SENSATIONAL PENDING
WHITAER WRIGHT DIES AFTEH
RECEIVING SEVEN YEARS'
SENTENCE.
Promoter Whose Career Was Known
on Both Sides of the Pond Does
Nat Live to Wear the Stripes.
At 3 ri'clock Tuesdny afternoon,
Wiiltnker Wright, thq mining pro
mnter who has been on trial In Lon
don for absconding with funds of tho
London & (Jlolio Kinanco corporation,
by which the stockholders lost moro
than $111,000,000, wno sentenced to
nuvuti yenrs' penal servitude. At 4
o'clock ho lay dead on tho floor of
n small room In tho law courts.
Whuthor ho took his own llfo by
poison or whether donth In Its nat
ural courso robbed tho law of Its ful
fillment, will not bo known until a
post mortem examination Is hold.
Tho Indications, howovor, point to
poisoning.
For nbout twenty minutes nftor
Wright had been sontonced, ho talked
with his lawyers about his family af
fairs and tho disposition of his re
maining moneys. Ho frankly ox
pressed his nmnzement nt tho vordlct,
nnd still moro so nt tho sentence.
Suddenly Wright fell backward, as
If he had fainted. Tho ofllccr who
wns wnltlng to tnko him to Brlxon
prison ran to King's Collogo hospital,
which Is nearby, for a doctor. In tho
monnwhllo tho unconscious mnn wns
propped up on two chnlrs. Tho doctor
camo quickly. His first thought wns
that Wright had fallen In an ordinary
apoplectic fit, but It was noticed that
his heart began gradually to glvo out,
nnd before- another doctor could ar
rive, Whltakor Wright, within ono
hour of tho tlmo ho had boon sen
tenced, wns dead.
Without exception, tho London pa
pers express satisfaction with tho snl- I
utary vindication of tho law in tho
caso of Whltakcr Wright, and admit
the Justlco of tho verdict nnd of tho
sentence. Tho Stnndnrd nlono, in nn
editorial, expresses somo surprise- at
tho soverity of tho scntonco, on tho
ground thnt thero was n certain do
greo of extenuation In tho peculiar cir
cumstances which Wright wns placed
under. At thn MijpMjpah .
