Miss Ziegler and himself and that his friends had placed the pistol in Miss Ziegler’s lifeless hand\ to shield Burnham, in case he should recover. Burnham died this morn- Hug- I The report of police investigators in closing the ease this morning was that Miss Ziegler, who lmd known Burnham for 10 years, and had been exceptionally friendly with him dur ing that period, recently learned that he was married and therefore could j not marry her: and that she visited his oltice with the intention of killing him and herself if he did not consent to get a divorce and marry her.

We were always able to reach him out of office hours by tele phoning at the Ardsley club or tlie. Engineers’ club jyid he was always at liberty to join us at dinner, or a card party or a theater party. It j never occurred to any of us that a married mpn could have so much jtinio on his hands. “My sister Ilelcno was never Burn ham's sweetheart. He was no friend lier with her tlmi with any other •meinbpr of the family, though lie often jsaid in front of all of us that Helene, i was t in* girl lie wanted to marry."
