Two Mysterious Crimes Shock
Detroit Citizens.
GIRL and MIN ARE slain
Carrie Jennett Killed With Knife; George
HetWOOd Shot NO'COnneCfiOn Be-
tween the Murders.

Two bodies-One a young WON
ans and the other that of mid
dle-aged mantle side by side to-
night IN the same morgue. The
girl was Carrie NJ. Jennett of 1871
Wabash avenue. the daughter of
a well-tO- do cabinet-maker. The
man was George Henry Haywood
an Industrious citizen who acted
as head book keeper in the Office
of the Michigan Malleable Iron
Company.
A music teacher, Professor Jo
seph M. Miller, is under arrest
charged with the murder of Miss
Jennett, and William F. Jones, a
lodger in Mr.. Heywood's home,
is held for the killing of the book
keeper
The police say there is moth
ing to show any connection be-
tween these two murders.
The Jennett CRIME is by far the
most blood-curdling. Miss Jen-
nett was % years of age. Her
father told the police early today
that Miller, who is married man,
aged AZ years, had called on Car
RE so frequently that he, Miller,
had been informed that he was
not welcome. Mr.. Jennett be-
lieved Carrie was infatuated with
the music teacher.
When Miller was arrested and
placed in the 'sweatbox" he was
at first at his ease and answered
questions with apparent straight
forwardness. The denouement
came. however. when he was
asked to remove his outer clothes
He paled perceptibly when he
was taking off his coat; he grew
whittier still as he removed his
waiStcoat.
Pull up your shirt sleeves, "
demanded the chief of police.
With fingers shaking and face
ashen whlteMiller obeyed. Blood.
stains on his undershirt were OBJ
served. Miller fell in a dead
faint. Being revived and arrest
ed for Miss Jennett's murder and
started for a cell, he fell to the
floor a second time in a swoon.
Recovering, and in reply to ques-
tons, he declared he knew moth
ing of the crime. but was home
In the house soon after II. The
murder was committed about IL
o'clock.
What the police regard as
startling evidence against Miller
was found this afternoon when a
bloody towel concealed beneath
the washstand, where Miller must
have washed last night, was dis
covered by the police. A hatch
ct, bloodstained, was found in
the kitchen table drawer.
1t is thought the Ratchet was
used by Miller, as the girls
wounds would indicate this. Her
wounds were: A blow on the
head, which broke her neck; a
blow with an instrument, which
made a hole in the middle OF her
forehead; her throat cut from ear
to ear, evidently a deep cut. In
addition to these wounds was a
frightful one, proving that the
girl had been struck with terrific
force on one side of her face
probably after the first blow on
the brow was delivered--the
cheekbone being broken.
Miss Jennett would have been
a mother in few months. This
is given by the police as adequate
motive for the crime. Miller re-
gained his equilibrium quickly.
and was sleeping soundly in the
GRIND avenue station tonight.
He was shown the blood stained
Ratchet, but disclosed no trace of
nervousness.
Haywood was shot, it is be-
lieved. at close range, the bullet
entering the brain slightly above
the left eye He was found with
in a hundred yards of his we'll

Mrs. Haywood was much con-
cerned because her husband did
not return from a dance which he
