Planned Disappearance.

No further investigation will be
made by the Detroit police in the case
of Frank s. Curtis, the mechanical
engineer who disappeared from the
Wayne hotel April 27 last. Capt Nc
Donnell has received a letter from
New York from a man closely con-
nected with the Curtis family, and this
man says that Curtis family is con-
vinced that he is alive and well, that
he diappeared OF his own volition, and
that the the disappearance was prob
ably planned by him before he left
New York on his trip west
81 was convinced right along that
Curtis was alive and WELL" declared
Capt. Mcdonnell. The fact that he
wrote so many letters before dropping
out of sight aroused my suspicious,
and the more we investigated the
more convinced l became that there
was something behind the whole mat
ter and that Curtis had planned his
disappearance"

GRAY TOOK FATAL DOSE
OF PARIS GREEN.
l WISH HAD KILLED HIM
The Oldest Resident of Dearborn Ends
1t All Representative Schantz's
Vindictlve AssaIIant.

Uncle Billy" Gray, SO years old, a
resident of Dearborn, decided Satur-
day that there was nothing more TO
live for, so secured a tin dipper, one
quart capacity, poured in a large
amount of paris green, and going to
the we'll, nearly filled it with water.
He then drank the mixture and calm
ly lay down to die.
Mrs. Gray, who is about so, discov-
cred her husband and called a doc
tor. The latter applied emetics.
Uncle Billy" seemed TO rally during
the afternoon, but at 10 o'clock D. m.
sank suddenly and expired.
Gray had lived in the village so
long that even the oldest resident can
not remember when he came to the
town, and he always claimed to have
arrived in Dearborn long before any
OF them. He was native of England,
and a pensioner of the British gov
eminent, having been injured on a
warship. For years he was famil-
lar figure on the streets, until about
year ago, walking in every day
from his little farm on the outskirts
of the village. He owned a place
worth, perhaps, $4,000.
Lately he had come to Dearborn
with horse and wagon. On account
of his age, it was impossible for him
to climb into the wagon unassisted,
and a short ladder was always carried
in the rig
The aged wife says that she does
not know what will become OF her.
She does not know of any living rel
atives, she says.

This remark, made by James Dug
gan on his way back TO jail after
being sentenced to life Imprisonment
for assault on Representative w. II.
Schantz at Lansing, would indicate
that there was some motive which
has not been disclosed for Duggans
peculiar assault, though Duggan on
the trial insisted to the contrary, say
ing that he did not know why he at
tackled Schantz.
The case was given to the jury
after the dinner hour Saturday. and
after fifteen minutes deliberation the
jury came in with a verdict of guilty
Of assault with intent to murder
Judge West Immediately called Dug
gan 10 the bar and sentenced him to
imprisonment for life at Marquette.
Duggan asked to be sent to Jackson,
but the Judge told him he thought
Marquette was a better place for him.
