Indianapolis, July 20.-An important
Photographic addition to the evidence
that is being collected TO prove that
Frank r. Adams. whose wife commit
ted suicide at the Pasadena flats in
this city recently. 10 the same Adams
that has another wife In Delaware. O.,
was found today. Striking points of
similarity between two photographs Of
the Delaware and the Indianapolis Ad-
AIMS tell the story. The pictures were
taken more than ten years apart. but
the features of both are much alike.
The Delaware picture was taken prior
to 1895. The Indianapolis picture was
taken three or four years ago. The
Delaware picture shows the Delaware
Adams to have had a musta 1le. The
Indianapolis Adams 10 without that
adornment, but friends of the Indiana
polls Adams say he had q habit Of
growing a mustache and suddenly dis
carding 1t.

OF the Mrs. Adams who committed

Adams was q frequent visitor to the
Wright home for several years. both
before and after his marriage TO Eliza,

He used to come to our house with
Lizzie (Mrs. Adams. the suicide) and
they seemed very devoted" said Mr.
Wright. She was one Of the prettiest
Vomen l ever saw and attracted 1t
tention. Adams seemed very devoted
and lavished money on her. We n
ways wondered where he got 50 much
money, for he never seemed to be
working very hard at any particular
thing"
He used to buv Lizzie handsome
presents" added Mrs. Wright I'VE
often remarked on that He once
bought her q sealskin coat that cost
him $500. Lizzie used to laugh and
say that all she had to do was to ash
for think and she got 1t. Once she
passed jewelry store window and
saw a beautiful necklace in 1t. He ask
ed her II she liked 1t and she, OF
course. answered that she did. He
went right in and bought 1t. But she
never seemed to be particularly hap
py. for she told Us once that she wish
ed she was back as a waitress in the
hotel and owned only q couple Of
white waists and black skirt. As II
was she had all the clothes and lux
uries . woman could hope for. But
We never could understand where h<
