Bayou Friday at noon, according 10
all information the detectives at
work on the case have been able to
ascertain.
These words were spoken by Love
as he babe farewell to Fl. (Buck)
Wells. a switchman and former
friend, when he told him he was go
ing home as the two men stood on
the corner of Travis street ana
Thursday night. From this time on
the police can find no trace of Love.
His body was found floating in
the waters of the bayou at noon the
following day. Neither his relatives
nor the police believe that he met
his death by suicide or accidental
drowning. All evidence that has been
secured in the case does not lead to
either of these theories
When Mr.. Wells, reputable citi-
zen of Fort Worth and one Of the
most widely known railroad switch
men in this state, left Love the lat
ter was waiting for street car t.
take him to his home in Houston
Heights. Mr.. Wells went on to his
room and did not know of the death
Of Love until he read an account of
the finding OF the body. He missed
the man Friday but did not pay any
attention to the occurrence, he says.
Love had promised to meet him at
Main and Franklin street Friday af-
ternoon at 4 O'Clock.
Notwithstanding there was not a
bruise or mark on the body of Love
to show that he was murdered and
thrown into the bayou, relatives of
the dead man and detectives at work
on the case still cling to the belief
that he met with foul play. ...

immediate need of money and that

visit friends on Williams street in
between G and $50 o'clock in the
