seen Mrs. Sechrest at or near the riv-
err and no trace of the body has been
found.

came to Leavenworth with Mrs. Sech-
rest, did not report the matter to the

been found along the river bank, and
the place where the suicide is sup
posed to have jumped into the river
is near a switch shanty, where rail-
way employees are throughout the
night. The hat and note were found
by a brakeman on a midnight freight
train who got off to cut out some
cars. The clothes mentioned in the
note could not have been found.
