SUSPECTED or DOUBLE MURDER

J. Cleveland Gricc, son of Peter
Grice, a wcll-to-do farmer, OF Sharps-
burg, Nd, and member Of the
senior class of Mllcrsvillc Normal
School, was arrested Sunday night at
Lancaster, Pa, on suspicion Of having
murdered his wife and 2-wceks-old
baby.
Grice is %, and his wife, who was
Miss Ella dorsey, also Of Sharpsburg,
is % years Of age During his resi-
dcncc ut Sharpsburg he was steady
youth, very stutlious. and a person OF
good habits. During the Christmas
holidays he married Mis-: Ella Dorsey,
the pretty young daughter of Charles
Dorsey. In January the couple went
to Lancaster to reside.
The first intimation that Sharpsburg
relatives had of the trouble was last
Thursday, when the chief Of police OF
Lancaster tclcgraphcd to Constable
William Marker, at Sharpsburg, asking
if Gricc's wife and child were with her
relatives. The young wifc's parents
replied that they had no idea where
their daughter and her baby is.
The pair had been boarding in Ian
caster, and last Thursday evening Grice
hired a carriage stating he was going 10
take his wife to the railway station to
send her to her home.
The last seen OF the woman and baby
was when they entered a carriage. a
storm was raging at the time, and
neighbors cxpostulated against Grice
taking the woman out in such weather.
He replied that what he did was none Of
their business. His actions aroused sus-
picion and the police were notified.
An Investigation disclosed that the
woman did not arrive at her home.
The police found that no Que answer
ing her description got on the train,
and no tickets were sold that night to
HagcrStown or Antictam, the points
from Which she could reach her home.
Gricc is rcticcnt, and all the police can
get out of him is that he put his wife
and child on the train and sent them
home. The police assert they have
some strong circumstantial evidence
which they refuse to disclose 1T the
present time.
