FINANCIER SHOT.

MAN WHO RETURNED TO U.S. TO FACE ACCUSERS.

Mr. Motley H. Flint,

New York, July 14.

# Los Angeles financier, and brother of shot dead to-day in Los Angeles the late Senator F. P. Flint, was

Superior Court by Frank Keaton, a real estate dealer, who, after firing three shots, threw the revolver, at Flint's body and raised his hands in surrender to the court officials.

The tragedy threw the court into an uproar, as the people present shouted and dodged behind furni- ture to escape the bullets.

Judge Colller immediately ad Journed the court.

Flint was shot as he stopped from the witness-stand after giving evid- ence in the Julian Petroleum Cor- poration caso of alleged stock swindling.

Flint, one of the principal figures. in "the case, recently returned from Europe to face accusations resulting from an in- vestigation into the Julian Corpora- tion affairs.

Keaton told the police that he lost money in the Julian Corporation collapse, and therefore shot Flint, adding: "I decided he was respon sible for the whole affair."

Mr. Flint, who was sixty-five years of ago, at one time controlled £60,000,000, of invested capital, somio of it in films.
