WHITAKKU WlllOHT SUICIDES
London, Jan. 26.—The trial of
Whitaker Wright, the company
promoter, charged with fraud,end
ed in tragedy. Wright was found
guilty on all counts and sentenced
to seven years penal servitude.
Within an hour of being found
guilty, the financier whose colossal
dealings have created a sensation
on both sides of the Atlantic, lay
dead in an ante-room :>f the court,
thus escaping the jailers waiting
outside to take him to prison.
— Arranging for the future of his
wife and family, he suddenly tell
and expired without another word.
- Whether death be due to heart dis- i
ease following the excitement of
the trial, or to poison, as grimly
hinted by friends, will possibly not
be ascertained until the coroner’s
verdict is heard.
