POLICE UNFOLDING
MURDER MYSTERY
One Arrest in Connection With
Death Of Maybe||e MI||man.

Detroit, Sept. 1!-Dr. George A.
Fritch is the only person under arrest
so far in connection with the death of
Maybelle Millman of Ann Arbor,
whose mutilated body was found in a
creek near this city. DR.. Fritch is
alleged to have performed a criminal
operation on the girl and the police
are looking for the man responsible
for her condition and who furnished
her the money to come to this city.
The police obtained the information
upon which DR.. Fritch was appre-
hended from Miss Martha Henning,
Miss Millman's chum and constant
companion, who was brought here
from Ann Arbor. The young woman
admitted after a vigorous questioning
that her previous statements concern
ing Maybelle Millman's disappearance
had been untrue. She it was who sug-
gested that Maybelle consult DR..
Fritch and she went with Maybelle to
DR.. Fritch's Office after talking to him
over the telephone. Miss Henning, it
is asserted, left Miss Millman in the
doctors Office and never saw her
again. Several days later, worried be-
cause she had heard nothing from
Maybelle, Miss Henning inquired for
her at Dr. Fritchs office, but could
learn nothing of her whereabouts.

for horse stealing for which he was

Martin was acquitted of the
charge, in fact when he pleaded not
guilty the case was dismissed by
the county attorney of Douglass
county and he was set at liberty,
last Tuesday.
Considerable publicity was given
to the fact that Martin had been ar.

there was apparently no ground for
his arrest, Mr.. Martin deman is that
