DETROIT YOUTH IS
DROWNED IN THE
PINE RIVER
ALBERT HENpERsoN's DEATH
NEAR ALMA, MYSTERIOUS
vioLETS HE HAD BEEN GATH.
ERiNG FOUND IN HIS CANOE.
(From a Special corresp ondent.)

ALMA. Mich, May 12.-Just a
little over a year from the day OF
the sad drowning of Miss Grace John.
son, another Alma student has gone
to a watery grave.
Albert Henderson, OF Detroit, living
at 236 Farnsworth-av.. is the victim
Of the Pine river. but his death Is q
mysterious one and how he met IL Is
a puzzle.
At 4:30 yesterday afternoon. young
Henderson took his canoe and cross
ed the river. intending to gather some
vioiets In the woods. He was seen TO
leave the canoe and enter the woods.
Since then, human eyes have not
looked on him. The people who had
noticed him enter the woods, looked
that way an hour later. but he was
nowhere visible. The canoe, how
ever. had drifted across the river.
Alone In the Storm.
A fierce storm was raging and the
victim was alone In the darkness.
His brother Arthur became worried
and search was begun. In the canoe
we're found the violets tied in his
handkerchief. His paddle was gone,
That the canoe had not overturned
is certain, for little water was In 1t
and everything was In order.
The most plausible theory advanc-
ed Is that, In pushing of his canoe.
Henderson lost his balance and IN
falling hit his head, stunning himself.
Searchers Crowd on River.
The river Is crowded with search
ers but owing to the wind and fierce
current. no one knows where to hunt
for him. Graphing hooks have failed
to secure the body. The dam has
been opened. but. owing to last nights
havy rainfall, the water has not yet
lowered,
At a late hour no trace OF young
Henderson could be found There Is
a belief among some men that he has
Just dropped out of sight, but no
possible reason substantiates the
claim.
Henderson was a senior In the pre-
paratory department and was very
popular. All classes have been dis
missed today, because OF the tragedy.
Henderson's parents have been noti-
fed and are expected on the earliest
train.

POLICE THINK GIRL
WAS MURDERED
BY LOVER
BODY FOUND UNDER SHED IDEN.
Titled AS THAT OF kATA OAR
&c, WHO DISAPPEARED IN JAN.
uARY-sUsPEcT MISSING. TOO.

The police are confident that the
body OF the young woman found un-
der shed near Dequindre-st and Har-
per.ave.. on Saturday. is that OF Kata
Daric. a young Polish girl who dis
appeared between Jan. IL and 22, 1908.
Her clothing has been positively iden-
tilted by woman for whom the girl
worked. There seems little doubt
that the woman met with foul play.
but no motive for the crime can be
found.
Precinct Detectives Repp and Red
mond, who have been working on the
case. say the man who is responsible
for her death is George Relitz, aged
10. formerly employed by the Home
Telephone Co. Kata and George be-
came acquainted several months ago,
and II is said the girl was infatuated
with him. The two decided to go into
business together, and Kata drew
from the bank 1920 she had saved,
which with $40 she had In her pocket,
and with $35 the young man supplied,
they bought the boarding house at
| No 457 Farnsworth-st., paying $165
They took possession of the place Jan
10. and ran 1t until Kata's disappear
ance.
The last seen OF the girl by her
friends was when she and George
started out together for walk. He
! returned alone in about an hour, and
to the questioning of the boarders,
stated that Kata had gone away ON q
train.
Relitz sold the boarding house on
Feb. l TO UroZ Adamor for $50, but
when the time came for signing the
papers Adamor refused, saying that
the girl might return and demand pay
for her share of the business.
"Oh. that'l be all right" Relitz is
alleged 10 have said. she will never
return"
Relitg disappeared shortly after the
| girl was last seen. leaving word that
he was going to Hungary, but the po-
| lice do not believe he had money
enough To go that far, and they think
he can be found in Pennsylvania.
A motive for the crime is what puz-
| zles the police. The girl invested all
! her money In the boarding house, SO
robbery could not have figured In the
case. Relitz could have had no de-
signs on the girls honor as they had
been living together for several
weeks. The girl is said to have worn
earrings when she went away, and
these were not found with the body.
They are said to have been OF little
value. and scarcely worth stealing.
The police believe that Kata Daric
was either murdered by George Relitz,
or that she was the victim Of moral
pervert. The shed under which she
was found is used as storage house
| by the Home Telephone Co., for whom
Relitz worked. and he must~.-have
known that body hid under there
would not he found soon.
