FAIL TO FIND SECOND
MAN IN Pr HURON MYSTERY
Police Still Search For Esson's
.GnmpaaianE Effort To
Clear Major Case

PORT HURON, Mich. March g.
Despite the efforts OF the police to
elicit tangible Information from
George Essen. the Petrolia man under
arrest In connection with the death
OF Thomas II. Major. whose body was
found under the steps of the First
Baptist church several days, ago, he
has failed TO divulge any real cle~
that will assist the police In Identity
ing the second man who, Essen says,
assisted him in placing Major under
the church steps.
Essen maintains that he was not
guilty OF any wrongTeiHg- that- ne
was simply an innocent bystander,
who got in wrong by assisting e man
In trouble. Although the prisoner adj
mits he saw the other man TAKE
Majors watch and search his pockets
for money, he made no EFFORT TO pro-
tect him. He argues that since he
took nothing he is free OF guilt.
Asked why he left Major dying on
the steps during one OF the worst
storms of the year, he replied:
why not. wouldn't you do that?
All the efforts OF the police just
now is centered in finding the
stranger.
Esson's statement that he was In
hotel at IL o'clock on the night
Major died is denied by James King,
who saws he saw him with stranger
at . o'clock in the morning.
Fl is believed that Essen came 10
Port Huron 10 avoid arrest in his
native town, as he is wanted in Pc
trolia on charge OF arson.
One witness has told the police that
on the last night Major was seen
alive he was perfectly sober, and that
he must have been given dope OF
some kind as he was in semicon-
scious condition while in the theater.
Prosecuting Attorney George mas
been taking testimony Of these Ia
miliar with the facts in the case, and
will be probably late today 10 issue
warrant for Essen. Just what
charge will be made against the man
who Is under arrest, is as yet unde'
termined. Investigations at all the
local drug stores have failed to ellcit
any admission that poison or any kind
was sold TO men answering the Ge-
sCription OF those who carried MaJsr
from the Family theater on Monday
night, last. The police are OF the
opinion That Esson's story is Ill the
main true, confederation OF his state
ments regarding his actions IN re.

officer who went 10 the Canadian town
