There wer no children born to the
King and when Mr. King came out of
mourning two year after her husband'
death it was found she had developed an
eccentricity of character bordering on
insanity. She discharged all her ter
vantt, she had th window and door
of her home iron barred, and h it
fused to receive visitor. Sht grew
worst and at tha end of four years.
about 1889 it wa thought best to tend
her" to a sanitarium. At th timt she
wa promised that no one ibould enter
her home until after her death.
When th court appointed a commit
tee for her estate it Wa impoaibl to
find more than 1250,000 ia a bank and
he rtfused to tell what bad become of
the rest. Tbert was then no thought
of searching th house.
Mrs. King died two week ago and by
her will Mr. Squibb wt th executor.
When the legal formalities wer con

bo turned th key ia the rusty lock
and entered the house. The astonishing
