Henry W. Goodrich Comes
From Michigan to Join
the Missing Wom-
an.
HAD NOT SEEN HER FOR YEARS
But He Was Anxious for a
Reunion Though Unable
to Offer the Glad
Hand.

Henry W. Goodrich, of Reed City,
Michigan, minus both arms below the
elbows, arrived East few days ago in
response TO an invitation from his wife,
with whom he had not lived for year.
The letter from his wife stated that by
the time of his arrival she would be
found in Jersey City.
Yesterday he called upon Chief of
Police Murphy and asked him to assist
in locating her. He said he had cor
responded reguiqrly With her up to four
weeks ago, and always addressed his let
1ers TO No. 220 Lexington avenue, New
York. in care of Mrs. Chapman Mr..
Goodrich said he went to New York first
to make inquiries at No. 220 Lexington
avenue and found there was no such
address. He found No. PA and 21s, but
there was no No 220
He said he had lost the last letter his
wife had sent him. 1t contained the adj
dress at which she could be found in
/. Jersey City. He said when he read the
letter, which was opened in the Reed
City. Mich, post Office, he was delighted
to think that he was about to be re-
united with his wife. He went home
and read the letter again, and after it
had been deposited upon a table he left
the room and was gone for some time.
When he returned the letter had in some
manner mysteriously disappeared.
Nothing undaunted, however he board
ed train, resolving to hunt up Mrs.
Chapman in New York. He reached
Lexington avenue. but was not able to
find the address of Mrs. Chapman, al
though he enlisted the services of the
postman and the policeman who covered
the route upon which No. 220 Lexington
avenue was supposed to be located.
Neither had heard of Mrs. Chapman.
Mr. Goodrich says that in the letter
sent him by his wife telling him to come
East she said that she had secured
good position in Jersey Citysein which
she had to care forstwo children and
said she would be able to help care for
him. He has supported himself in a
measure since he lost his two arms. One
of these, he said, was lost in a railroad
accident shortly after his marriage.
The other, he says, was lost eight
years later in a log jam.
He said he was sure that within ten
minutes after his wife read the story
of his arrival in Jersey City she would
be on her way to Police Headquarters
in search of him, and that he would, drop
in occasionally until she calls there.
