she states that the well Is now making
a continuous flow, and has Increased Its
hourly production to twenty-five barrels

from the well, from dlslnterested per-

ty-two barrels an hour. Tankage has
now been erected, and the oil IS not run

William Duff was on n train going to
Detroit at that time. and saw the young
woman leave the train with two men,
He heard stilled scream and few
moments later splash. Later the body
OF the girl was found In the water. Duff
positively identified James Stull, who
was convicted for burglary few weeks
