But Death of Louisville, Ky., Man Looks Like Suicide.
Louisville, Ky., Dec. 19.--It has developed that R. C. Whayne, a Louisville business man, who was found dead Wednesday night in the vicinity of Jacob park with a gunshot wound in his breast, carried insurance on his life of $340,000 and had applications pending for $50,000 more. It was upon the fact that Mr. Whayne carried such a large life insurance and was said to be suffering from rheumatism, that a theory of suicide is based. Near Mr. Whayne's body, but on the opposite side of a wire fence, was a shotgun with one barrel empty and the other loaded and cocked. His friends and family declare that death was due to an accident, and that the gun was discharged while he was climbing through the fence.
