in the superior court yesterday morn
ing that William H. Fry, the former
superintendent of the car construction
in the railroad shops in this city had
recently died in st. Louis, where he
had been in business since he left this
city about a year ago.
The announcement came about by
the calling of the suit of the late Til
ton E. Doolittle against Mr.. Fry. When
Mr.. Fry was in this city he was sued
by Miss Belle Rogers who came on
here from Chicago and claimed that he
had promised to marry her and had
never held to his promise. Miss Rog-
ers obtained judgment of $4,000
against Fry, and his pay was attached
for the Judgment. He was finally land
ed in jail, and to escape took the poor
debtors oath and went away from the

The late State Attorney Doolittle was
Miss Rogers attorney, and he sued
Fry to recover on the Judgment. Since
then Mr.. Doolittle has passed away,
and the suit has been continued by his
executor but now that the other party
to the suit is dead it is a question what
will become of the suit.
