William Allen, for several years
superintendent of the Manchester
Almshouse and of Maury Cemetery,
has been missing from his home since
Monday. and according to information
received at the home. his family are
ignorant of his whereabouts.
The regular meeting of the Cemetery
Committee was had yesterday after
noon at $3.50 O'Clock in the office of the
superintcndent. and it was noted that
The Superintendent, who is the clerk
OF that committee, was not present.
His wife stated that she did not know
where he was, but expected that he
would be there for the meeting. His
resignation as superintendent Of Maury
Cemetery was found in the ledger, and
this was dated Monday, April 29th.
Mr. Allen was suspended. as superin-
,endent OF the Almshouse on MONDAY
last pending the investigator of al
fairs at that institution He, however,
rendered his resignation as superin-
tendent of the Almshouse some days
before that.
Friends Are Uneasy.
While there is nothing to indicate
positively that Mr.. Allen has commit
ted any rash act, his friends are fear
full that the investigation and its re-
suits have so preyed upon his mind
that he has been driven to desperation
and has resorted to some means to 10
away with himself; while others think
he has simply left the city to remain
for some time, in order that he might
be away from all of the talk which Is
going around concerning the investi.
