Colorado Springs. 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 ♦

♦
♦
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-

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.

Washington. July 31.— The retfr-

Roberts, has for a number of years
been conducting an Inquiry for the
purpose of verifying the treasury es
itmates of the stock of gold in the
United Stat«« or of tracing errors
therein, and today gave out the fol
lowing summary of his conclusions:
"Summing up the deductions of
335,000,000 prior to 1880, 330,000,-
000 In customs entries, 325.000,000
for the Canadian movement. 325,-
00,000 for Industrial consumption
and 320,000,000 for the unrecorded
exports, a total of 3135.000,000 Is
reached. 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. Bring
ing the calculation down to June 1,
