July 31. ♦ —Coroner Richardson stat­ ♦ ed today that he believed Miss ♦ Matthews killed herself be- ♦ cause of unrequlted love on ♦ the part of C A. Coey, of ♦ Chicago, a millionaire, and ♦ that Dr. Rumbaugh, because ♦ of infatuation for the girl, ♦ combined with recent over-in­ ♦ dulgence in kquor, followed ♦ her example. ♦ ♦ Colorado Springs. July 31.—The coroner’s inquest, which adjourned when the news of the shooting of Rumbaugh was received yesterday, re-convened today. Miss Green, a nurse, was the first witness. She tes- tifned that Coey, a Chicago automo- bl!' dealer, telegraphed her several times since Miss Matthews killed her­ self. One message read: "Will meet you at the train. For­ ward letters. Keep your own coun­ sel.” Miss Green also testified that Rum­ baugh was infatuated with the girl: that Rumbaugh told her after the girl disclosed her relations with Co­ ey that she attempted to shoot her­ self and that Rumbaugh wrestled wiht her and took the revolver from her; that Rumbaugh said he and Miss Matthews intended to be mar- rled at once and when told of the girl's suicide was much agitated and threatened to take revenge on Coey. Miss Green identified a large bun­ dle of letters from Coey to the girl, which, though not made public, are said to be very affectionnte in tone and indicate that Coey and the girl were very lutlmate. The coroner, when asked, said the letters did not reflect seriously on Coey’« character. C. L. Kingsbury, a bell boy at the Acacla hotel, testified that he over- STARTS OF SURVEYORS FOR SII SLAW LINE heard a conversation between Miss Matthews and an unknown man, in which the expression "kill you from ambush” was used by the man. Broken Suicide Pact Suapected. The belief is gaining ground here that there was another death pact, In which the girl alone kept faith, or that she was done to death. How she was lured to the mountain and how she met death promise to prove an engrossing mystery that will cre­ ate a tremendous sensation In at least three big Eastern cities, if it Is ever explained. Miss Matthews was a beautiful young actress, who came here recent­ ly from Chicago, and yesterday her body was found on a lonely moun­ tain side near this city. Suspicious circumstance Is the fact that the nurse sent out, or had pre­ pared in advance of the finding of Miss Matthews’ body, notices to her friends that she had committed sui­ cide. She explained this today by the statement that she knew the girl was riding to her death when she left the hotel. Another point which the authorities deem suspicious is that there were no powder marks on the girl's temple. Had she fired the shot herself it is almost certain these would have shown.

This sum taken from the amount in othes banks, and in circu­ lation on June 30, 1900, would leave that estimate at 3225,793,3X4.
