Double Tragedy on Belle Isle.

Detroit's famous Belle Isle park was
the scene of double tragedy which
has several mysterious features. 1t
was about a. m. when two men going
fishing crossed one of the bridges over
n canal on the,island. As they glanced
down they saw the body of man
floating in the water. The police were
notified and the body was sent to
Geist's morgue, in Detroit where it was
later Unidentified as that of Bernard
Wetzel, aged As, of $50 Eliot street
His wife died n year ago and since
then Wetzel had been drinking very
hard and had spent all of his money.
About p. IN. the same day two wo-
men sitting on the bank of the canal
near the same bridge observed the body
of woman in the canal. They gave
an alarm and the police soon had the
body on the bank. 1t was that of a
woman aged about so, clad very scant-
lily, without shoes and with shawl
over her head, and she wore a rosary
with two small medals engraved in
French. An autopsy later in the day
showed that the woman was seriously
troubled with heart disease. There
was very little water in her lungs:
The finding of the two bodies so near
the same spot and within a few hours
of each other gave the appearance of a
murder and suicide, or double sui
eide, but there were no marks of vio-
hence ON either body. It's known that
WetzeI had threatened TO suicide and
the most plausible theow seems to be
that wetzel and thA-snknown woman
were at the isAAd 1together when
Wctzel suddenly made up his mind to
end his life. Rushing to the canal he
plunged in, and the woman, being very
excitable. tried to rescue him. but WAS
attacked by her encmy5heart disease
