J. R. MORRIS REPORTS AT I

HIsNPosT. a
WIFE FINDS NOTE OF FARE
WELL AND MISSES HIS
TRUNK.

After reorting at 1 o'clock Sum
day morning, PatSolman ]. r. Nor

beat at night, left note to his wife
and disappeared. Che big policeman
reported at the police station at L
o'clock Sunday morning from Fifth
street and Broadway AMI IL is sup
posed that he left the city on the
1880 train Sunday morning, going
toward Louisville.
The patrolman's wife, who lives In
Mechanicsburg, went to the police
station Sunday morning with the let
ter left by her husband and read it
to Captain Harlan. With the letter
the officer left a $40 bill. In the
letter Patrolman Morris saiu that he
could not get along in Paducah and
couldn't live with his wife any long
er. He told his wife to go to the
city hall and draw what money was
coming to him, which is about $50.

Patrolman Morris went on duty

Bailey that his wife was sick and
that he probably would take his
vacation next week. The officer
was called home several times last
week on account of illness of his
wife.
A large trunk, belonging to the
policeman. is gone from his home.
II was taken at some time when Mrs.
Morris was not at home; for she
knew nothing about 1t until Sunday
morning.
Mrs. Morris said at the city hall
yesterday morning that she could not
think of any reason why her hus-
bard would leave in such way. She
said they had no difficulties.
Chief Collins received a letter to-
day from Morris. II was dated at
Paducah, July 4; but throws little
light on the mystery. Chief Collins
says Morris had not been the same
man he formerly was. since his only
child. a nine-year-old girl, died a
few months ago. She is a child by
a former wife, and the patrolman
was devoted TO her. He was ac-
counted an excellent officer.
