cured evldenco of ono of tho most sensa

Mrs. Myrtlo Wright of Chicago and W. It.
Neff nro undor detention at tho samo place,
being held to nppear at tho coroner's In
quest, suspected of Barber's murder.
Hurd declares his Investigations warrant
tho belief that Barbbr got his policy with
tbo Intention of defrauding tho company
and that tho woman and Ncff wero In tho
scheme. Barber's death was not to bo a
reality, ho says, but Noff nnd tho woman
changed tho plan without Barber's knowl
edgo nnd deliberately poisoned him. Ho
died In convulsions In a hotel ofllco at
Pagosa shortly after Ncff had left him.
Tho policy has boen mado payable to Mrs.
Wright, who was nllegod to bo Barber's
affianced wife, and tho night of his death
she notified tho Sioux City Insurance com
pany of his death. Tho Investigation which
followed unearthed somo startling facts.
Mr. Hurd Bays that at tho conclusion of
tho coroner's Inquest a verdict unques
tionably will bo returned charging Neff nnd
Mrs. Wright with murder and that their
trial will bring out ono of tho most sensa
tional Insuranco fraud cases ever tried in
this country. Barber, It Is told, met Mrs.
Wright in Chicago last summer and took
hor to Webster City and then to Denver,
