of Harold Thomas.

youth. whose mad infatuation 70,
Bertha Cooper, seven years his senior
led him to first attempt her life and
then a few weeks later, his own. Is
now at the county Jail and probably

declared insane several weeks ago
An effort was made to have him re
moved to the hospital for the opera
tion, which though not regarded al
serious, the attending physician
thought should be held there in pre-
ference to the Jail.
However, the Wayne county authori
ties declared against this, fearing tha,
at the hospital where he could not be
safely locked up nor watched all the
time, he would again escape. The boy
is a fiend for tobacco. This has been
denied him in all forms, prisoners a,
the Jail being warned that to give him
any would mean solitary confinemen,
for them. 1t is said that while at the
hospital an attempt was made to snug
gle cigarets to him. for which it is
said he has an abnormal craving.
When Thomas went to work at the
Richmond Underwear company, he
was regarded as one of the brightes,
and most apt apprentices. However
his infatuation for Miss Cooper, a gir
of exemplary character, who is an in
structor, led to his transfer from one
department to another until he finally
quit. One night some time ago hi
