Mysterious Death of- a Lawyer.

Chicago telegram: William A. Bishop, a wealthy and prominent young lawyer, with an office In the Borden Block, 59 Randolph stieet, and a home in Waukegan, was found dead on a lonely road three miks from Rochester, N. Y„ with a knife wound in his neck. His jugular vein had been severed. Letters found on the dead man’s person and the fact that his money and jewelry were untouched point strongly to suicide, but his relatives and friends in Waukegan refuse to believe that the young man took his own life.
