired by a
ralln made It necessary that his death be marie
n matter of judicial record. The proceedings were
stopped by the tiling of an affidavit declaring "John
Wollensak resides out of the state." Further In
quiries brought Wollenaak to Chicago, unrevealed
to his friends- The property in Canal Ptreet sought
by the railroad is valued at over $300,000.
