Francisco Trial

The house of Edwin II. Frazee at 169
East Twenty-fifth street is at present
the abode of anxiety and anguish. Mr..
Frazee failed to return to his home with
his accustomed regularity on Saturday
evening last and has continued absent
ever since.
1t Is true he had told his wife that he
would be absent during Sunday, that
he took with him his valise and overcoat
| and announced that he was going to
| Thompson" His family know nothing
of such an individual or place. Neither
| Go his business associates, and circum-
stances tend strongly to confirm the be-
| lief that Thompson" is nearly related
| to the "Sairey Camp" family and that
| that tired feeling complained of was
mere evidence of a newer feeling for
| his kind which was focused in lady
| who had resided within three blocks of
| his home.
| Frazee was bookkeeper of the Cres-
cent Coal company and his connection
| Herewith was mutually satisfactory,
| to all appearances. The president of the
| company, Charles A. Mariner has not
! seen him since last Saturday. He then
asked Frazee IL he would go down to
| the office next day, and the bookkeeper
| excused himself on account of feeling so
| poorly, saying that his head panied
| him badly, and avowed that he would
remain at homo Sunday and recuperate.
| Mr.. Mariner is confident that the missing
man has left his accounts with the COM
pany straight. The books were exam
/ ined last week by an expert in antici-
patton of some changes in the company's
| management, and everything was found
| correct. Frazee cashed several checks
on Saturday and $500 cash was in the
| safe untouched when he left.
His employers admire his business
qualifications and everything seems TO
! indicate that he was the possessor of
] what is known as a good, level head,
| thoroughly trustworthy in every re-
spect except the one weak spot, which
leaned towards a Mrs. Agnes Cole, big
| and and dashing blonde, who, up to six
| weeks ago, resided at Twenty-third
and Los Angeles streets. She has work.

seem to have been very well acquainted

Mrs. Frazee was not at home last
| evening when a Herald representative
called. Her sister, Mrs. Woodard, who
resides with her, said that Mrs. Frazee
| was out on a business visit in the city,
but the probabilities are that she was at
| the time in San Francisco or on the road
| headed for that city, for 1t Is known
| that she had satisfactory proof that her
| husband and Mrs. Cole were seen to-
gether boarding a San Francisco train

overwork as an over-weening anxiety to
browse in pastures new and forbidden

| very positive in declaring that Frazee
will return, but is unable to fix upon any
time definitely for his arrival.
