Later developments tend to show
that the body found in the woods near
Royal Oak is that of Mrs. Christopher
Huss and that she was last seen Ill
the company of Henry Wiseman, VINO
is now an inmate of the State Prison.
While the evidence is circumstantla,
1t seems very strong against him. MIS-;
Huss at the time wore tan shoes ana
Mrs. Frank Marvin, of Wayne, says
that Mrs. Wiseman had no shoes, but
lust before she moved from Royal
Oak she found pair of tan shoes III
the house which her husband said be-
longed to Ida Williams and requested
that they be put away. The tan shoes
were the same size as worn by MIS-
Huss. MY daughter, said Mrs Marvin
was very easily Influenced by Wise
man, and she did as she was request
ed. Ida Williams was a woman that
had been living in the house with my
daughter My daughter needed the
shoes badly and she wore them for a
long time afterwards. Ida Williams
moved away at that time to Pennsyl-
vania.
Two weeks after the disappearance
of Mrs. Huss. and after Wiseman had
shown Mrs. Huss where she could Duy
some wood. Wiseman was WORKING
with his fatherin-law in IA sawmlll at
Grass Lake. One day Wiseman SUD
denly announced that he had had
gold ring stolen from him. Later he
said perhaps he had lost 1t. and n
search was made by several of the
men, who found the ring and gave 1t
back TO Wiseman.
"Why. it's woman's gold ring,
exclaimed Frank Marvin, Wiseman
father-in-law. Where did you get
it?"
Il found it." replied Wiscman hesi-
tatingly; Il found it on the western
boulevard in Detroit. Two weeks ago,
when l rode over from Royal Oak to
Wayne, / got off my wheel and picked
up this ring on the road"
When Marvin was told that Wise
man had denied accompanying Mrs.
Huss to the woods. where the body
was recently found. he reiterated his
statement that Wiseman did so. MY
object in going to see my sOn-in-law
was to get him to go to work with me
i'm n sawmill," said Marvin. Il had
broached the subject 70 him when the
woman came along. They went away
Il.
Birmingham car. which | was anxious
to take to get back home, came along.
| let it pass without me. When the
next car came along and Wiseman
had not returned. | got Oh it and did
not see him again until day or two
afterwards
Marvin also said that in discussing
the incident of Mrs. Huss' disappear
ance later, when the papers were
printing long stories about the case,
he remarked to his wife: IF anything
has happened to that woman
wouldn't be in Henry Wiseman's shoes
for Il good deal. after having been
seen going into the woods with her
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Marvin continue
| to assert that Wiseman told them that
| Mrs. Huss talked about the beauty OF
! the woods. it's suitability for picnics
and about her troubles with her hus
| band. And this in spite of Wiseman'S
denial that he went into the woOdS
| with the woman or that he talked will
| her any more than merely to direct
| her.
| Mrs. Edward Tremper who now
| lives about two miles south of ROya
| Oak. remembers Mrs. HuSs distinctly
as she was n neighbor of the Hus'
woman in Royal Oak year ago.
| Il remember that she wore one golC
ring. 1t had no stone in it, but had ;
lot of little square marks on it," sh'
said. "She used to wear that rims
| all the time. but whenever she wa'
going to wash dishes she would re
move it," When the ring was showI
Mrs. Tremper she exclaimed: "That i
| just like it. 1t had little square
marks on it Just like that. l feel tina
could swear on the witness stanC
that that ring is the same ring Mrs
Huss wore" Mrs Tremper also said
"She used to wear on the ribboI
around her neck safety pin witt
several little red beads on it. / re
member them very distinctly becaus
it seemed such a funny way to max
clasp pin just to take Il safety pil
and put the beads on It," EXactl
such pin was found on the body.
