Wednesday evening they dined together at the Astor house and spent the rest of the week In enjoying themselves. On Saturday evening In company with Mr and Mrs Schwencke they dined at the cafe Dcs Beaux Arts in Brooklyn.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec 11 T. Otway Sadlier, manager of the west end branch of the California safe deposit and trust company, committed suicide in the oiiice of the branch bank, by blowing off the top of his head with a sawed-off ohotgxin. Ills body was found today by a watchman. He was a close friend of J. Da'-zell Brown, vice president and manager of the California safe deposit and trust company, who is in prison accused of embezzling funds of the bank.

It is believed several of the bank officers were led to take steps that huve practically wrecked the bank by advice of women spiritualistic mediums whom they consulted In regard to making investments. The advice of one medium resulting In the purchase of railroad terminals In San Francisco and Oakland, 6old later to George Gould at a profit of $6,000,000, Is said to have converted these staid men of business to spiritualistic beliefs, and it is related that they were regular clients of various clairvoyants, who held special seances for them whenever the bank desired to make investments and delivered the advice of departed spirits. No examination haB been made of Sadller's accounts, but it Is known that he was heavily Involved personally in the failure. Since it was known that the bank could not survive he had been greatly depressed. So far as the Investigation of the de- fijsltors' association hud gone, nothing miiroper had been discovered In Sadller's direction of the affairs of the branch bank, and no charges had been made against him.

Brown said that it was not personal loss or any act as an employe of the bank that caused Sndlb-r to commit suicide. Sadlier was Brown's most In-titnate friend for many years. He, called on Brown last night and. be-eause of his failure to procure bonds for Brown, was much depressed. lb-had promised Browns Invalid wife that he would take Brown home last nlerht.
