from a man named j. E. Wade of Phila-
delph!a asking for information Of a man
named Frank L. Jones who. the writer
thought. once lived in this city Wade
wrote that Jones was a friend of his ami
that he had not seen him for several
years. He mentioned the fact that a man
named Frank f. Jones said to be of Bur-
lington committed suicide in a Green
Island n. Y, hotel some time ago and
perhaps he was the man he was writing
of. The man who committed suicide in
the Green Island hotel was Burlington
ian who had registered under the assumed
name Of Jones so he is probably not the
one Wade is looking for.
