W|FE'S BODY FOUND
IN RUINS OF HOME
Fred Lawrence, jr., Held on
a Technical Charge of
Drunkenness
MORE SERIOUS CHARGE
MAY BE BROUGHT
Lawrence Was in Bed When Over
come by the Heat and Smoke-Law-
renee Left Before Fire Broke Out.

PlTTSF1ELD, Mass, Nov. 25.-Fred
Laurence, Jr, was arrested by the Lee
police last evening on technical charge
of drunkenness. The body of Mr.. Law
rence's wife was found at 10 clock
yesterday morning in the ruins of her
home at Lawrenceville, a settlement a
mile south of Lee. The house had mys-
teriously burned to the ground late
Thursday night. Mr.. Lawrence was ar
rested after the officers had been closet
ed with him for several hours, and the
Lee police authorities said that there
is possibility that a more serious
charge than that of drunk enness may
be brought against him. The hearing
on the drunkenness charge will probably
be Monday morning.
Chief Frank Coughlin, assisted bv
George w. Boardman, Peter T. Tver
and Martin Mahan, all of the police
force, searched the ruins of the Fred
Lawrence house yesterday morning, and
at 10 o clock found the trunk of
the body of Mrs. Fred Lawrence, ir.
The evidence was that she was in
bed when overcome by the heat and
smoke. A neighbor says that Mr.. Law
renee left the house about Q o'clock
Thursday night, went to the river and
took the boat to cross to his father s
house, and that Mrs. Lawrence fol
lowed. to the river bank and then re
turned to the house. The fire was
discovered about an hour later. 1t is
thought the woman may have set fire
to the house, or accidentally tipped
over a lamp, or that a defective flue
started the blaze. No evidence has
been made public in support of any of
these possibilities. Medical Examiner
ID. NJ. Wilcox was summoned and viewed
the body.
Mrs. Fred Lawrence, ir., 50, was a
native of Nassau, n. Y, and her
maiden name was Nellie Reagan. She
married Fred Lawrence, ir., four years
ago, and they have lived i'll the little
settlement of Lawreneeville. The house
III which they lived was the property
OF Fred Lawrence, ST. It was valued at
81 SOC and there was insurance of
81 600 carried by the +. S. Rogers
agency. Mrs. Lawrence leaves her nus
band, sister, Miss Annie r. Reagan of
Nassau, \. Y, and by former mar
riage two children, Charles and Nora

ST. JOHNSBURY, Nov. 25.-Samuel
Sevigney, 14-year-old school boy, who
disappeared from the home of his par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. Alphonse Sevigney,
on Nov. II, is at home again.
The boy was found in a hospital in

INSURES HIS LIFE
FOR s1,75O,OOO
Automobile Manufacturer Becomes One
OF the Biggest Policy Holders in
the Country

NEW YORK, Nov. '25.-H. T. Dunn
of Toledo, a vice president of the Will
lys-OFerland company, and president
of the Fisk Rubber company, has taken
out life insurance for a little more than
81 100000 This became known yester-
day when the last of the policies was
issued and the big transaction became
topic of discussion among insurance
men.
Rodman Wanamaker, according 10
report, carries more life insurance than
this amount; John Wanamaker is sup
posed to carry as much, but Mr.. Dunn
nevertheless is one of the most heavily
insured men in the world. When it was
disclosed that Tom Shevlin. the former
Yale coach, had been insured for
100000 not long before his death,
the fact caused considerable comment
but Mr.. Dunn is insured for almost
twice this sum.
Part OF the insurance is made ont in
favor of the companies with which Mr.
Dunn is connected. The rest is income
insurance for his wife and daughter
paying them handsome annuities after
his death
The Toledo man is II wears old. and
hive physicians who examined him pro.
nounced him an excellent risk. The poll.
cies were issued by twelve COMPANIES
the largest risk assumed by any one
company being in the neighborhood of

Mr.. Dunn through the physical exami-
nation and to attend TO the mass Of de
tail incident upon issuing the many
policies

last June, was killed by David d. Ov-
erton, his political rival. Overton tes-
tined here yesterday in his trial on a
charge Of murder that he shot the Judge

sWore, was the result of a fight preeipi-
tated by Lawler who, he said. attacked
him with a knife when he refused to
join IN a plan to delay report of the
Madison county grand jury.
The special grand jury in session at
the time Judge LAWYER was killed was
investigating alleged violations OF
prohibition and election laws
At the time it is reported the grand
jury was preparing report regarding
alleged Irregularities in the spring elec

Overton for the probate judgeship. A
report, however, never was made.

The Primrose Path.

Alone, l look across the years
From life's still aftermath,
And see through mists of unshed tears
A little primrose path.
Across youth S lovely sunlit land
Its course lay sweet and straight;
We found it, sweetheart, hand in hand
Through loves half-open gate.
The river rippled on its way.
The hills were hid in mist.
The air was sweet with buds Of Nav.
The. skies were amethyst.
One day our footsteps turned aside
We knew not why or where;
The wilderness was wild and wide,
And doubts were lurking there.
We sought it long, we sought it late,
There was no turning back
Fast closed for us the little gate
That hid the primrose track.
Love all its universe unfolds:
This hope my heart still hath
That somewhere for us Heaven holds
That little primrose path!
