A strange life has come to an end
In the death Of Mr.. Sedley Crayden of
Crayden Hill. Mild, harmless, he was
the victim Of a strange delusIon that
Kept him pinned, night and day, in his
chair for the last two years Of his life.
The mysterious death, or rather disap-
pearance, Of his elder brother, James
Crayden, seems to have preyed upon
his mind, for IL was shortly after that
event that his delusion began to mani
fest itself.
Mr.. Crayden never vouchsafed any
explanation Of his strange conduct.
There was nothing the matter with
him physically or mentally; the alien
lists found him normal in-every way
save for his one remarkable iiiosyn-
Grassy. His remaining in his chair was
purely voluntary, an act Of his own
will. And now he is dead and the
mystery remains unsolved.-Extraet
from the Newton Courier-Times.

"Briefy, was Mr.. SedIey Crayden's
confidential servant and valet for the
last eight months of his life. During
that time he worked a good deal on o
manuscript that he kept always beside
him, except when he drowsed or
slept, at which times he invariably
locked 1t In a desk drawer close to bis

In his chair, and 1t was then that
manuscript. I was very curious to

ascertaining that Mr.. Crayden left no
surviving relatives. have decided to

Here follow the excerpts from the
manuscript, made and arranged by
Rudolph Heckler:
/ never killed my brother. Let this
be my first word and my last. Why
should kill him? We lived together
in unbroken harmony for twenty years.
We were old men. and the fires and
tempers of youth had long since
burned out. We never disagreed even
over the most trivial things. Never
was there such amlty as ours. We
were scholars. We cared nothing for
the outside world. Orr companionship
and our books were all-satisfying.
Never were there such talks as we
held. Many a night we have sat up
till two or three In the morning con-
verslng, weighing opinions and judy
ments, referring to authorlties-in
short. we lived at high and friendly
intellectual attitudes.
He disappeared. suffered great
shock. Why should he have dlsap-
peared? Where could he have gone?

1t was brain fever. This was caused
by his lnexplIcalle disappearance. 1t

peared.

Seek Liquor Net LOOphOle

Indictments found at Dover
against N. J. Harrington, of Har-
rington, Ingalls, Melvin, of Will
mington and William Richards
may lead to a test of the Anti
Liquor Shipping law. Melvin and
a companion who were arrested on
the Norfolk express at Dover at
noon on April ID, were found to
be on their way to Easton, Md. At
the hearing before Justice Wood
on April 16, Melvin admitted that
the liquor belonged to him. His
counsel, Thomas G. Frame, Jr.,
claimed that as Melvin was bound
to point in Maryland the word
ing of the Statute, residing, liv-
ing or staying" in said no license
district did not apply in his case.
Justice Wood held t hat he had
more liquor in his possession than
the law allowed one to have in
"dry" territory and held him for
Court. In similar case at Laurel
on April l, Justice Arthur S.
Hearne dismissed Levin Hopkins
and Samuel Games, colored, who
were arrested there, as they left a
train, with nine quarts of whiskey
in suit cases. Hopkins father,
who was to drive them to Sharp
town, testified that they were
