Mrs. MARSHALL said her husband had not gone ot his offices at 37 East Ohio street in the morning, telling her he feld bad and requesting that she notify the office. Mr. MARSHALL had frequently complained recently, and his wife gave the matter no special thought, as he often remained at home in the mornings.

C. J. METZ, his business assistant, was shocked when informed of the death. MARSHALL's accounts were examined and found to be in excellent condition. Under Mr. MARSHALL's management business had greatly prospered, Mr. METZ said.
