 By His Son.

by Ills son.
 Detroit. Mich, April 1O-While the police were bending all efforts early to-day toward running down the slay- CT of Miss Jennett, whose mutilated body was found on Thirteenth street last midnight, second brutal murder was discovered
 The body of George Henry Haywood was found lying ill a pool of blood On the sidewalk on Amherst street. a half Dlock west of Junction avenue, at 5:3O this morning, deep gash over the left eye, from which the brains oozed, tell ing the cause of death.

His wife had intended to ac- company him, but was i'll and. gave it up It is not known what time he started for home, but. he was found within 100 yards of his own nrettv house, and evidently had been dead some hours.
 As her husband did not return dur- Ing One night, Mrs Haywood was very much alarmed, and arising early she sent her oldest boy, Earle, aged F, out to see if he could find any trace of his father. The child had gone but q short distance from the house when he discovered the lifeless remains of the parent The police were summoned and the body was removed to the morgue and placed beside the remains of Miss Jennett. who also had been murdered but a few hours previous
 An examination of Heywood's body and clothes showed that robbery was not the motive. There was but one wound, evidently made with a heavy blunt instrument, as it penetrated the skull and left an ugly cut. Detectives were immediately put to work on the case and they arrested William F.. Jones, roomer in Heywood's house. The two men are said to have quar- reled frequently About seventy-five feet from where the body was found a revolver lay ill the alley. The little Haywood boy identified it as belonging to Jones and said he had seen it in his room. Whether it could have caused the wound is the question which the police will fathom. At the station Jones was examined as to his relations with the Haywood family. He said his home is in Lincoln, Neb, where he has a wife and three children.
 He said he first became acquainted with the Haywood family about five one day to mend gasolene stove for them. He has been boarding there since last February.

 Mrs Henry Knapp, Who Bought
 Goods From Leon Theriault, Found
 Suffering From Smallpox Yesterday
 -Quarantined Parties on Farm
 Street Were Released To-Day.
 Smallpox won it's second victory this morning au o'clock when James Dun ham succumbed to the malady. The victim was 36 years old and belonged ill Falls Village, Mass, where his fath- CT, brother and sisters reside. He had been stopping ill Waterbury but d short time when he was stricken wltn the disease and it is a question if he did not have it when he came here. Anyway, he was taken sick on Bene- dict street last week and told someone that he had smallpox. Word was sent to Health Officer Kilmartin, who examined the patient, saw that he had the disease and had him removed to the isolation hospital.
 The doctor left the hospital at 2 o'clock this morning. At that time Durham was resting comfortably. A couple of hours later the doctor was notified that Durham had taken a bad spell and was dying.
 At an early hour this morning the authorities were hustling around mall- ing preparations to bury the body. There is S25 in the job and Health Of ficer kilmartin was very anxious to have some competent person take hold of it at that price. but he got the cold shoulder every place he called so that i'll all probability ha will have to do it himself and then let the board of fi- nance squint at the bill the same as they did at a similar sum presented to the board by the health officer for burying John Coffey, the other small pox victim, who died at the hospital and whose remains were inferred in Calyary cemetery. It is understood that Dunham's body will be buried in the town cemetery on Riverside street tonight It was said here to-day that there is no Falls Village in Vermont. but that is the address Durham gave 1 the health officer and also informed him that his father, two sisters and two brothers live there.
 Health Officer Kilmartin said this afternoon that the Trepanier baby is in bad shape and that it is doubtful if it will live through the sickness.
 Another case of smallpox has been discovered on Ward street. The vic tim is Mrs Henry Knapp. Just how she contracted the disease is not known, but it is supposed that the germs entered the house through her grocer's clerk. Leon Theriault. who is l now at the isolation hospital The place was quarantined last night. The quarantined parties on Farm street were liberated to-day.
