EDWARD R|sO0N
KILLS HIMSELF
Body With Bullet Hole in Breast
Found in Lonely Spot in
Highland Park.

Edward Risdon. about 40 years old

"a Alfred-st., shot himself through
the breast, in lonely spot in High
land Park. some time Monday night
His dead body was found in {
ditch near Oakland-ave and the Six
Mile-rd.. early Tuesday morning.
The following verses, clipped frou
a Detroit newspaper, were found II
his pocket and probably explain the
motive for his suicide:
Two thieves OF smallish stature
Did fare abroad one hour.
With nothing in their nature
To show their hidden power
The FIRST ones name was Worry.
A peevish little mite;
The other was called Hurry.
Whose mind was all Alright
They met a man upon the road
And Worry weighed him down.,
While Hurry piled him Win scad
And hurried him TO town.
And what he could do, that he shirks.
For Worry chains his hand:
And what he does Is spoiled oy Jerks
When Hurry waves his wand
For Hurry made him Worry.
And WOrry maue MIN f1hsle.
And all he got for all his haste
Was Pains and Fears and Waste,
County Undertaken Van Leberghe
brought the body TO Wayne county
morgue he went to notify the rel
atives on Alfred-st. and was CURLY
informed that they had heard all they
cared TO concerning the natter
Risdons widow was not at home
when a Times reporter called, Tues
day morning. one OF the girl roomers
saying she was down town. making
for the funeral. The
roomer said Mrs, Risdon knew of no
reason for her husbands suicide. He
was in good health and spirits on leav-
ing home. early Monday night. and
there had been no trouble between
him and his wife, she added.

ing and arranged to have the body
sent TO the undertaking rooms OF
Charles Giest, No. $50 Randolph-sI.
The burial will likely take place,
Fellow-workers OF Risdon were sur
prised when they heard he was mar
ried; they understood that his MOTH
er was keeping house for him.
Risdon lived in palatial residence,
one OF the finest on Alfred-st. His
wife has been keeping boarders and
roomers. He Is said to have worried
over having to support his mother
and a nephew. He has been married
two years, but has no children OF his
own. He leaves a stepson. IT years
old. besides his wife and other rela-
tives.
Justice Randolph, of Highland Park,
Is making an investigation into Ris-
don's death, and will likely hold an
inquest.
