death came from natural causcs.
In connection with the Spicer case, SUI
perintendent Soulc of the detective agen-
cy relates strange story.
Miss Spicer. it has been learned, was
not only a friend Of +. Wayland Brown,
but was also an intimate acquaintance
Of Miss Dcfenhach The two young wO-
men were both about the same height
and weight, and their features were so
similar that when the photograph of Miss
Defenbach was shown people who had
been acquainted with Miss Spicer they
were for time inclined to believe the
picture that of the latter young woman.
This likeness between the two young
women is believed to have been made
use of in getting life insurance upon
Miss Spicer as it is believed the young
women many times exchanged names in
joking manner, each passing herself
off to be the other. Whether this insur-
ance has been issued will be inyesti-
gated

ago from Albert Lea, Mimi Miss Ethel
