deed was committed In WashIngton
and not In Phlladolphln , the cIrcumstances -

hours. The bellof was general that
ho had heen murdered br : agents at
the 1\101110 Magulres , In revenge for
the active part ho took In suppressIng
that band of thugl ! .
The fact that Gowen had taken his
own life was eslabllshed the next da ) ' ,
and then began an Investigation as to
the possible cause. The moral chal'Uc-
tel' or the great law'er was above re-
proach. Ills lIfo had been slngularl ) '
clean , and his reputation never had
llOon tarnIshed hy ven as much as the
breath of scandal. Ho died without
havIng mndo a will and when an appraisal -

found that ho had loft but $4l O,000 In

whIch In his lIfetlmo was estimated to

them. lIe was a thlet and a forger.
but this discovery was not made until
after hIs death. In hIs lifetime Gaskill
enjoyed the respect and esteem of

tion for probity was of the best , and
hIs credit was gllt.edged. After hIs
