ROBINSON DIDN'T DROWN
DETROIT MAN, SUPPOSED TO BE
DEAD, is ARRESTED IN MIN
NEAPOLIS.

John Robinson is under arrest at
the central police station and is held
for Detroit, Mich, officers. He is
wanted on a charge of embezzlement.
Robinson had been in the city but a
few days and was working on morn
ing newspaper as telegraph editor.
The arrest was made by Detectives
HELM and Hansen upon Geographic in
formation from the Detroit authori-
ties.
BY a peculiar coincidence, John
Robinson, a Detroit sporting writer,
disappeared a week or two ago. His
canoe was found stranded near the
st. Clair flats and the impression
gained ground in Detroit that Robin
son had been drowned.
The case against Robinson is based
on a charge of a Detroit jeweler and
involves a diamond ring. The pris-
oner insists that it should be a civil
case. He will not discuss his disap-
pearance.
