Denver Is making tha aame offer of tlOO.000

BANKER SHOOTS OFF HEAD
Tragedy Follows ' Collapse of Cali
fornia Trust Company.
T. 0. SADLEEE BECOMES .VICTIM
Manager of the ' West Gael Branca
at Ban Francisco FoanI Dead in
... His Office Deed Is De
liberately rUaaed. ..
BAN FRANCISCO. Cal.. Dee. lli:-Bloodv
tragedy has developed from the 'crash 'of
the CallforhiaTSafe De1pos1rUn4lirust ctffrt-pany.-
Tt -tHway Sadder; manager if the
'west end ' branch ot the defunct1 Institution-at
1531 Devfsadero street, blew out his
brains last-eight while locked In his office.
No explanation has yet been' -made of
Badleir's accounts, but it Is known that ha
Was heavily Involved personally In the
failure. Ever since It was known that the
bank could not survive he has been greatly
depressed.
Badleir's method of suicide was most
gruesome. He made preparations deliber
ately and used a shotgun which Is kept
in the bank for protection against robbers.
Both barrels of this weapon, loaded with
buckshot, were discharged and the whole
top of the suicide's head was blown away.
Special Policeman Pierce, according to his
custom, made a thorough examination of
the premises but a few minutes before S
o'clock, looking through a window he Saw
the body of the manager sprawled on ths
floor in a pool of blood and brains.
The victim was so badly mangled that he
could scarcely be identified even from the
lower part of the face. Ths body was
taken to the morgue.
Badlelr was a single man, 'aged 0 years.
He was one of J. Dalzell Brown's most
confidential employes and had full execu
tive authority of the west end, of which
he was made manager some time ago.
When Brown wss. arrested Badlelr was
present and tried vainly to prevent the
police from taking his superior to prlsbn.
So far in the investigation of the de
positors' association nothing improper baa
been found Ift Badleir's direction of the
bank's sffairs' in .the western addition and
no charges have been made against him.
When J. Dalzell Brown, who Is still in
7 the city prison, was informed that Sadlelr
4iad. committed suicide he threw ud his
hands and exclaimed:
"My God! How did he do itt. Did he
shoot himself t"
On bsMng told that his surmise was cor
rect. Brown said: ,. ,
"I was afraid of that." . -
